High-density lipoprotein subfractions and risk of coronary artery disease

Abstract: Numerous studies have shown that levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are inversely related to coronary artery disease risk. The HDL subfractions, however, seem to differ in their capacity to confer protection, with the large HDL2 subfraction appearing to be more important than the small HDL3 subfraction. Lipid-modifying drugs differ in their HDL-raising efficacy, and they also differ in how they affect HDL subfractions. Clinical trials show that raising total HDL cholesterol improves clinical … Show more

“…While there were statistically significant decreases in body composition (body weight, BMI, percent body fat), none of these changes were significantly correlated with changes in HDL 2 -C. Thus, it appears that increases in HDL 2 -C as a result of aerobic exercise occur independent of changes in body weight. These findings are important because of the general belief that HDL 2 -C provides greater protection against CHD than HDL 3 -C [3]. In addition, the fact that we found statistically significant increases in HDL 2 -C but not HDL-C suggests that cardioprotective benefits can occur independent of changes in HDL-C.…”

“…The third report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on the Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III) concluded that a low level of HDL-C is strongly and inversely related to coronary heart disease (CHD) [2]. Of the two major HDL-C subfractions, HDL 2 -C appears to provide greater protection against CHD than high-density lipoprotein three cholesterol (HDL 3 -C) [3].…”

“…(37,38) Differences in distribution and size of HDL-P have been related to CVD risk. (39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46) Whether there is a unique important protective effect of size of HDL-P measured by NMR spectroscopy requires better assessment of the characteristics and metabolism by size of HDL-P. (39) Large rather than small LDL-P were more strongly related to risk of CHD death for MRFIT men with MetSyn, especially among men without morbid CV events in the first 6 years of the trial. Recent reports from the MESA (36) and the VA-HIT trial (35) have shown that markers of LDL-P rather than size may be a more important determinant of the risk of CHD.…”

“…Because the major role of HDL2-C appears to be as a final receptor in the reverse cholesterol transport process, increases in HDL2-C as a result of aerobic exercise occurred independently of changes in physical characteristics, and statistically significant increases were found in HDL2-C but not important in HDL-C 42) . In addition, of the two major HDL-C subfractions, HDL2-C may provide greater protection against CAD than HDL3-C 62) . Therefore, no increase in HDL-C in the clinical setting may not be indicative of a lack of cardioprotection within this lipoprotein group 42) .…”
