Serum High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol

Study of Serum Paraoxonase and High Density Lipoprotein Fractions in Diabetes

Objective: Significant alteration in lipid profile and antioxidant system occurs in response to diabetes mellitus (DM). Paraoxonase (PON) is a family of three enzymes PON1, PON2 and PON3 associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL). The HDL in human plasma consists of two main sub-fractions HDL2C and HDL3C. We studied the HDL subclasses and HDL associated enzyme paraoxonase with respect to di...

Relationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis

Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...

The relationship between concentrations of glycosylated haemoglobins and of serum high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol in diabetic patients.

1. Concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and of glycosylated haemoglobins [HbA1(a+b+c)] were measured in non-fasting blood samples taken from 171 diabetic patients. 2. Mean concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol were lower in men, and in patients not requiring insulin. 3. There was no correlation between concentrations of high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and...

Determination of high-density lipoprotein phospholipids in serum.

I describe a method for measuring high-density lipoprotein phospholipids. Magnesium chloride and dextran sulfate are used to precipitate all low-density and very-low-density lipoproteins. The supernate contains only high-density lipoproteins, the phospholipid concentration of which is determined by an enzymic method. The precision of the method (CV) is 2.35% (10 repeated assays), and the mean v...
