TY - JOUR. T1 - T helper-cell phenotype regulates atherosclerosis in mice under conditions of mild hypercholesterolemia. AU - Huber, Sally Ann. AU - Sakkinen, P.. AU - David, C.. AU - Newell, M. K.. AU - Tracy, R. P.. PY - 2001/5/29. Y1 - 2001/5/29. N2 - Background - T cells are implicated in atherosclerosis, but little is known about the genetic control or molecular pathways, especially under conditions of mild hypercholesterolemia. Methods and Results - BALB/c mice, making a CD4+ Th2 (IL-4+) cell response, express both MHC class II antigens (IAd, IEd) and are atherosclerosis-resistant. C57B1/6 mice produce a CD4+ Th1 (interferon [IFN]γ+) response, express IAb but no IE, and are atherosclerosis-prone. To evaluate T helper-cell phenotype in fatty streak formation, wild-type C57B1/6 mice (IAb+IE-) and transgenic mice, either ABo, IAb-IE-; ABEα, IA-IEk+; or B1.Tg.Eα, IAb+IEk+, were fed a high-cholesterol diet for 16 weeks and evaluated histomorphometrically for aortic lesions. Lesion size in ...

The present study demonstrates that pathogenic events in fetal arteries associated with maternal hypercholesterolemia are capable of enhancing the susceptibility to atherosclerosis later in life, and that cholesterol-lowering interventions or antioxidant treatment of hypercholesterolemic mothers during pregnancy have long-term beneficial effects in their offspring.. As previously demonstrated in the same rabbit model,13 diet-induced maternal hypercholesterolemia during pregnancy markedly increased fatty streak formation during fetal development, whereas maternal treatment with vitamin E or cholestyramine significantly reduced lesion sizes in their offspring, compared with untreated mothers. In the present study, a higher dose of vitamin E (1000 IU) was used than in the preceding one (100 IU). This yielded a greater reduction of lesion sizes and intimal content in lipid peroxidation products at birth. After weaning and five months on the mildly hypercholesterolemic diet, lesion sizes in aortic ...

Autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH) is a rare disorder characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) serum levels, xanthomatosis, and premature coronary artery disease. Several dyslipidemias have been identified which lead to severe primary hypercholesterolemia. Among them, ARH is characterized by clinical symptoms and plasma cholesterol levels intermediate between those found in heterozygous and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) [DS:H00155] individuals. ARH patients develop symptomatic coronary artery disease later in life and their xanthomas tend to be large and bulky. In 2001, ARH was found to be caused by mutations in the LDL receptor adaptor protein 1 (LDLRAP1). In ARH, the internalization of the ligand-receptor complex cannot occur and all the LDL receptors accumulate on the cell membrane. In general, ARH patients show a better response to lipid-lowering therapy than the FH patients, and they rarely require LDL apheresis ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Resistance to diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and gallstone formation in ACAT2-deficient mice. AU - Buhman, Kimberly K.. AU - Accad, Michel. AU - Novak, Sabine. AU - Choi, Rebekah S.. AU - Wong, Jinny S.. AU - Hamilton, Robert L.. AU - Turley, Stephen. AU - Farese, Robert V.. PY - 2000/12/1. Y1 - 2000/12/1. N2 - The importance of cholesterol ester synthesis by acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) enzymes in intestinal and hepatic cholesterol metabolism has been unclear. We now demonstrate that ACAT2 is the major ACAT in mouse small intestine and liver, and suggest that ACAT2 deficiency has profound effects on cholesterol metabolism in mice fed a cholesterol-rich diet, including complete resistance to diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and cholesterol gallstone formation. The underlying mechanism involves the lack of cholesterol ester synthesis in the intestine and a resultant reduced capacity to absorb cholesterol. Our results indicate that ACAT2 has an important role in ...

