TL;DR: The results of this prospective population-based study do not support the hypotheses that serum homocysteine or Lp(a) are risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and may be due to the exceptionally low gene frequency predisposing to homocysteinemia in Finland.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the Helsinki Heart Study cohort the serum Lp(a) level was not a predictor of future coronary events.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PLTP can act like the putative conversion factor and has the ability to convert HDL3 into populations of larger and smaller HDL particles.

TL;DR: High amounts of trans fatty acids had more adverse effects on lipoproteins than did equal amounts of stearic acid and dairy fat, and dietary fats low in both saturated fatty acids and trans fatty fatty acids should be favored.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors support the use of regulatory T cells (Tregs) as inhibitors of atherosclerosis, however, the mechanistic properties of Tregs are unknown.
