Disease-associated marked hyperalphalipoproteinemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Marked hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HAL) is a heterogeneous syndrome. To clarify the pathophysiological significance of HAL, we compared clinical profiles between marked HAL subjects with and without cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) deficiency. CETP deficiency was associated with cardiovascular diseases and strokes in the HAL population, particularly in female. HAL women without CETP deficiency tended to have higher prevalence with cancer history. HAL may not always be a longevity marker, but be sometimes accompanied with pathological conditions.

Scavenger receptor class B type I protein as an independent predictor of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in subjects with hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
CONTEXT In mice, scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI) receptor protein deficiency is associated with elevated high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine the relationship between SR-BI protein and HDL-C levels in humans. DESIGN This was a prospective study of adults with hyperalphalipoproteinemia. Fasting blood was obtained for l...
متن کاملLipoproteins in familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
Familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia is determined by a major gene and is characterized by high levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and longevity. To describe the plasma lipoproteins in this condition more completely, a kindred consisting of the proband, her affected father, add her two affected brothers was studied. Fasting plasmas were analyzed for lipoprotein lipids by combined prep...
متن کاملMetabolic abnormalities in multiple symmetric lipomatosis: elevated lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue with hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
Lipoprotein lipase activity in lipomatous tissue, post-heparin lipoprotein lipase activity in plasma, and the composition and concentration of serum lipoproteins were studied in 15 patients with Multiple Symmetric Lipomatosis (MSL). Extremely elevated lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue was found in MSL patients. Total and hepatic post-heparin plasma lipolytic activity was normal, whi...
