Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Influences High-Density Lipoprotein Levels and Survival in Sepsis

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
A rare missense variant in CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein gene; rs1800777‐A) that was associated with significant reductions in HDL‐C levels during sepsis is identified, identifying CETP as a critical regulator of HDL levels and clinical outcomes duringSepsis.
Abstract
Rationale: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) levels decline during sepsis, and lower levels are associated with worse survival. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying changes i...

Low HDL and high triglycerides predict COVID-19 severity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association of the plasma lipid profile with SARS-CoV-2 infection clinical evolution and found that low HDL cholesterol and high triglyceride concentrations measured before or during hospitalization are strong predictors of a severe course of the disease.

High-density lipoproteins during sepsis: from bench to bedside

TL;DR: Clinical and experimental studies reinforce the potential of HDL therapy in human sepsis and detail the different effects of HDLs that may be relevant under inflammatory conditions and the lipoprotein changes during sepsi.

Causal Inference for Genetically Determined Levels of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Risk of Infectious Disease.

TL;DR: This research presents a novel probabilistic approach that allows us to assess the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals.

Plasma HDL cholesterol and risk of myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomisation study

Benjamin F. Voight, +140 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a Mendelian randomisation analysis was performed to compare the effect of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and genetic score on risk of myocardial infarction.
