Although tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common primary in world, much fewer studies on its pathophysiology have been carried out comparison to other headaches. Inflammatory processes are important of both peripheral and central pain. Studies role inflammatory markers TTH patients limited. Therefore, this study, it was aimed examine parameters TTH. 199 154 control participants were invo...

Particle size of low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins and cholesterol esterification rate in HDL plasma (FER(HDL)) are important independent predictors of coronary artery diseases (CAD). In this study we assessed the interrelations between these indicators and routinely examined plasma lipid parameters and plasma glucose concentrations. In 141 men, healthy volunteers, we examin...

It is a great irony that the earliest discovered lipoprotein is also the least well understood. In 1929, Michel Machebouef at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, using salt precipitation techniques, isolated a lipoprotein particle from horse serum composed predominantly of an a-globulin (59%), which we now know to be high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (1). Epidemiological studies in the 1970s, includin...

La variabilité intra-individuelle du cholestérol, et plus précisément LDL-cholestérol, mais, possiblement aussi, celle HDL-cholestérol apparaissent comme potentiellement délétères. Plusieurs études ont objectivé une association indépendante entre la d’une part, le risque d’accidents cardiovasculaires (infarctus myocarde, accident vasculaire cérébral) mortalité globale, d’autre part. Par ailleur...

BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that an increased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is not causally protective against heart disease, shifting focus to other sub-phenotypes of HDL. Prior work on the effects of dietary intakes has focused largely on HDL-C. The goal of this study was to identify the dietary intakes that affect HDL-related measures: HDL-C, HDL-2, HDL-3, and apoA...

OBJECTIVES To examine the association between the fractional esterification rate of cholesterol (C) in low density lipoprotein- and very low density lipoprotein-depleted plasma (FER(HDL)) and coronary artery disease (CAD) and the influence of serum HDL-C levels. BACKGROUND The function of HDL in reverse cholesterol transport is involved in the antiatherogenic action of HDL, and FER(HDL) is a ...