The current study investigated the effects of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia on the severity of sequelae related to traumatic brain injury. Existing data of 209 participants was utilized from an urban hospital, which included neuropsychological evaluations following traumatic brain injury. Specific areas examined included measures of executive functioning, both immediate and delayed memory, and learning. Each participant was placed into a group based on the number of documented diagnoses (hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension). The control group consisted of patients that did not carry a record of these health risks. Each of these groups was further stratified according to age. An interaction between the variables of health risk factors and neuropsychological assessment results was predicted specified by decreasing standard scores with the increase in number of health risk factors. Furthermore, age was hypothesized to be a main effect, with the prediction of a

Low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) may constitute an independent risk factor that may be as important as elevated low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) in coronary artery disease (CAD). Concentrations and distributions of lipids, apolipoprotein (apo) B, and apoA-I in the plasma and lipoprotein subfractions of two groups of swine, one with familial hypercholesterolemia (FHC) and the other with diet-induced hypercholesterolemia (DHC), were examined. Normolipidemic (NL) animals served as controls. All pigs carried the Lpb5 apoB mutation, which is known to influence the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. Mean concentrations of serum total cholesterol in NL, DHC, and FHC were 80.0 +/- 9.3, 774.3 +/- 54.5, and 316.5 +/- 36.1 mg/dL, respectively; HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), 33.5 +/- 1.9, 137.0 +/- 9.9, and 22.3 +/- 2.2 mg/dL; triglycerides, 33.0 +/- 16.3, 40.3 +/- 11.7, and 56.8 +/- 7.2 mg/dL; apoB, 35.7 +/- 3.1, 142.0 +/- 4.8, and 169.3 +/- 13.9 mg/dL; and apoA-I, 62.4 +/- 9.3, 170.9 +/- 6.9, ...

Hypercholesterolemia: High blood cholesterol. This can be sporadic with no family history) or familial. Familial hypercholesterolemia is the most common inherited type of hyperlipidemia (high lipid levels in blood). It predisposes to premature arteriosclerosis including coronary artery disease with heart attacks at an unusually young age. About half of men and a third of women suffer a heart attack by age 60. Persons with familial hypercholesterolemia can reduce their risk by adhering to a very low cholesterol diet under a doctors supervision, and may also need to take medications that reduce their cholesterol level. Familial hypercholesterolemia is recognizable in childhood. Children and other relatives at risk for familial hypercholesterolemia can be screened (checked) for the condition. Familial hypercholesterolemia is due to a geneticdefect in the receptor (the dock on the surface of cells) for LDL (low density lipoprotein). ...

CYP7A1 encodes the rate limiting enzyme for the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Several studies have demonstrated that elevated expression of CYP7A1 confers protection from hypercholesterolemia. CYP7A1 expression is regulated by two nuclear receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer (SHP). Here we demonstrate that although FXR−/ − and SHP−/ − mice have similarly elevated levels of CYP7A1, FXR−/ − mice have elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and serum markers of hepatic inflammation whereas the SHP−/ − mice do not. This suggestion of a beneficial lipid effect of the loss of SHP was confirmed in a cholesterol/cholic acid diet model, in which SHP−/ − mice were strongly protected form diet-induced hypercholesterolemia and hepatic inflammation. To examine the effects of the loss of SHP in a model relevant to human dyslipidemia, we generated LDLR−/ −SHP−/ − mice. The LDLR−/ −SHP−/ − mice were highly resistant to Western ...

METHODS AND RESULTS Normal or hypercholesterolemic rabbits received intravenous L-arginine (10 mg/kg/min) or vehicle for 70 minutes. Subsequently, animals were killed, thoracic aortas were harvested, and vascular rings were studied in vitro. Rings were contracted by norepinephrine and relaxed by acetylcholine chloride or sodium nitroprusside. Vasorelaxation was quantified by determining the maximal response (expressed as percent relaxation of the contraction) and the ED50 (dose of drug inducing 50% relaxation; expressed as -log M). In vessels from hypercholesterolemic animals receiving vehicle, there was a fivefold rightward shift in sensitivity to acetylcholine compared with normal animals (p = 0.05, n = 5 in each group). In vessels from hypercholesterolemic animals, L-arginine augmented the maximal response to acetylcholine (83 +/- 16% versus 60 +/- 15%, p = 0.04 versus vehicle) and increased the sensitivity to acetylcholine (ED50 value: 6.7 +/- 0.2 versus 6.2 +/- 0.2, p less than 0.05 versus ...

