...Jennifer C. Kelley; Iris Gutmark-Little; Philippe Backeljauw; Vaneeta Bamba Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is a convenient measure of atherogenicity (normal concentration <120...

... risk factors as a trigger. Once high-risk individuals are identified, primary treatment is lifestyle modification. In cases where low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol is high, pharmacologic intervention may be needed. Conclusions: Screening of appropriate children and adolescents for dyslipidemia...

... in the interconversion of these lipoproteins. In experimental models such as transgenic mice, CETP activity decreases HDL cholesterol and increases the cholesteryl ester content of apo B-containing lipoproteins. In humans, CETP activity and concentration are positively correlated with VLDL-LDL cholesterol. Clinical...

... resistance in childhood obesity. The inverse relationship between insulin sensitivity and weight loss during calorie restriction in these subjects suggests that insulin resistance may enhance weight loss during calorie restriction.

... to an increase in phospholipids and glycerides in the case of OE and P groups. Even though the total cholesterol remained unaltered, a marked alteration in its fractions was evident in all the groups. Oestrogen seems to decrease all the glyceride classes while progesterone induces accumulation of triglycerides...

...Gene B. Fuller; Robert O. Wilson Cholesterol and cholesterol esters were measured on day 90 in the plasma and aortas of rats treated on day 4 as follows: control, gonadectomy, testosterone propionate (TP), estradiol-17 β (E). Sex differences were observed in sterol concentrations of control animals...

...P.F. Williams; L.A. Simons; J.R. Turtle Plasma cholesterol, triglyceride and apolipoprotein-B were measured in healthy women during pregnancy. Hyperlipidaemia was most marked in the third trimester of pregnancy, but the increases in cholesterol, triglyceride and apolipoprotein-B were not identical...

...: Total cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) showed moderate but significant decreases from baseline. Low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations as well as triglyceride and apolipoprotein B levels became lower, but these changes were not statistically significant. Among...
