Serum cholesterol concentration and coronary heart disease in population with low cholesterol concentrations.

Serum tocopherol, cholesterol, and triglyceride in coronary heart disease.

THE vast number of studies made in recent years on serum lipids in patients with occlusive arterial disease has left no doubt of an association between a disordered lipid metabolism and this widespread disease. It is now well established that hyperlipidemia is not an absolutely necessary but a quantitatively very important factor in the development of human atherosclerosis and of isehemic tissu...

Reference Values for Serum Total Cholesterol Concentrations Using Percentile Regression Model: A Population Study in Mashhad

Background and Purpose: Serum total cholesterol (TC) concentrations are affected by several factors including ethnicity, diet, geographic, and environmental determinants, and are related to another disease, including hypothyroidism, and renal and liver disease. It is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly if associated with high levels of serum low-density lip...

Increased serum cholesterol esterification rates predict coronary heart disease and sudden death in a general population.

OBJECTIVE Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is thought to be important in reverse cholesterol transport. However, its association with coronary heart disease (CHD) and sudden death is controversial. APPROACH AND RESULTS We prospectively studied 1927 individuals from the general population. Serum concentrations of apolipoprotein A-I, A-II, B, C-II, C-III, E, and LCAT activity measure...

Age, serum cholesterol and coronary artery disease.

The question of an age-associated rise in serum cholesterol has been undecided. This communication presents evidence in favor of a rise in serum cholesterol with increasing age between the third and the fifth decades. In a control group of 146 individuals and a coronary disease group of 97 individuals, there was a positive correlation between age and serum cholesterol. In the coronary disease g...
