independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Resulting from its complex, multifaceted …

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are well known for their protective role against the
development and progression of atherosclerosis. Atheroprotection is mainly due to the key …

Background and aims Fargesin mainly functions in the improvement of lipid metabolism and
the inhibition of inflammation, but the role of fargesin in atherogenesis and the molecular …

The protein composition of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) is extremely fluid. The quantity
and quality of protein constituents drive the multiple biological functions of these …

Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated a positive association between

Dyslipidemia is a typical trait of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is typically
characterized by reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (c) levels. The low HDL …

Atherosclerosis affects millions of people worldwide. However, the wide variety of limitations
in the current therapeutic options leaves much to be desired in future lipid-lowering …

Abstract Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations are a typical trait of the dyslipidemia
associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this condition, plasma HDLs are …

Background The phrase “dysfunctional high-density lipoprotein” has been developed in the
literature to describe the particle which loses its basic role-anti-oxidative and anti …
