High-density lipoprotein: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties

Abstract: The ability of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to promote cholesterol efflux is an important component of its ability to protect against cardiovascular disease. In addition, the anti-inflammatory properties of HDL are important as well. As part of the innate immune system, HDL appears to have evolved to increase inflammation in the presence of an acute phase response but to inhibit inflammation in the absence of an acute phase response. In a study of humans with coronary heart disease, it was found that the pat… Show more

“…In the current study, UFPs reduced HDL anti-oxidant capacity as measured by its ability to inhibit LDL oxidation. HDL anti-atherogenic properties include the abilities to exert anti-oxidant and anti-infl ammatory actions in the vasculature ( 8,9 ). The data from the current study are in agreement with the report revealing the anti-oxidant capacity of HDL is signifi cantly impaired in patients with acute coronary syndromes as compared with healthy individuals or those with stable coronary artery disease ( 32 ).…”

“…39,40 This study also found an association between CRP and HDL-C. This finding is particularly important because high density lipoprotein cholesterol has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, 41 hence patients with low HDL-C may have higher degree of inflammation and oxidative stress.…”

“…It is well established that HDL-cholesterol concentrations are inversely associated with triglyceride concentrations due to their interrelated metabolic fates. In addition to the role of HDL in promoting cholesterol effl ux, HDL composition and structure are also emerging as being important for this process ( 22 ). In one small study, patients with CHD or CHD risk factors had proinfl ammatory HDL relative to matched controls at baseline, and about one-half continued to have proinfl ammatory HDL after statin therapy despite a profound decrease in plasma lipids.…”
