Small-dense LDL cholesterol/large-buoyant LDL cholesterol ratio as an excellent marker for indicating lipodystrophy in HIV-infected patients.
OBJECTIVES To examine whether the lipid parameters are predicting factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lipodystrophy. METHODS Whole-body fat compositions of HIV-positive patients receiving stavudine-containing antiretroviral regimens (n = 79) were determined. Lipodystrophy was defined as a ratio of trunk fat mass/lower limb fat mass greater than 2.28. Blood samples were a...
متن کاملRatio of Dense to Buoyant LDL Subclass is Associated with LDL Density Phenotype (VLDL-5)
Background: Dense LDL phenotypes are associated with increased atherogenicity, and are commonly evaluated for the purposes of atherosclerosis research and cardiovascular risk discrimination. Objective: To examine the ability of LDL subclasses, expressed as a ratio of dense-to-buoyant subclass, to predict LDL
متن کاملSmall dense LDL is more susceptible to glycation than more buoyant LDL in Type 2 diabetes.
Glycation of apoB (apolipoprotein B) of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) increases its atherogenicity. Concentrations of both serum glyc-apoB (glycated apoB) and SD-LDL (small dense LDL) (syn LDL3; D=1.044-1.063 g/ml) are increased in diabetes and are closely correlated. We studied whether SD-LDL is more susceptible to glycation in vitro than more buoyant LDL in statin- and non-statin-treated Type...
متن کاملClinical Utility of Small Dense LDL Cholesterol in Metabolic Syndrome
The metabolic syndrome (syndrome X, Insulin resistance syndrome) consists of a constellation of metabolic abnormalities that confer increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). The rising prevalence of overweight and obesity in India has a direct correlation with the increasing prevalence of obesityrelated co-morbidities, hypertension, the metabolic syndrome, dysli...
متن کاملUsefulness of serum total cholesterol/triglyceride ratio for predicting the presence of small, dense LDL.
OBJECTIVE We examined the usefulness of the serum total cholesterol (TC)/triglyceride (TG) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C)/TG ratios for predicting the presence of small, dense LDL, by comparing them with the established indicators of small, dense LDL, such as the LDL-migration index (LDL-MI) and LDL-C/Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) ratio. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fasting serum lipid was analyzed in 99 Jap...
