Increased small low-density lipoprotein particle number: a prominent feature of the metabolic syndrome in the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) are frequently not elevated in individuals with the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). However, the atherogenic potential of LDL may depend on the number and size of LDL particles in addition to the cholesterol content of LDL. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined the sex-specific cross-sectional relations of small LDL particle number (determined by nuclear ma...
متن کاملConversion of human low density lipoprotein into a very low density lipoprotein-like particle in vitro.
The lipid substrate specificity of Manduca sexta lipid transfer particle (LTP) was examined in in vitro lipid transfer assays employing high density lipophorin and human low density lipoprotein (LDL) as donor/acceptor substrates. Unesterified cholesterol was found to exchange spontaneously between these substrate lipoproteins, and the extent of transfer/exchange was not affected by LTP. By cont...
متن کاملLow-resolution data analysis for low-density lipoprotein particle.
The knowledge of the molecular structure of LDL, a large lipoprotein complex, is of great interest for medical investigations. Currently available LDL crystals do not diffract to high resolution and do not allow the application of standard crystallographic techniques. Additional difficulties arise because of a very dense crystal packing and the presence of several components with quite differen...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein particle number: a better measure to quantify high-density lipoprotein?
Limitations in our ability to predict cardiovascular risk have fueled efforts to identify novel risk markers and to refine the measurement of traditional risk factors, such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Standard assays to evaluate LDL-C and HDL-C quantify the cholesterol content within the respective lipoprotein fraction. Howeve...
متن کاملcholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein particle concentration and guideline categories of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
International clinical practice guidelines on dyslipidemia emphasize the importance of matching the use and intensity of statin therapy with the absolute risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Indeed, independent of the baseline level of dyslipidemia, patients who have entered the intervention arms of randomized clinical trials of statin therapy with similar absolute risks of CVD...
