High-density lipoprotein cholesterol: an emerging target for stroke treatment.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This review characterizes the current state of knowledge of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in relation to stroke. SUMMARY OF REVIEW HDL has anti-atherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory properties and is an important component in atherosclerosis. Serum HDL-cholesterol levels are inversely related to heart disease and stroke risk. There are various established and experimen...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a): an emerging cardiovascular risk factor in hypertensive patients
Background: Several novel criteria can improve detection of subclinical atherosclerosis. In particular, the clinical interest has focused on lipoprotein(a), a modified LDL particle which presents a structurally homologue protein to plasminogen. Aim: The aim of our work was to evaluate the levels of lipoprotein(a), in hypertensive patients with or without atherogenic dyslipidemia comparative wit...
متن کاملEvolving lipoprotein risk factors: lipoprotein(a) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Westernized populations. Evolving lipoprotein risk factors include LDL oxidation and lipoprotein(a) [lp(a)]. Several lines of evidence support a role for oxidatively modified LDL in atherogenesis and its in vivo existence. There are both direct and indirect measures of oxidative stress. The most relevant direct measure of...
متن کاملSerum lipoprotein (a) as an atherosclerosis risk factor in men with androgenic alopecia
Background: The association between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but few studies have focused on the mechanism of this association. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile in male pattern alopecia.Methods: In this case control study, 45 male patients with androgenic alopecia who were aged from 20 to 50 years and 45 men with a norma...
متن کاملHigh density lipoprotein cholesterol: an evolving target of therapy in the management of cardiovascular disease
Since the pioneering work of John Gofman in the 1950s, our understanding of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and its relationship to coronary heart disease (CHD) has grown substantially. Numerous clinical trials since the Framingham Study in 1977 have demonstrated an inverse relationship between HDL-C and one's risk of developing CHD. Over the past two decades, preclinical research ...
