Remnant lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride reference ranges from the Framingham Heart Study.
Remnants of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins of both intestinal and liver origin are considered atherogenic, but they have been difficult to isolate and measure. An assay has been developed that allows the measurement of remnant-like particle cholesterol (RLP-C) and triglyceride (RLP-TG). RLP-C and RLP-TG concentrations were measured in >3000 fasting plasma samples obtained from participants in e...
متن کاملRemnant Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Incident Coronary Heart Disease: The Jackson Heart and Framingham Offspring Cohort Studies
BACKGROUND Remnant lipoproteins (RLPs), the triglyceride-enriched precursors to low-density lipoprotein, are an emerging risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). We sought to determine the association of RLP cholesterol (RLP-C) levels with incident CHD in 2 diverse, prospective, longitudinal observational US cohorts. METHODS AND RESULTS We analyzed cholesterol levels from serum lipoprote...
متن کاملHigh density lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality. The Framingham Heart Study.
In 12 years of follow-up for 2748 Framingham Heart Study participants ages 50 to 79, low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were associated with increased mortality. For men, the relative risk of death in the first HDL-C quintile (less than 35 mg/dl) as compared to the top quintile (greater than 54 mg/dl) was 1.9 for all causes, and 3.6 and 4.1 for death due to cardiovascula...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a)-cholesterol and coronary heart disease in the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] concentrations have been reported to be an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) in some prospective studies, but not in others. These inconsistencies may relate to a lack of standardization and the failure of some immunoassays to measure all apolipoprotein(a) isoforms equally. METHODS We measured plasma Lp(a)-cholesterol [...
متن کاملTriglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnant levels and metabolism
mong the major components of the standard plasma lipid rofile, the total triglyceride (TG) level is generally considred the weakest risk factor for atherosclerosis, for which here are several likely contributing reasons. First, TG is eadily metabolized and is not a major constituent of therosclerotic plaque. Second, plasma TG varies greatly rom day to day in the fasting state and even more in t...
