High Density Lipoprotein and it’s Dysfunction
Plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) levels do not predict functionality and composition of high-density lipoprotein(HDL). Traditionally, keeping levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) down and HDL-C up have been the goal of patients to prevent atherosclerosis that can lead to coronary vascular disease(CVD). People think about the HDL present in their cholesterol tes...
متن کاملPleiotropic effects of niacin: Current possibilities for its clinical use.
Niacin was the first hypolipidemic drug to significantly reduce both major cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Niacin favorably influences all lipoprotein classes, including lipoprotein[a],and belongs to the most potent hypolipidemic drugs for increasing HDL-C. Moreover, niacin causes favorable changes to the qualitative composition of lipoprotein HDL. I...
متن کاملHDL signaling and protection against coronary artery atherosclerosis in mice.
Atherosclerosis is a leading underlying factor in cardiovascular disease and stroke, important causes of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Abundant epidemiological studies demonstrate that high levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) are associated with reduced risk of atherosclerosis and preclinical, animal model studies demonstrate that this association is causative. Understanding th...
متن کاملAnti-atherogenic Functions of High Density Lipoproteins
HDL has many protective activities against atherosclerosis including its role in reverse cholesterol transport, and its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and endothelial cell maintenance functions. Various HDL subclasses vary in quantitative and qualitative content of lipids, apolipopropteins, enzymes, and lipid transfer proteins, resulting in differences in shape, density, size, charge, and anti...
متن کاملتأثیر پلی‌مرفیسم I405V ژن CETP بر پاسخ لیپیدی به تغییر ترکیب اسیدهای چرب رژیم غذایی
Background and objectives: Atherosclerosis results from a complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. Free cholesterol efflux from peripheral tissues and transferring to the liver for excretion from bile which is known as reverse cholesterol transfer (RCT) plays a central role in protection against atherosclerosis. HDL and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) are the maj...
