To test the hypothesis that low HDL-C concentration interferes with vascular endothelial
function and lipoprotein oxidation, we measured endothelium-dependent flow mediated …

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the basal state are anti-inflammatory, capable of
destroying oxidized lipids that generate an inflammatory response. However, HDL during …

Reduced plasma levels of HDL-C are associated with an increased risk of CAD and
myocardial infarction, as shown in various prospective population studies. However, recent …

AIM: Recently, the concept that high density lipoprotein (HDL) quality is an important
parameter for atheroprotection is gaining ground, though little data exists so far to support it …

Exercise training not only improves the plasma lipid profile but also reduces risk of
developing coronary heart disease. We investigate whether plasma lipids and high density …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is classified as a negative risk factor due to the inverse
relationship between elevated levels of HDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis. The …

A number of studies have shown that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with
increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Chronic kidney disease is characterized by …

Evidence that low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) causes cardiovascular disease
(CVD) is overwhelming. It has also been proven beyond all doubt that lowering the level of …

Although high-density lipoproteins (HDL) possess many features that contribute to the
association between elevated HDL cholesterol and protection from atherosclerosis, these …

Background Exercise is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Increased
high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) levels are thought to contribute to these …
