It is known in healthy that the ingestion of equal amounts of cholesterol results in a variable response in the concentration of cholesterol in plasma lipoproteins, attributed to individual differences in the ability to absorb food cholesterol and block its synthesis. These variations depend on unknown genetic factors and seem frequent and determinant in cases of familial genetic hypercho…
We have finished and published the results of a FAPESP sponsored investigation (Fapesp # 2006/60585-9) in 800 healthy volunteer, both genders, selected from a population in the city of Campinas (State of São Paulo). After rigorously matching cases for age and gender and excluding biases due to obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, alcohol abuse, use of oral contraceptives and drugs that might …
Low plasma levels of HDL cholesterol are correlated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease in a much more significant manner than are high plasma levels of LDL cholesterol, which makes low HDL a more important risk factor. Although the mechanisms of LDL atherogenicity have been well elucidated, the exact mechanism by which HDL exerts its antiatherogenic effects remains unclear. One …
Population assays have consistently shown that the HDL concentration is inversely related to the incidence of cardiovascular disease and plays a protective role that is far more important than LDL as a risk factor. Although the atherogenic mechanisms of LDL have been extensively exploited in vitro and in vivo, the precise antiatherogenic mechanisms attributed to HDL are incompletely under…
