Another way 'good' cholesterol is good: Combatting inflammation

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 215 views | 0 comments

The ability of HDL particles (commonly known as 'good' cholesterol) to reduce inflammation in the cells that line blood vessels may help predict who is more likely to develop a heart attack or other serious heart-related event. Gauging the anti-inflammatory capacity of HDL cholesterol may one day improve standard heart disease risk assessment.

Protein that blocks body's ability to clear bad cholesterol identified

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 204 views | 0 comments

Researchers have uncovered a long-sought link in the battle to control cholesterol and heart disease. The protein that interferes with low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors that clear 'bad' cholesterol from the blood was identified. Excess LDL cholesterol can lead to atherosclerosis -- a narrowing and hardening of arteries -- and ultimately, heart attack.

Should you take fish oil? Depends on your genotype

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 207 views | 0 comments

Fish oil supplements are a billion-dollar industry built on a foundation of purported, but not proven, health benefits. Now, new research indicates that taking fish oil only provides health benefits if you have the right genetic makeup.

New strategy for fighting brain cancer

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 214 views | 0 comments

Most people relate cholesterol to heart health, but it is also a critical component in the growth and spread of brain cancer. Researchers recently discovered how cholesterol becomes dysregulated in brain cancer cells and showed that the gene responsible for it could be a target for future drugs.

Long-term, heavy coffee consumption and CVD risk

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 220 views | 0 comments

In a world first genetic study, researchers found that that long-term, heavy coffee consumption - six or more cups a day - can increase the amount of lipids (fats) in your blood to significantly heighten your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Cholesterol starvation kills lymphoma cells

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 214 views | 0 comments

Scientists have developed a novel therapy to trick cancer cells into gobbling up what they think is their favorite food - cholesterol -- which actually triggers their destruction. What appears to them as a cholesterol-loaded particle is actually a synthetic nanoparticle that binds to the cancer cells and starves them to death. The study was in lymphoma cells but could be effective in ovarian and kidney cancer.

Diabetes powerfully associated with premature coronary heart disease in women

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 202 views | 0 comments

To understand what factors put younger individuals at higher risk of premature coronary heart disease, researchers analyzed more than 50 risk factors in 28,024 women who participated in the decades-long Women's Health Study. Notably, women under 55 with type-2 diabetes had a tenfold greater risk of having CHD over the next two decades, with lipoprotein insulin resistance proving to be a strong, predictive biomarker as well.

Large transporter protein linked to schizophrenia

Added: 05.11.2021 21:29 | 209 views | 0 comments

Scientists have suspected mutations in a cellular cholesterol transport protein are associated with psychiatric disorders, but have found it difficult to prove this and to pinpoint how it happens. Now, researchers have provided evidence that mice with disrupted ABCA13 protein demonstrate a hallmark behavior of schizophrenia.