Hypercholesterolemia is common in older adults and less treated, but little is known about correlates of untreated hypercholesterolemia. Using a standard interview method we examined a random sample of 7,572 participants aged 60 years in a community-based household survey across 7 provinces of China during 2007-2012, and documented 328 cases of hypercholesterolemia from self-reported doctor diagnosis. Compared to participants with normal cholesterol, older adults with hypercholesterolemia had higher socioeconomic position and larger body mass index. In patients with hypercholesterolemia, 209 were not treated using lipid-lowering medications (63.7%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 58.5%- 68.9%). Untreated hypercholesterolemia was significantly associated with female sex (adjusted odds ratio 2.13, 95%CI 1.17-3.89), current smoking (3.48, 1.44-8.44), heavy alcohol drinking (3.13,1.11-8.84), chronic bronchitis (2.37,1.14-4.90) and high level of meat consumptions (2.85,1.22-6.65).

TY - JOUR. T1 - Altered myocardial microvascular 3D architecture in experimental hypercholesterolemia. AU - Rodriguez-Porcel, Martin. AU - Lerman, Amir. AU - Ritman, Erik L.. AU - Wilson, Stephanie H.. AU - Best, Patricia J.M.. AU - Lerman, Lilach O.. PY - 2000/10/24. Y1 - 2000/10/24. N2 - Background - Experimental hypercholesterolemia (HC) impairs intramyocardial microvascular function. However, whether this is associated with alterations in microvascular architecture remained unknown. Using a novel 3D micro-CT scanner, we tested the hypothesis that HC is associated with an alteration in the microvascular architecture. Methods and Results - Pigs were euthanized after 12 weeks of either normal (n=6) or 2% HC (n=6) diet. The hearts were excised and the coronary arteries injected with a radiopaque contrast material. Myocardial samples were scanned with micro-CT, and 3D images were reconstructed with 21-μm cubic voxels. The myocardium was tomographically subdivided into subepicardium and ...

We investigated whether primary hypercholesterolaemia per se affects glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion in low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice (LDLR(-/-)). Glucose plasma levels were increased and insulin decreased in LDLR(-/-) compared to the wild-type mice. LDLR(-/-) mice presented impaired glucose tolerance, but normal whole body insulin sensitivity. The dose-response curve of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was shifted to the right in LDLR(-/-) islets. Significant reductions in insulin secretion in response to L-leucine or 2-ketoisocaproic acid were also observed in LDLR(-/-). Islet morphometric parameters, total insulin and DNA content were similar in both groups. Glucose uptake and oxidation were reduced in LDLR(-/-) islets. Removal of cholesterol from LDLR(-/-) islets corrected glucos-estimulated insulin secretion. These results indicate that enhanced membrane cholesterol content due to hypercholesterolaemia leads to a lower insulin secretion and glucose intolerance ...

P8 We have studied the effect of valsartan treatment (3 and 10 mg/kg/day) on plasma fibrinolytic balance in normo- and hypercholesterolemic rabbits. Animals were fed a normal chow or an experimental diet containing 1% cholesterol for 10 weeks. Systolic blood pressure, as well as plasma cholesterol, dimer D, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) were measured. Plasma cholesterol concentrations were higher in rabbits fed the experimental diet compared with control ones. None of the doses of valsartan were able to affect either plasma cholesterol or blood pressure levels in any group.As compared with control animals hypercholesterolemic rabbits presented lower dimer D (0.37±0.07 mg/ml vs 0.96±0.13, p,0.05) and tPA levels (0.27±0.003 ng/ml vs 0.31±0.007, p,0.05) but higher PAI-1 levels (11.1±0.9 ng/ml vs 8.84±0.04, p,0.05). In cholesterol-fed rabbits, valsartan treatment (3 or 10 mg/kg/day) significantly increased both dimer D (0.73±0.1 mg/ml and, ...

