HDL plays an initial role in reverse cholesterol transport by mediating cholesterol removal from cells. During infection and inflammation, several changes in HDL composition occur that may affect the function of HDL; therefore, we determined the ability of acute-phase HDL to promote cholesterol removal from cells. Acute-phase HDL was isolated from plasma of Syrian hamsters injected with lipopol...

Background: The effect of cannabis on cholesterol and lipid balance has been reported for decades. However, there are conflicting reports the reduction low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) total cholesterol. purpose this study was to determine immediate changes Cannabis spp. consumption by pyrolytic route in heavy users. Methods: A cross-sectional 20 Peruvian users (mean age: 31 ± 9.5 years). inclus...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with modified-hen-egg-yolk on plasma lipids and lipoprotein profiles in rats. During four-week-experiment, 64 Wistar rats were divided into four groups 16 (eight both sexes), fed commercial rat food (group C); containing 70% mixture 30% freshly cooked egg yolk originating from laying hen eggs 3% fish oil F); palm ol...

H igh-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been proposed to have several antiatherosclerotic properties, including the ability to mediate macrophage cholesterol efflux, antioxidant capacity, antiinflammatory properties, nitric oxide–promot-ing activity, and ability to transport proteins with their own intrinsic biological activities. 1 HDL particles are critical acceptors of cholesterol from lipid-lad...

Background: Hypertension is one of the most common diseases with increasing morbidity and mortality. HTN associated cardiovascular risk factors such as insulin resistance (IR) hyperlipidemia. Recently, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed a marker for resistance. Aims Objectives: This study aimed to assess TyG index, triglyceride high-density lipoprotein ratio, other lipid ratios ...
