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 …

The plasma lipoproteins are the primary means of transport of cholesterol among tissues. In
particular, the apo B-containing lipoproteins (VLDL, IDL and LDL) are important for the …

Low plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are associated with

The founding member of the lipoprotein receptor family, low-density lipoprotein receptor
(LDLR) plays a major role in the atherogenesis through the receptor-mediated endocytosis …

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease [1, 2] which manifests in the pathological
thickening of the walls of large arteries, and is related to lipid depositions. Lipids, including …

Plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a central role in atherogenesis, and elevated
levels of LDL are associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) …

Elevated low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) levels represent one of the most
important risk factors for atherosclerosis and therefore cardiovascular morbidity and …

Blood levels of lipids and lipoproteins are prominent among the factors identified as
contributing to the development of coronary artery disease. Studies have demonstrated that …

Atherosclerosis and its complications are prevalent worldwide with a high prevalence in
western societies. The disease may sometimes be explained by a defect of low density …
