Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the WHI, statins were associated with a lower overall risk of DLBCL, particularly attributable to lipophilic statins, which may have impact on primary or secondary prevention of NHL, particularlyDLBCL.
Journal Article
Gravidity and parity in postmenopausal American Indian women: The strong heart study
TL;DR: Fertility rates in American Indian women are high, but appear to be decreasing in younger generations, and there was a significant inverse linear relationship of both education and income with fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
LDL Size and Subclass Pattern in Mexico City Residents and San Antonio Mexican Americans
TL;DR: The data suggest that the higher triglyceride concentrations in Mexico City residents that are associated with a higher carbohydrate diet may not be associated with atherogenic changes in LDL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transitions from Ideal to Intermediate Cholesterol Levels may vary by Cholesterol Metric.

TL;DR: Public health and clinical initiatives focused on monitoring TC in middle-adulthood may miss important shifts away from ideal and intermediate LDL-C, potentially increasing the duration, perhaps by decades, that large segments of the population are exposed to suboptimal HDL-C.
Journal Article
Effects of four-day fast on triglyceride mobilization in human adipocytes.
TL;DR: Subcutaneous abdominal fat tissue obtained after an overnight fast and then after four days of fasting indicates that abdominal adipocytes after a four-day fast are metabolically adapted towards increasedneutral glyceride mobilization by reducing glucose incorporation into neutral glycerides, increasing sensitivity of lipolysis to isoproterenol, and increasing basallipolysis.
