The Role of Adiposity, Diet and Inflammation on the Discordance between LDL-C and Apolipoprotein B

Source : https://doi.org/10.1016/j.numecd.2021.12.004



Conclusion: "Our data show increased discordance between ApoB and LDL-C is associated with cardiometabolic, clinical and dietary abnormalities and that body fat percentage is causal of elevated ApoB."

Chapter 23 - Probiotics in the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases with focus on dyslipidemia

Source : https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-823733-5.00002-7



This chapter shows the potential of probiotic strains protecting against CVD based on clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. The suggested mechanisms for the hypolipidemic effects of the probiotic are also discussed.

Association between baseline serum uric acid and development of LDL-C level in patients with first acute myocardial infarction - BMC Cardiovascular Disorders

Association between baseline serum uric acid and development of LDL-C level in patients with first acute myocardial infarction - BMC Cardiovascular Disorders

Source : https://bmccardiovascdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12872-021-02383-x

Background Data on the relationship of baseline serum uric acid (SUA) with development of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level in patients with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are limited. The...



Conclusion: "Among Chinese patients with first AMI, higher baseline SUA was associated with higher LDL-C deduction percentage (%), and higher rate of LDL-C control in the short-term follow-up, respectively. SUA acquired when AMI occurred was prone to be profitable in predicting the risk stratification of uncontrolled LDL-C and dyslipidemia...
