Hdl Cholesterol

Likelihood of testing positive for thyroglobulin antibodies is increased for people with higher LDL cholesterol and decreased for those with higher HDL cholesterol levels, particularly among women, according to study data.

HDL anti-inflammatory capacity was inversely associated with incident CVD and may serve as a good predictor of CV risk when added to established risk assessment tools, according to data published in Circulation.

Gender-affirming hormone therapy causes changes in HDL cholesterol levels for transgender adolescents, and obesity can modify these associations, according to a research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics.

High HDL cholesterol levels alone may not be cardioprotective for midlife women; estradiol may influence the risk for cardiovascular disease, according to data from the SWAN Heart study.

Researchers found that HDL cholesterol levels can be used to monitor high triglyceride levels and remnant cholesterol, similar to how high HbA1c can indicate long-term glucose levels. This was one of the top stories in endocrinology last week.

Low HDL cholesterol levels can be used to monitor long-term, average high triglyceride levels and remnant cholesterol in much the same way a high HbA1c is an indicator of long-term, average high glucose levels, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Non-HDL was strongly linked to long-term risk for atherosclerotic CVD, as shown by a tool for long-term risk assessment, according to a study published in The Lancet.

Chinese adults with triglyceride to HDL cholesterol ratios greater than 0.8533 are more likely to experience a stroke, myocardial infarction or overall cardiovascular event than those with smaller ratios, according to findings published in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation.
