Uptake of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles by macrophages represents a key step in
the development of atherosclerotic plaques, leading to the foam cell formation. Chemical …

During inflammation multiple changes in HDL structure occur leading to alterations in HDL
function. In the short term, these changes may be beneficial resulting in an increase in …

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) has long been referred to as 'good
cholesterol'due to its apparent inverse relationship with future CVD risk. More recent …

High density lipoproteins (HDL) are heterogeneous particles composed by a vast array of
proteins and lipids, mostly recognized for their cardiovascular (CV) protective effects …

Abstract BACKGROUND HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is a commonly used lipid biomarker for
assessing cardiovascular health. While a central focus has been placed on the role of HDL …

Backgrounds Consistent correlation of serum amyloid A (SAA) to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is

Individuals with autoimmune inflammatory diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus,
rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. While …

Background Low plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) are typical of
