... Abstract Cardiometabolic risk factors like abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, and hypertension are defined as metabolic syndrome (MetS), which represents one of the most frequent endocrine disorders particularly in a society...

... and highly prevalent. Predominant observation is an elevation of LDL cholesterol in all PCOS patients. Decreased concentrations of HDL cholesterol are found in obese PCOS from the third decade of life onwards while triglycerides start to rise from the second decade of life. PCOS is associated with oxidative...

.... This mixed dyslipidemia (or ‘lipid quartet’) - hypertriglyceridemia, low highdensitylipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels, a preponderance of small, dense LDL particles andan accumulation of cholesterol-rich remnant particles - emerged as the greatest ‘competitor’ ofLDL-cholesterol among lipid risk factors...

... the Friedewald formula: LDL cholesterol (mg/dl) = total cholesterol (mg/dl) - HDL cholesterol (mg/dl) - [triglycerides (mg/dl) × 0.2]. (Cholesterol in mg/dl is converted into mmol/l by multiplication with 0.0259.) Increased plasma levels (>30 mg/dl) of lipoprotein(a), an LDL particle with added apoprotein...

... and resistin with increased insulin resistance. Several studies relate higher blood pressures to decreased adiponectin, increased TNF-α, and CRP concentrations. The only lipids associated with the cytokines appear to be triglycerides and HDL cholesterol. Higher levels of habitual physical activity...

... one criterion for the syndrome. Compared with the NHANES sample, MDD patients were more likely to have elevated glucose (p < 0.001), decreased HDL cholesterol (p < 0.001), at least one ATP-III criterion present (p < 0.001), and the full syndrome (i.e. at least three ATP-III criteria) (p...

... of coronary heart disease [ 9 ], but these associations in most studies disappear after controlling for HDL and LDL (or non-HDL) cholesterol [ 10 ]. But are adjustments for HDL and LDL cholesterol justified? Because of the limited understanding of the relevant biological pathways, decisions and interpretation...

.../dL ) = total cholesterol ( mg/dL ) – HDL cholesterol ( mg/dL ) – [ triglycerides ( mg/dL ) × 0.2]. Cholesterol in mg/dL is converted into mmol/L by multiplication by 0.0259. Increased plasma levels (>30 mg/dL) of lipoprotein(a), an LDL particle with added apoprotein...

... complication of the animal studies is that most animal species have high-density lipoprotein (HDL) as the major plasma cholesterol carrier as compared with humans where low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol constitutes some 65% of the plasma cholesterol. In addition, few animal species have comparable...

... cholesterol response to endurance training is likewise quite different from resistance training. It is generally accepted that acute, endurance type exercise elevates HDL cholesterol after exercise, an effect that may persist for 48-72 h [ 3 ]. Effects on total cholesterol (TC) and LDL cholesterol are more...
