Lipoprotein Electrophoretic Patterns, Serum Lipids, and Coronary Heart Disease

Lipoprotein electrophoretic patterns, serum lipids, and coronary heart disease.

Lipoprotein electrophoresis was performed on serum from subjects with and without coronary heart disease, and the patterns compared with the serum concentrations of triglyceride and cholesterol. The beta- and pre-beta-lipoproteins, expressed as a percentage of the total lipoprotein, correlate strongly with the cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, respectively. The beta- and pre-beta-lip...

[Serum lipids and lipoprotein in hypertension and ischemic heart disease].

Numerous reports have demonstrated that various serum lipids, especially cholesterol and triglyceride, relate to atherosclerosis. It has been accepted that atherosclerosis is one of the most frequent causes of ischemic heart disease, and many investigators have reported that the average values for the serum concentration of cholesterol and several other lipids are higher in groups of patients, ...

[High density lipoprotein and coronary heart disease].

Lipoprotein(a) and coronary heart disease.

The role of lipoprotein (a) in the atherosclerotic process is continually being unraveled, and many of its potential proatherogenic and prothrombotic features have already been elucidated. Whereas most studies have demonstrated a strong association between lipoprotein (a) and the presence and severity of coronary heart disease, other groups have failed to observe such a relationship, which does...

Lipoprotein Lipase Gene PvuII Polymorphism Serum Lipids and Risk for Coronary Artery Disease: Meta-Analysis

Our aim was to determine whether lipoprotein lipase gene PvuII polymorphism can be considered as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) by conducting a meta-analysis of all available published trials, including our own study. In 7 seperate studies, 3289 subjects were screened for this substitution; meta-analysis included only some of these individuals. Among the 7 studies,...
