Abstract Background: Because LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) is a modifiable risk for coronary
heart disease, its routine measurement is recommended in the evaluation and management …

Plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) comprises a heterogeneous family of
lipoprotein species, differing in surface charge, size and lipid and protein compositions …

Importance Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a key cardiovascular disease
marker, is often estimated by the Friedewald or Martin equation, but calculating LDL-C is …

Importance Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is typically estimated with the
Friedewald or Martin/Hopkins equation; however, if triglyceride levels are 400 mg/dL or …

High density lipoprotein (HDL) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) are cholesterol transport
particles whose plasma concentrations are directly (LDL) and inversely (HDL) correlated …

Background—Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) causes endothelial dysfunction in
part by decreasing the availability of endothelial nitric oxide (NO). Although HMG CoA …

N∊-(Carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) is an advanced glycation end product formed on protein
by combined nonenzymatic glycation and oxidation (glycoxidation) reactions. We now report …

The mechanism by which 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitors
increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression is unknown. To determine …
