Epidemiological studies have established that plasma concentration of HDL is inversely
correlated with the risk of coronary heart disease, even in the absence of increased LDL …

High density lipoproteins (HDLs) and their subspecies play a role in the development of
coronary heart disease (CHD). HDL subpopulations were measured by 2-dimensional …

Women have significantly higher plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
and apolipoprotein (apo) AI than men. Human HDL consists of two major species of apoA-I …

Low mean concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol have long been
recognized as a characteristic of patients with coronary heart disease, and the measurement …

Individuals with elevated plasma concentrations of HDL cholesterol are at lower risk for
ischemic heart disease (IHD). Whether the cardioprotective effects of HDL can be attributed …

Several studies have shown an inverse relationship between HDL cholesterol (HDL-C)
levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease. Low HDL-C levels are commonly present in …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are a strong inverse predictor of
atherosclerosis risk, but the physiological determinants of HDL-C levels are poorly …

Background High density lipoproteins (HDL) can be divided into two metabolically distinct
fractions, one containing apolipoprotein (Apo) AI but not ApoA-II [apolipoprotein AI; …

HDLs are heterogeneous in their apolipoprotein composition. Apolipoprotein (apo) AI and
apoA-II are the major proteins found in HDL and form the two major HDL subclasses: those …

High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) has emerged as a negative risk factor
for coronary heart disease. Humans with low levels of HDL-cholesterol are at greater risk of …