During homeostasis hematopoietic stem and progenitor stem cells (HSPCs) give rise to lymphoid and myeloid cells as well as platelets and erythrocytes. However, during chronic inflammatory conditions hematopoiesis is often skewed towards the myeloid lineage, thereby potentially aggravating the ongoing inflammation. Here we investigated the effects of hypercholesterolemia on HSPCs during atherogenesis.. Hypercholesterolemia increased HSPCs, defined as Lin-Sca1+cKit-, in the bone marrow (BM) of LDLr-/- mice by 253.1%. The number of granulocyte-monocyte progenitors, BM granulocytes and BM monocytes was increased by 18.1%, 34.8% and 13.2%, respectively. In accordance, the myeloid colony forming potential of hypercholesterolemic BM was increased by 25.8%. Peripheral blood monocytes and granulocytes were increased by 203.0% and 161.1%, respectively.. Competitive bone marrow transplantations (cBMT) in which we compared the effects of normo- vs. hypercholesterolemia primed HSPCs confirmed that the ...

Evidence-based recommendations on evolocumab (Repatha) for treating primary hypercholesterolaemia (high cholesterol) and mixed dyslipidaemia

Hypo and hypercholesterolemic rats strains were selected (Lyon) and compared to a normocholesterolemic one issued from the same race (Sprague-Dawley). The arterial tissue of these three strains at three ages (10-19-25 months) and their reactivity to an hyperlipidic diet (2 and 6 month duration) were studied using histological and histochemical technics. There were neither histological nor histochemical differences between the three strains whatever the ages. Therefore, at the present stage of selection, the genetic differences have not changed the arterial metabolism or its evolution during ageing. However the arterial reactivity of hypo and hypercholesterolemic strains towards an hyperlipidic diet was different: indeed both strains developed hypercholesterolemia, liver steatosis and diffuse intimal lipoidosis, but on the other hand the hypercholesterolemic rat alone demonstrated arterial cell proliferation. These data suggest that a same genetic trait can give rise to both a spontaneous

Behavioral and psychosocial factors have been shown to influence cardiovascular disease. While interventions targeting these risk factors demonstrate clinical improvement, mechanisms underlying these effects remain to be determined. Research has also defined a relationship between psychosocial stress and immune function, and revealed stress related increases in lymphatic sympathetic nerve density. Considering that inflammation characterizes the various stages of heart disease, the current study assessed whether social stress could influence vascular sympathetic innervation in the presence or absence of hypercholesterolemia. We found dense sympathetic innervation extending into the vascular media and intima throughout the aortic arch and thorax in diseased as well as non-diseased animals. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of extensive sympathetic innervation in all layers of normal vessels. Compared to NZW animals, WHHL rabbits displayed increased sympathetic innervation and a

The role of the endothelium was examined in the response to aggregating platelets in cerebral arteries from normal and hypercholesterolemic animals. Male Yorkshire pigs were fed either a normal diet or a 2% high-cholesterol diet for 10 weeks. Endothelium-dependent responses were examined in vitro. In rings of basilar arteries from control animals aggregating platelets caused endothelium-dependent relaxations, which were significantly inhibited by apyrase, an adenosine diphosphatase and triphosphatase, but were augmented by methiothepin, a combined S1- and S2-serotonergic blocker. In quiescent rings platelets induced contractions that were inhibited by the presence of the endothelium; these contractions were significantly inhibited by methiothepin, but not by ketanserin (an S2-serotonergic blocker) or dazoxiben (a thromboxane-synthetase blocker) in the presence or absence of SQ29548 (a thromboxane-receptor blocker). Adenosine diphosphate but not serotonin caused endothelium-dependent relaxations. ...

