The specific interest concerning HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is related to its ability to uptake
and return surplus cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver and, therefore, to its …

Background While several lines of evidence prove that elevated concentrations of low-
density lipoproteins (LDL) causally contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and its …

Relationship between HDL‐c and cardiovascular diseases: Beyond the role of low‐density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐c) in the development of atherosclerosis, growing evidence …

Epidemiological studies have shown that low plasma levels of High Density Lipoprotein
Cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with an increased risk for myocardial infarction. These …

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death in western societies. In the last
few decades, a number of epidemiological studies have shown that a disproportion between …

Epidemiological studies have suggested an inverse correlation between high-density

In the last six decades, high density lipoproteins (HDL) have been extensively considered to
reduce the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD); in fact, the cholesterol carried by HDL …

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 lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been dubbed the good cholesterol
because it is thought to reflect the ability of HDL particles to remove excess cholesterol …
