High-density lipoproteins (HDL) possess key atheroprotective biological properties, including cellular cholesterol efflux capacity, and anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Plasma HDL particles are highly heterogeneous in physicochemical properties, metabolism, and biological activity. Within the circulating HDL particle population, small, dense HDL particles display elevated cellul...

Obesity is a condition of excess body fat mass with cardiometabolic complications. The levels serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) decrease in obesity because it stored adipose tissue compartments and related to dyslipidemia conditions. A high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio dyslipidemia. Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) one the parameters indicating central visceral distribution Thi...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles transport (among other molecules) cholesterol (HDL-C). In epidemiological studies, plasma HDL-C levels have an inverse relationship to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. It has been assumed that this reflects the protective functions of HDL, which include their ability to promote cholesterol efflux. Yet, several recent pharmacological an...

The influence of high density lipoproteins (HDL) on luteinizing hormone-stimulated rat ovarian theca/interstitial cell steroidogenesis was studied. Without HDL the cells produced primarily androgens from progestin precursors. In the presence of rat or human HDL steroid output increased 3-5-fold, but the type of steroid produced was dependent on the source of the HDL. Human HDL nonselectively am...

During infection and inflammation there is a cascade of reactions that occurs in the host collectively known as the acute-phase response (APR).1 Besides alterations in acute-phase reactants (plasma proteins), the APR is also associated with changes in lipoproteins.2 Increasing evidence suggests that high density lipoproteins (HDL) are a critical part of the acute phase response (APR) of the inn...

Apolipoprotein A-l-contalnlng llpoprotelns (high density llpoproteins, HDL) can be separated Into two subtractions, which have pre-beta and alpha electrophoretic mobilities, respectively. These fractions differ In both composition and structure. Some preparations of pre-beta-mlgratlng HDL, but not alpha-migrating HDL, were found to contain two polypeptldes with Mr of approximately 26 and 14 kDa...

Coordinating firmware development among many international collaborators is becoming a very widespread problem in high-energy physics. Guaranteeing synthesis reproducibility and assuring traceability of binary files paramount. We devised Hog (HDL on git), set Tcl scripts (no external tool or library needed) that tackles these issues deeply integrated with FPGA IDEs (Xilinx Vivado Design Suite/I...