High blood cholesterol is a leading risk factor in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD) (1,2). The risks associated with high blood cholesterol can be reduced by screening and early intervention (3). Current clinical practice guidelines provide evidenced-based standards for detection, treatment, and control of high blood cholesterol (4). Healthy People 2020 monitors national progress related to screening and controlling high blood cholesterol through the National Health Interview Survey and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). State-level estimates of self-reported cholesterol screening and high blood cholesterol prevalence are available using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data. To assess recent trends in the percentage of adults aged ≥18 years who had been screened for high blood cholesterol during the preceding 5 years, and the percentage among those who had been screened within the previous 5 years and who were ...

The effect of lovastatin on serum lipids and its tolerability in patients with non-familial primary hypercholesterolemia (type II-A and type II-B) during a six-month period were evaluated in this open-label study. Thirty-eight patients were enrolled in the study; tolerability was assessed in all 38 patients. Thirty patients completed the study, and the effect of lovastatin on serum lipids in these patients was assessed. Some patients had been treated for hypercholesterolemia with long-term dietary and other non-pharmacologic means before entry into the study. All patients were unresponsive to a six-week program of intensive dietary therapy and other nonpharmacologic treatment to lower their blood cholesterol levels before receiving lovastatin. While maintaining intensive dietary therapy, administration of lovastatin was instituted at a dosage of 20 mg/day, which was increased by 20-mg increments monthly, as necessary, to a maximum of 80 mg/day. In an effort to achieve goal levels of low-density ...

High blood cholesterol increases your risk of cardiovascular complications such as a heart attack or stroke. Your doctor may periodically evaluate your risk for these complications by using a calculator such as the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Estimator. This calculator estimates your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years. It considers your total and good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, age, and systolic blood pressure. It also factors in whether you have diabetes, smoke, or use medicines to control high blood pressure. Your doctor will consider how unhealthy your blood cholesterol levels are and your 10-year risk calculation when deciding how best to treat your high blood cholesterol and to manage your risk of cardiovascular complications. Your doctor may recommend aspirin to prevent a first heart attack or stroke.. Keep in mind that this 10-year cardiovascular risk calculator may not accurately estimate risk in certain situations, such as ...

The CDCs National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey results1 highlight recent trends associated with cholesterol-lowering medications. Among adults in the US aged 40 and over during 2003-2012, the percentage using a cholesterol-lowering medication in the past 30 days increased from 20% to 28%. Statin use overall increased from 18% to 26%, and by 2011-2012, 93% of adults who were using a cholesterol-lowering medication used a statin. The use of cholesterol-lowering medications increased with age, with 17% of adults aged 40-59 and 48% of adults aged 75 and over taking them. Cholesterol-lowering medications were used by approximately 71% of adults with cardiovascular disease and 54% of adults with hypercholesterolemia. Use of cholesterol-lowering medications was more prevalent among adults aged 40-64 with health insurance than those without it. Of prescription cholesterol-lowering medications, the most commonly used product was simvastatin, with 42% reporting its use. Following this was ...

Pictured Recipe: Avocado Pesto. A. It depends. Most people absorb about half the cholesterol they consume through foods, but absorption rates vary (from 20 to 60 percent) from person to person. This variation may help explain why dietary cholesterol seems to increase levels of unhealthy LDL blood cholesterol in some people more than others, says EatingWell advisor Alice Lichtenstein.. In any case, saturated and trans fats have a bigger detrimental effect on blood cholesterol levels, and heart health in general, than dietary cholesterol does. Trans and saturated fats not only affect how much plaque is deposited in blood vessels, but also may damage the tissue of blood vessels, says Susan Moores, M.S., R.D., a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. With a few exceptions-notably eggs and shellfish-foods high in cholesterol, such as fatty meats and whole-milk dairy, also tend to be high in saturated fat. Cutting back on sources of saturated fat automatically limits intake of dietary ...

