Non-HDL cholesterol: into the spotlight.
The elevated coronary heart disease (CHD) risk affecting patients with type 2 diabetes may be attributed to a combined dyslipidemia characterized by elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, small dense LDL particles (independent of the LDL cholesterol level), elevated triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins (TGRLs), and/or elevated apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels (1). All of these feature...
متن کاملReference intervals for serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol in Batswana adults.
Reference intervals of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol concentrations were determined on 309 blood donors from an urban and peri-urban population of Botswana. Using non-parametric methods to establish 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the distribution, the intervals were: total cholesterol 2.16 - 5.52 mmol/l; non-HDL cholesterol 1.22 - 4.48 mmol/l; and HDL cholesterol 0...
متن کاملNon-HDL cholesterol and apoB in dyslipidaemia.
On the basis of a high correlation, non-HDL-C (non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and apoB (apolipoprotein B) have been suggested to be of equivalent value for clinical practice; however, the strength of this relationship has not been examined in detail in patients with dyslipidaemia. The present study examines the variance of non-HDL-C compared with apoB in 1771 consecutive patients eva...
متن کاملGenetics of increased HDL cholesterol levels: insights into the relationship between HDL metabolism and atherosclerosis.
Astrong inverse association exists between plasma HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and incidence of coronary artery disease.1 Although environmental factors play a role, variation in HDL-C levels are at least 50% genetically determined.2 The genetics of syndromes of very low HDL-C have been extensively studied. Mutations in apoA-I (the major HDL structural protein), ABCA1 (which promotes efflux o...
متن کاملPrevalence of Elevated Non-HDL Cholesterol among Patients with Diabetes in An Iranian Population
Background and Aims: Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which reflects all cholesterol present in potentially atherogenic lipoprotein particles, might be a useful marker of atherosclerosis in diabetic subjects. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of high non-HDL-C in patients with dyslipidemia in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects following LDL-C assessment as t...
