TL;DR: In middle-aged participants without CVD or lipid disorders requiring medication, the worst lipid profile was determined by the highest levels of TRL-C and their cholesterol-rich remnants in migraineurs without aura for both sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects in post-menopausal women of transdermal estrogen associated with progestin upon the removal from the plasma of a microemulsion that resembles low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

TL;DR: The association used in this study so as to mimic the increasing-decreasing pattern of the hormonal ovarian production reduced modestly LDL-cholesterol levels but pronouncedly increased the lipoprotein removal as tested by LDE FCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 concentration and recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Ye-Xuan Cao,Hui-Hui Liu,Jing-Lu Jin,Di Sun,Yuan-Lin Guo,Na-Qiong Wu,Cheng-Gang Zhu,Rui-Xia Xu,Jing Sun,Raul D. Santos,Raul D. Santos,Jian-Jun Li +11 more
TL;DR: Increased level of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 was a significant risk factor of atherosclerosis and independently predicted future recurrent cardiovascular events in familial hypercholesterolemia patients receiving standard lipid-lowering treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between high-density lipoprotein subfractions and low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome components: The ELSA-Brasil study.
Giuliano Generoso,Isabela M. Benseñor,Raul D. Santos,Itamar S. Santos,Alessandra C. Goulart,Steven R. Jones,Krishnaji R. Kulkarni,Michael J. Blaha,Peter P. Toth,Paulo A. Lotufo,Márcio Sommer Bittencourt +10 more
TL;DR: HDL-C and its subfractions are inversely associated with the defining features of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation, and the HDL2-C/HDL3-C ratio measured by vertical auto profile is significantlyassociated with the former factors even after comprehensive adjustment for HDL-C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does physical activity influence the association between depressive symptoms and low-grade inflammation in adults? A study of 8,048 adults.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether physical activity (PA) influences the association between depression risk and low-grade inflammation and found that physical activity may reduce the associations between depression symptoms and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP).
