LDL cholesterol is associated with blood pressure in Japanese women.
HDL cholesterol is considered a component of insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome, but LDL cholesterol is not considered a component of metabolic syndrome (1–3). We have reviewed the literature and have found that there may be no report regarding the association between LDL cholesterol and blood pressure. We studied cross-sectional relationships between LDL cholesterol and other me...
متن کاملPostprandial decrease in LDL-cholesterol in men with metabolic syndrome
BACKGROUND In some epidemiological studies, blood lipids are determined at non-fasting state, which may impact cardiovascular risk estimation. The aim of this study was to evaluate postprandial LDL-C changes in men with newly diagnosed metabolic syndrome (MetSy). METHODS 36 male patients were examined: 12 men with and 24 men without MetSy. The fat tolerance test was performed before and after...

متن کاملNon-HDL Cholesterol is a More Superior Predictor of Small-Dense LDL Cholesterol than LDL Cholesterol in Japanese Subjects with TG Levels <400 mg/dL
AIM The Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperlipidemia in Japanese adults recommend using low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) calculated by Friedewald formula (F_LDL-C) for subjects with triglyceride (TG) levels ＜400 mg/dL and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels for subjects with TG levels ≥400 mg/dL. Because smal...
متن کاملVitamin D Deficiency is Associated with the Metabolic Syndrome in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes
Background and Objectives: There is convincing evidence that subjects concomitantly affected by type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MeS) are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many metabolic derangements in T2D might be attributed to poor vitamin D status. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations among vitamin D status, MeS and glycemic status in su...
