The five different types of lipoproteins are chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL),
intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and HDL. Lipoproteins …

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 …

Cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in water and therefore these lipids must be
transported in association with proteins. Lipoproteins are complex particles with a central …

[en] Case control and prospective epidemiological studies have found a striking, consistently
negative association between High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels and coronary vascular …

This book meets the long-awaited need for a comprehensive overview of the biological role
of HDLs. Edited by one of the pioneers in HDL and cholesterol research, this monograph …

Several epidemiological studies have clearly shown that low plasma levels of high density
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) represent a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor …

The aim of this work is to present basic information on the lipoprotein physiology. The
protein fraction of lipoproteins consists of several apolipoproteins and enzymes whose …

Epidemiological studies point to an inverse relationship between high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) levels and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). 1-5 Clinical trials such as the …

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) have captured the imagination of scientists and physicians
from virtually the time they were originally described, but especially after the cholesterol …

LDL cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is a fat that circulates in the blood,
moving cholesterol around the body to where it is needed for cell repair and depositing it …
