ATP-binding cassette G1 membrane transporter-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity influences coronary atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

TL;DR: Cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) measures the ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to remove cholesterol from macrophages and reduce the lipid content of atherosclerotic plaques as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Antirheumatic Treatment on Cell Cholesterol Efflux and Loading Capacity of Serum Lipoproteins in Spondylarthropathies

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated modifications of cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC) and atherogenic cholesterol loading capacity (CLC) of serum lipoproteins in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) following anti-rheumatic treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid cholesterol esterification is hampered in Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated cholesterol esterification and HDL subclasses in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and found that LDL esters are significantly associated with disease biomarkers (i.e., CSF Aβ1-42).
