TL;DR: HDL-related biomarkers are robust predictors of disease progression and survival in chronic liver failure and were validated in a large external validation cohort of 985 patients with portal hypertension due to ACLD.

TL;DR: It is observed that prolonged freezing at −20°C or −70°C led to a shedding of apoA-I from HDL and to the formation of large protein-poor particles, indicating that HDL is irreversibly disrupted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of obesity on HDL composition, HDL subclass distribution, parameters of HDL function, and activities of most important enzymes involved in lipoprotein remodeling, including lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) was determined.

TL;DR: AR alters HDL composition linked to decreased anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties but improves the ability of HDL to suppress eosinophil effector responses.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the immune cell modulatory activities of HDL-associated apolipoproteins, enzymes, lipids, and HDL mimetic peptides is provided.
