Cholesterol Forms and Traditional Lipid Profile for Projection of Atherogenic Dyslipidemia: Lipoprotein Subfractions and Erythrocyte Membrane Cholesterol

Evaluation and management of atherogenic dyslipidemia: beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Surveying The Variations of Lipid and Lipoprotein-Cholesterol in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The importance of variations in lipid and lipoprotein-cholesterol level has been determined in many disorders including cardiovascular and metabolic ones. The following study has been achieved with the aim of determining the level of these factors and their standard variation criteria in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To meet this demand, serum lipid and lipoprotein-cholester...

Effects of cholesterol on lipid organization in human erythrocyte membrane

The molar ratio of cholesterol to phospholipid (C/P) in human erythrocyte membrane is modified by incubating the cells with liposomes of various C/P ratios. The observed increase in cell surface area may be accounted for by the addition of cholesterol molecules. Fusion between liposomes and cells or attachment of liposomes to cells is not a significant factor in the alteration of C/P ratio. Ons...

Association of Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase rs5923 Polymorphism in Iranian Individuals with Extremely Low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study

Background: The serum concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is one of the important heritable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and is a target for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene polymorphism rs5923 on LCAT enzyme activity and serum HDL-C concentration. Methods: The study...

Plasma Lipid and Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentrations Plasma Cholesterol VLDL C / TG ApoE Subject Age Sex Cholesterol

A unique kindred with premature cardiovascular disease, tuboeruptive xanthomas, and type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) associated with familial apolipoprotein (apo) E deficiency was examined. Homozygotes (n = 4) had marked increases in cholesterol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), which could be effectively lowered with diet and medication (...
