Epidemiological studies have shown that low levels of plasma high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with increased atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease …

High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) is a continuous inverse cardiovascular risk
factor. The mechanisms by which HDLs protect against atherosclerosis are multiple. The …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) plays a central role in vascular biology. HDL participates in
multiple pathways that may be involved in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary …

The concentration of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) has been found
consistently to be a powerful negative predictor of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) …

Conclusion HDL is clearly a functionally versatile molecule mediating a variety of molecular
processes protective against atherosclerosis. Mechanistic detail continues to greatly enrich …

The vast majority of research about HDL (high-density lipoprotein) has for decades revolved
around the possible role of HDL in atherosclerosis and its therapeutic potential within …

Despite great progress being made during the last two decades in cardiovascular disease
prevention, especially by lowering low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol with statins …

Epidemiological studies during the last five years suggest that a relation between high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is the most prevalent lipid abnormality in
patients with known coronary heart disease (CHD). Since the 1960 s, epidemiologic studies …

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) have multiple pleiotropic effects against arteriosclerosis.
Most are independent of the cholesterol mass within HDL particles. Yet, HDL cholesterol …
