Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of various electrophoretic characteristics of LDL particles and their relationship to the risk of ischemic heart disease.

TL;DR: Results from this large, population-based, prospective study suggest that further characterization of LDL particles by PAGGE, in addition to the traditional lipid profile, may improve the ability to predict IHD events in men.
Journal ArticleDOI

The HDL proteome in acute coronary syndromes shifts to an inflammatory profile.

TL;DR: Increased abundance of SAA, C3, and other inflammatory proteins in HDL from ACS patients suggests that HDL reflects a shift to an inflammatory profile which, in turn, might alter the protective effects of HDL on the atherosclerotic plaque.
Journal Article

A prospective, population-based study of low density lipoprotein particle size as a risk factor for ischemic heart disease in men.

TL;DR: The present study provides the first large scale, population-based, prospective evidence supporting the hypothesis that small, dense LDL particles may be associated with an increased risk of IHD and suggests that information on LDL diameter may improve the ability to predict IHD risk accurately over traditional lipid variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of an ABCA1-dependent phospholipid-rich plasma membrane apolipoprotein A-I binding site for nascent HDL formation: implications for current models of HDL biogenesis.

TL;DR: Treatment of cells with phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase C, but not sphingomyelinase, concomitantly reduced the binding of 125I-apoA-I to the HCBS, apoA- I-mediated cholesterol efflux, and the formation of nascent apo-I-containing particles, suggesting a two binding site model for ABCA1-mediated nascent HDL genesis.
