High-density lipoprotein heterogeneity and function in rever... : Current Opinion in Lipidology
High-density lipoprotein heterogeneity and function in reverse cholesterol transport : Current …

Numerous diseases, recently reported to associate with elevated microvesicle/microparticle
(MP) counts, have also long been known to be characterized by accelerated immune …

Apolipoprotein AI (apoA-I) plays important structural and functional roles in plasma high
density lipoprotein (HDL) that is responsible for reverse cholesterol transport. However, a …

HDL protects against vascular disease by accepting free cholesterol from macrophage foam
cells in the artery wall. This pathway is critically dependent on lecithin: cholesterol …

Rationale: HDL (high-density lipoprotein) may be cardioprotective because it accepts
cholesterol from macrophages via the cholesterol transport proteins ABCA1 (ATP-binding …

Plasma lipoprotein levels are predictors of risk for coronary artery disease. Lipoprotein
structure-function relationships provide important clues that help identify the role of …

BACKGROUND It is critical to develop new metrics to determine whether HDL is
cardioprotective in humans. One promising approach is HDL particle concentration (HDL-P) …

This report details the lipid composition of nascent HDL (nHDL) particles formed by the
action of the ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) on apolipoprotein AI (apoA-I) …

BACKGROUND: Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) predicts cardiovascular disease
independently of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Isolated small HDL …
