Non-HDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides

Abstract: Objectives-Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDLC) levels reflect the full burden of cholesterol transported in atherogenic lipoproteins. Genetic studies suggest a causal association between elevated triglycerides (TGs)-rich lipoproteins and atherosclerosis. We evaluated associations between achieved non-HDLC and TG levels on changes in coronary atheroma volume. Approach and Results-Data were analyzed from 9 clinical trials involving 4957 patients with coronary disease undergoing serial intravascul… Show more

“…Non-HDL-C reflects the full burden of the cholesterol transported in atherogenic lipoproteins and its assessment for CVD risk prediction and as a target of therapy has been emphasized in several guidelines [ 20 , 21 ]. Non-HDL-C was closely associated with plaque progression [ 22 ] and was more predictive of the severity of coronary atherosclerosis compared to LDL-C [ 23 ]; this is also true in primary prevention studies [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Among statin-treated patients, on-treatment levels of non-HDL-C were more strongly associated with the risk of future major CV events compared to LDL-C and ApoB in a large meta-analysis [ 24 ].…”

“…Inflammation can be screened through the examination of inflammatory markers, popularly known as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the inflammatory score derived from the proinflammatory cytokines, osteopontin, chemokines (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), CCL5, chemokines (C-C motif) ligand 5, cyclooxygenases (COX), connective tissues growth factors (CTGF), fractalkines (CX3CL1), iNOS, ICAM-1, NFκB and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), TLR, and anti-inflammatory adiponectin [42][43][44]. Other related biomarkers include: growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF15), myeloid-related proteins 8/14, pentraxin 3, and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), which were identified as surrogate markers of atherosclerosis associated with cardiovascular diseases during obesity [45,46], while galectin-3 was described as a potential biomarker of vascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunctions attributed to inflammation in obesity [47].…”