On the 8th October our Scientific & Medical Manager, Dr Marta Carrera, attended as a key speaker at the Spanish Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) Foundation Conference presenting the Utility of genetics in the clinical and therapeutic management of FH. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common genetic condition globally. FH causes high cholesterol and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart attack. However, 90% of patients born with FH are undiagnosed.. The Fundación Hipercolesterolemia Familiar (FHF) is a Spanish nationwide organisation, created to raise awareness of genetic induced high cholesterol, and the need to promote early detection in families, as well as treatment and control to prevent cardiovascular mortality in people with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH).. The FHF results from the combined effort of patients and health care professionals giving their knowledge, support, commitment and dedication to raise FH awareness. The FHF relies on experts, both ...

What is High Blood Cholesterol?. As the name suggests, High Blood Cholesterol refers to a condition characterized by a high level of cholesterol in the bloodstream. Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the walls or membranes of cells. It is carried in the blood in small packages known as lipoproteins. These lipoproteins are of two types, namely Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). The risk of developing heart problems increases with an increase in the level of LDL.. On the other hand, High Density Lipoprotein is considered good as it helps in carrying the cholesterol to the liver from where it can be easily removed. Hence, an increase in the level of HDL is favorable as it decreases the risk of potential heart problems and diseases.. When cholesterol builds up along the walls of arteries, it increases the probability of developing heart diseases. In case the accumulated cholesterol or plaque bursts, it releases the cholesterol and fat content in the blood. As ...

The effects of age, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia on vascular function of the coronary circulation were studied by subselective intracoronary infusions of acetylcholine, which releases endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and papaverine, which directly relaxes vascular smooth muscle, in normal patients (n = 18; no risk factors for coronary artery disease), in patients with evidence of early atherosclerosis but normal cholesterol levels and normal blood pressure (n = 12), in patients with hypertension without left ventricular hypertrophy (n = 12), and in patients with hypercholesterolemia (n = 20). Papaverine-induced maximal increases in coronary blood flow were significantly greater in normals, but no differences were noted between the groups of patients with early atherosclerosis, with hypertension, and with hypercholesterolemia. The capacity of the coronary system to increase blood flow in response to acetylcholine was similar in normal and normocholesterolemic ...

The current study examined the attenuating influence of dietary carrot pomace powder (CaPP) on hypercholesterolemia and various oxidative stress-associated with biochemical parameters in hypercholesterolemic rats. Thirty two male albino rats weighing 110±10 g were divided into four groups, the first group received the basal diet only and served as (negative control), the second group received the hypercholesterolemic diet and served as positive control, the other groups received hypercholesterolemic diet supplemented with 10%, 20% CaPP for six weeks. The obtained results revealed that groups supplemented with 10% and 20% CaPP significantly decrease total lipid, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, liver enzymes: alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase compared to positive and negative groups. Organs weight, body weight gain significantly decreased compared with positive control. Moreover dietary carrot pomace powder can used to reduce the body ...

Swiss drug major Novartis AG (NVS) announced Friday that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion and recommended granting marketing authorization of Leqvio (inclisiran) for the treatment of adults with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia..

We all know that dietary saturated fat is bad because it raises blood cholesterol levels, right?. Well, maybe. When we get lipid tests like LDL, HDL, and so forth, they draw blood and then measure these things in the blood. They dont measure them inside the cells, or in the cell membranes. And a new study suggests that high blood cholesterol might simply reflect the membranes need for cholesterol.. Unsaturated fats make membranes more fluid; saturated fats and cholesterol stiffen membranes. What we need is a balance between the two states, and the body is usually pretty good at knowing what we need.. The new theory suggests that when we eat saturated fats instead of unsaturated fats, the membranes dont need a lot of cholesterol to prevent the membranes from being too fluid, so they dont take the cholesterol out of the blood, and hence blood cholesterol levels are higher.. In other words, blood cholesterol levels can fluctuate according to how much cholesterol is needed in membranes. The ...

