 | | This slide compares the effects of fenofibrate therapy on levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and total triglyceride (Total-TG) in the two patient groups. | | | This slide presents treatment effects on lipoprotein levels (mean percent change from baseline). | | | In a 12-week, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, Morgan and colleagues compared two extended-release niacin regimens (1,000 mg/d and 2,000 mg/d) with placebo in 96 evaluable patients with primary dyslipidemia (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] > 160 mg/dL and triglyceride [TG] < 800 mg/dL). |

| | In those with heart disease or at very high risk, LDL should be less than 100 and, ''better still, under 70," said Dr. Daniel Levy, director of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Framingham Heart Study. | | | Still, to assess your overall risk of heart disease, doctors also need to know your age, sex, smoking history, blood pressure, family history of heart disease, whether you have diabetes, and how much you exercise. | | | So, if your total cholesterol were, say, 208 and your HDL were 100, by mathematics alone, that suggests your LDL is admirably low, said Dr. Zoran Nedeljkovic, an interventional cardiologist at Boston Medical Center. |

| | very-low-density lipoprotein, (VLDL) a class of lipoproteins that transport triglycerides from the intestine and liver to adipose and muscle tissues. | | | Serum HDL cholesterol has been negatively correlated with premature coronary heart disease. | | | Synthesized by the liver, they contain primarily triglycerides in their lipid cores, with some cholesteryl esters; as their triglycerides are cleaved by endothelial lipoprotein lipase and transferred to extrahepatic tissues, the VLDL particles lose most of their apolipoprotein C and become intermediate-density lipoproteins. |
