Biological activities of HDL subpopulations and their relevance to cardiovascular disease.

TLDR
This review describes major HDL subpopulations and discusses new findings on the antiatherogenic properties of HDL particles, with the potential to reveal novel biomarkers of cardiovascular risk and new pharmacological targets.

Major lipids, apolipoproteins, and risk of vascular disease

TL;DR: Lid assessment in vascular disease can be simplified by measurement of either total and HDL cholesterol levels or apolipoproteins without the need to fast and without regard to triglyceride.

Cholesterol efflux capacity, high-density lipoprotein function, and atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Cholesterol efflux capacity from macrophages, a metric of HDL function, has a strong inverse association with both carotid intima-media thickness and the likelihood of angiographic coronary artery disease, independently of the HDL cholesterol level.

High Density Lipoproteins and Arteriosclerosis: Role of Cholesterol Efflux and Reverse Cholesterol Transport

TL;DR: High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease, and HDL exerts various potentially antiatherogenic properties, including the mediation of reverse transport of cholesterol from cells of the arterial wall to the liver and steroidogenic organs.