The theory that iron may play a significant role in atherogenesis by promoting the formation of free radicals is controversial. Previous results using the new technique of nuclear microscopy showed a seven-fold increase in iron concentrations within newly formed atherosclerotic lesions in hypercholesterolemic rabbits compared to healthy artery tissue. In a follow- up time sequence study described here, we show that iron accumulation occurs at the onset of lesion formation. In addition, weekly bleeding decreases the iron uptake into the artery wall and delays the onset of atherogenesis. These results provide direct evidence for a key role of iron in initiating atherogenesis ...

Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by your liver. Its also found in foods high in saturated fat, such as meat, eggs, some shellfish, and whole-milk dairy products.. Your cells need some cholesterol to functional normally. But too much cholesterol in your blood can be harmful. High blood cholesterol levels can cause fatty deposits to build up on the walls of your arteries. This condition is known as atherosclerosis (sometimes called hardening of the arteries). Over time, the fatty deposits can decrease the amount of blood flowing in the arteries and eventually block blood flow entirely. This narrowing of the arteries can lead to heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. People who are overweight, eat a lot of foods high in saturated fat, or who have a family history of high cholesterol have an increased risk of high cholesterol levels. There are few symptoms of high cholesterol levels and a blood test is almost always needed to confirm it.. There are two kinds of cholesterol:. ...

In a new study, NYU Langone Medical Center researchers have discovered how cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins promote the breakdown of plaque in the arteries. The study was published online by the journal PLoS One on December 6, 2011.. The findings support a large clinical study that recently showed patients taking high-doses of the cholesterol-lowering medications not only reduced their cholesterol levels but also reduced the amount of plaque in their arteries. However, until now researchers did not fully understand how statins could reduce atherosclerosis, the accumulation of fat and cholesterol that hardens into plaque in arteries, a major cause of mortality in Western countries. High blood cholesterol is a major culprit in atherosclerosis. As a result of narrowing arteries, blood clots can form or plaque can break off causing blockages in vessels. This can lead to a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke.. Our new research shows statins actually promote the regression of ...

50 APPENDIX A CHOLESTEROL HANDOUT High Blood Cholesterol What you need to know US Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (June, 2005) Why Is Cholesterol Important? Your blood cholesterol level has a lot to do with your chances of getting heart disease. High blood cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. A risk factor is a condition that increases your chance of getting a disease. In fact, the higher your blood cholesterol level, the greater your risk for developing heart disease or having a h eart attack. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States. Each year, more than a million Americans have heart attacks, and about a half million people die from heart disease. How Does Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease? When there is too much cholesterol (a fat like substance) in your blood, it builds up in the walls of narrowed and blood flow to the heart is slowed down or b locked. The blood carries oxygen to the heart, ...

Several studies have shown that elevated plasma cholesterol levels (i.e. hypercholesterolemia) serve as a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimers disease (AD). However, it remains unclear how hypercholesterolemia may contribute to the onset and progression of AD pathology. In order to determine the role of hypercholesterolemia at various stages of AD, we evaluated the effects of high cholesterol diet (5% cholesterol) in wild-type (WT; C57BL6) and triple-transgenic AD (3xTg-AD: Psen1, APPSwe, tauB301L) mice at 7, 14, and 20 months. The transgenic APP-Swedish/Dutch/Iowa AD mouse model (APPSwDI) was used as a control since these animals are more pathologically-accelerated and are known to exhibit extensive plaque deposition and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Here, we describe the effects of high cholesterol diet on: (1) cognitive function and stress, (2) AD-associated pathologies, (3) neuroinflammation, (4) blood-brain barrier disruption and ventricle size, and (5) vascular dysfunction. Our data show ...

However, the research about familial hypercholesterolemia actually disproves the hypothesis that elevated cholesterol levels are responsible for cardiovascular disease.

