Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is a broad-spectrum, lipid-altering drug, shown to increase HDL and decrease total cholesterol, triglycerides, VLDL, LDL-C and lipoprotein (a). In addition to ...

Anyone, ranging from young adults to the elderly, can be at risk of developing small, dense LDL particles. It appears that the development of small, dense LDL can be inherited. Additionally, lifestyle ...

They had higher HDL, but lower LDL, cholesterol and a higher waist-to-hip ratio (indicative of central obesity). They were also more likely to be ex-smokers, and to be taking statins, and they had ...

Methods: Plasma RC levels were measured in 114 RA patients and 41 healthy controls, calculated as total cholesterol minus HDL-C and LDL-C. These levels were further analyzed using 1 H-NMR ...

Fibrates (fenofibrate, bezafibrate, gemfibrozil, ciprofibrate) act as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonists, resulting in decreased VLDL synthesis and increased TG clearance.

Laboratory measures of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), HDL, and triglycerides were analyzed, excluding outliers. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with HDL and LDL metabolism were ...

Light to moderate alcohol drinking can raise HDL, but heavy drinking can increase total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. This raises the chance of developing cardiovascular disease.

The numbers on a standard lipid panel typically include total cholesterol, LDL (or ‘bad’ cholesterol), HDL (‘good’ cholesterol), triglycerides and total cholesterol, along with non-HDL ...
