Trends in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level among Chinese young adults hospitalized with first acute myocardial infarction
Source : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8576691/
Representative data has shown a linear increase in mean low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels among Chinese adults, contributing to the burden of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This study aimed to...
Conclusions: The current study provides an overview of trends in LDL-C level and elevated LDL-C among young adults at the time of first AMI. Patients had a high prevalence of elevated LDL-C but low awareness of this status. Coronary artery stenosis was positively correlated with LDL-C level. Preventive strategies, including public education...

Dr Hamid4yrInteresting journal that study aimed to assess the trends in LDL-C levels and their association with coronary artery stenosis during the first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young Chinese adults.
Host immunomodulatory lipids created by symbionts from dietary amino acids - Nature
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-04083-0
Small molecules derived from symbiotic microbiota critically contribute to intestinal immune maturation and regulation1. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that control immune development in the host-microbiota environment....
We present a structural and molecular-level paradigm of immunomodulatory control by interactions of endobiotic metabolites with diet, microbiota and the immune system.

Polygenic contribution for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34751168/
Polygenic risk scores have revealed to be important tools to define the cause of hypercholesterolemia in FH mutation-negative individuals and should be included in FH diagnosis strategies, although there is...
Summary: Polygenic risk scores have revealed to be important tools to define the cause of hypercholesterolemia in FH mutation-negative individuals and should be included in FH diagnosis strategies, although there is still space for more specific LDL-C GRS to be developed. The use of GRS may be used to refine cardiovascular risk prediction in FH...

Conclusions: Total cholesterol, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were positively associated with the presence of carotid IPN in a Chinese high-stroke-risk population. Further prospective studies should be conducted to better understand how much finding IPN adds to current stroke prediction...
