High-density lipoprotein particle number: a better measure to quantify high-density lipoprotein?
Limitations in our ability to predict cardiovascular risk have fueled efforts to identify novel risk markers and to refine the measurement of traditional risk factors, such as low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Standard assays to evaluate LDL-C and HDL-C quantify the cholesterol content within the respective lipoprotein fraction. Howeve...

full textIncreased Antioxidant Quality Versus Lower Quantity of High Density Lipoprotein in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress may be involved in the pathogenesis of every human disease. To understand its possible role in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we measured the overall oxidative status of patients with BPH and the serum activity of the high density lipoprotein (HDL)-related antioxidant enzymes paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and arylesterase (ARE). METHODS Fifty-six urology outpatient cli...
full textHigh-density lipoprotein subfractions--what the clinicians need to know.
Although the inverse relationship between plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and cardiovascular disease has been largely demonstrated, many observations have suggested that the assessment of HDL functionality might be more informative than a simple measurement of HDL-cholesterol plasma levels. HDLs are a class of structurally and functionally heterogeneous particles; in atheroscler...
