High-density lipoproteins: a novel therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease has a high rate of mortality in both Western and developing countries. Atherosclerosis and generation of reactive oxygen species through oxidative stress is the major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Atherothrombosis with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and high levels of low-density lipoprotein is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis-induced cardiovascular disease. Lipid-lowering drugs like statins, niacin, fibrates, and some newer agents, ie, the apolipoprotein A… Show more

“…The biology of HDL is more complex than that of LDL, and capable of slowing atherosclerosis through several mechanisms. The number of regulators – genetic polymorphisms affecting synthesis of apoproteins, receptors, enzymes that remodel lipoproteins, and inflammatory markers that determine HDL-C levels, maturation, and function – are staggering, but multiple steps and regulators simultaneously provide additional therapeutic opportunities 364. Over 75 different proteins are found within HDL populations that are concerned with lipid metabolism, complement activation, acute phase response; and protease inhibition 365.…”