Low saturated fat diets have been recommended as a means of reducing blood cholesterol levels for decades. However, for many years it has also been recognized that reducing the saturated fat content of the diet alone isnt sufficient to markedly lower blood cholesterol levels. To this point, since 2002, Dr. David Jenkins of the University of Toronto and his colleagues have published a series of studies showing that the combination of cholesterol-lowering foods called the portfolio diet lowers cholesterol to a much greater extent than any single food. Not surprisingly, soyfoods have been an integral part of this combination since they are low in saturated fat and soy protein itself lowers blood cholesterol levels. Subjects following the test diet are instructed to consume 22 grams of soy protein from soymilk, tofu and soy meat analogues per 1000 calories or about 35 grams per participant. Other components of the portfolio diet included nuts, soluble fiber and phytosterols.. In the latest study ...

The efficiency and efficacy of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis performed with a dextran sulphate cellulose (DSC) regenerating unit were tested in five familial hypercholesterolaemic patients. LDL apheresis was repeated four times at both bi-weekly and weekly intervals, processing one plasma volume each time. The efficiency of the procedure (i.e., the extent of lipoprotein removal) was nearly identical with both schedules. Efficacy parameters, i.e., decreases of plasma total and LDL cholesterol (TC and LDL-C) and apo B, were highly correlated (r , 0.96) with pre-apheresis levels, allowing an accurate prediction of the absolute lipid removal in the single individual. Plasma triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apo A-I and apo A-II recovered rather rapidly, reaching 91-96% of the pre-apheresis values in 48 hours; the recovery of TC, LDL-C and apo B was much slower, with a relatively rapid early phase (80% recovery after about 7 days) followed by a successive slower rise. ...

Despite recent national pediatric guidelines recommending identification and treatment of children with familial hypercholesterolemia, the use of lipid-lowering treatment has been flat over the past decade in real-world pediatric practice, finds a large multicenter study.. Justin Zachariah, MD, MPH, a pediatric cardiologist at Boston Childrens Hospital, presented the findings this week at the 2013 American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions. He believes they dispel some critiques of the recent guidelines, particularly concerns that more screening would result in overmedicating the pediatric population.. Extending beyond 2008 recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the 2011 National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes pediatric guidelines call for universal lipid screening and medical treatment for children at highest risk for early cardiovascular disease. One such high-risk condition is familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder characterized by high blood ...

Define familial hypercholesterolemia: an inherited metabolic disorder marked by excess accumulation of LDL cholesterol in the blood resulting…

Genetic testing of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Although awareness of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is increasing, this common, potentially fatal, treatable condition remains underdiagnosed. Despite FH being a genetic disorder, genetic testing is rarely used. With costs of next-generation DNA sequencing continuing to fall, genetic testing for FH has become more accessible. Most importantly, genetic testing provides a window of opportunity whereby we can identify those individuals at significantly higher risk than the general population for CAD at a given LDL-C level. Early recognition of FH leading to guideline-based therapy will alter the natural history of this highly morbid genetic condition. Read the full article. ...

Mellies, M.J.; Stein, E.A.; Khoury, P.; Lamkin, G.; Glueck, C.J., 1987: Effects of fenofibrate on lipids lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in 33 subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia

Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variants in the LDLR gene. Although it has been diagnosed in individuals worldwide, the disease is more prevalent in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, or French Canadian descent, as well as South African Afrikaners. For patients who inherit two mutant alleles, age of onset is in childhood or adolescence. The disease is characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream and cholesterol deposits on the tendons (xanthomas). Due to the high levels of cholesterol, hardening of the arteries can occur at a young age and most patients have severe coronary heart disease by their mid-20s. Many patients have either coronary bypass surgery, or a fatal heart attack, in adolescence. Individuals who carry one mutant allele also have hypercholesterolemia, although not to the same extent. These individuals have a 20-fold increased risk of coronary heart disease compared to the general public. Without ...
