the major lipoprotein classes are heterogenous. human serum high-density-lipoproteins (hdl) are separated into two major subfractions (hdl2, d=1.063-1.125 g/ml, hdl3, d=1.125-1.210 g/ml) by a simple double precipitation method. there was a strong inverse relation between hdl-cholesterol (hdl-c) and subfractions hdl2-c and hdl3-c with atherosclerosis. this study demonstrated that hdl-c (p<0.001)...

Background: Apolipoprotein A2 (APOA2) is the second major apolipoprotein of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The study aim was to identify APOA2 gene variation in individuals within two extreme tails of HDL-C levels and its relationship with HDL-C level. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on participants from Tehran Glucose and Lipid Study (TLGS) at Research Ins...

Background: Unstable angina and myocardial infarction are developed due to atherosclerosis of coronary arteries. At present, cholestrol, triglyceride, and lipoproteins are the most common risk factors of death. The purpose of this study was to assess the serum levels of LP (a), LDL-C, VLDL-C, HDL-C in cases of unstable angina and myocardial infarction.Methods: This study was conducted to compar...

the aim of this study was to obtain an insight into the influence of an interval progressive (pyramidal) aerobic training on serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles in san-shou athletes. 13 national levels male san shou player were (23.23 ± 2 years and 66.27±2.75kg,171.8 ± 2.8 cm in high and 22.42± 0.51 bmi) were voluntarily participated in this study. blood samples (10ml) were taken from an arm v...

objective(s): atherosclerosis is the main leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. the purpose of this study was to assess the potential preventive effect of egg yolk hdl on the atherosclerosis plaque formation. materials and methods: thirty rabbits were divided into five groups: a; normal diet, b; hyper-cholesterolemic diet, c; hypercholesterolemic + 400 mg/kg egg yolk hdl d; hypercholesterol...
