 | | Lipoprotein and Coronary Atherosclerosis Study (LCAS): Benefit of Statin Therapy in Patients With Low HDL-C | | | This slide compares the mean percent changes in lipid values (versus baseline) after 1 year of treatment with gemfibrozil or placebo in the Lopid Coronary Angiography Trial (LOCAT). | | | The treatment effect of fluvastatin on MLD change, calculated as the difference between MLD change in fluvastatin and placebo patients, was significantly greater among low-HDL-C patients than among higher-HDL-C patients (P = 0.01), as assessed by the interaction of treatment and HDL-C category. |

| | The published data is yet inadequate to determine how such measurements should guide treatment decisions and whether these treatment decisions result in beneficial outcomes. | | | Moreover, improved ability to predict risk and/or treatment response does not by itself result in better health outcomes. | | | Other associated lipid parameters, such as triglycerides and HDL levels may be more useful than LDL size in assessing risk and treatment response. |

| | Low density lipoprotein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The correspondence between Pattern B and CHD has been suggested by some in the medical community to be stronger than the correspondence between the LDL number measured in the standard lipid profile test. | | | Because LDL transports cholesterol to the arteries, increased levels are associated with atherosclerosis, and thus myocardial infarctions, strokes and peripheral vascular disease. | | | With the decreasing cost, greater availability, wider acceptance and research use of other lipoprotein assay methods, especially NMR spectroscopy, ongoing research studies have shown the strongest correlation between human clinically obvious cardiovascular event rates has been with quantitatively measured particle concentrations, more so than particle size and particle cholesterol/lipid content. |

| | Flavonoids and the Oxidation of Low-Density Lipoprotein |
| | Residual confounding may therefore be a major problem in these epidemiologic studies. | | | LDL oxidized locally in atherosclerotic lesions may be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.1 Oxidized LDL is endocytosed rapidly by macrophages, activates proinflammatory genes, induces apoptosis, and has many other potentially atherogenic effects. | | | Higher concentrations of flavonoids are antioxidant, however, to both nonoxidized and mildly oxidized LDL. |

| | Researchers noted that 87 subjects started with predominantly large buoyant LDL (pattern A, which may decrease the risk of heart disease);18 subjects had smaller, denser LDL (high-risk pattern B). | | | Pattern B is associated with increased risk of heart disease compared to individuals with high levels of larger, buoyant LDL (pattern A), which is associated with lower risk of heart disease. | | | On the low-fat diet, 36 of the 87 subjects showed a change from pattern A to pattern B. In both those who remained pattern A (51 subjects) and those individuals who changed to pattern B, there was a shift in LDL-particle size from pattern A to pattern B when consuming a low-fat diet. |

| | very-low-density lipoprotein, (VLDL) a class of lipoproteins that transport triglycerides from the intestine and liver to adipose and muscle tissues. | | | It is formed in the circulation when very-low-density lipoproteins are degraded first to intermediate-density lipoproteins and then to LDL by the gain and loss of specific apolipoproteins and the loss of most of their triglycerides. | | | Serum HDL cholesterol has been negatively correlated with premature coronary heart disease. |

Activation of PPAR[Gamma] may attenuate the atherosclerotic process by inhibition of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation, by inhibition of proinflammatory activity of macrophages, or by improvement in circulating lipids. | | | On the other hand, activation of PPAR[Gamma] may stimulate conversion of macrophages into foam cells which would promote atherosclerosis. | | | All inquiries regarding rights should be directed to the Gale Group. |
