| | Consensus Statement: Triglyceride, High Density Lipoprotein, And Coronary Heart Disease |
 | | Low HDL cholesterol was entered in the treatment decision algorithm as one of the major risk factors that would affect the assessment of overall coronary risk and therefore influence clinical decisions about treatment. | | | The report noted the possible benefit of raising HDL concomitant with reducing elevated LDL; however, drug therapy was not advocated specifically to raise HDL cholesterol in patients without high LDL cholesterol levels. | | | A number of studies have been performed that have examined the relationship of HDL levels and the incidence of coronary heart disease. |

| | Previous reports have demonstrated that enhanced lipolysis of tiiglyceride-rich lipoproteins results in an increase in HDL cholesterol; therefore, a precursor-product relationship exists between the two (8,15). | | | Diabetic rats showed changes in plasma lipids (Table 2) that were very similar to those seen in the former experiments. | | | HTGL is thought to mediate the catabolism of remnant lipoproteins by the liver (16). |

| | In subjects with a deficiency of CETP, the conversion of HDL to very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) is blocked, leading to delayed catabolism of HDL CE, with consequent marked increases in the concentrations of HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein A-I. Slide 20 of 27 | | | Elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is epidemiologically associated with a decreased risk of coronary artery disease. | | | Tangier disease is probably associated with some increased risk of premature atherosclerotic vascular disease, but this risk does not seem to be proportional to the markedly decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) levels. |

| | OBJECTIVE: The inverse relationship between adiposity and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is well established, however, we believe that its usual representation lacks an important dimension. | | | CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the lipoprotein concentrations of runners are in part dependent upon whether the current weight is relatively high or low within the historical range of weights experienced by the individual. | | | The purpose of this study is to test whether the relationship depends upon past weight history in addition to current weight. |
