1. Increased blood or plasma viscosity has been observed in almost all conditions associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. Cognizant of the enlarging body of evidence implicating increased viscosity in atherogenesis, we hypothesize that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. 2. Blood viscometry was performed on samples from 28 healthy, non-fasting adult volunteers using a capillary viscometer. Data were correlated with haematocrit, fibrinogen, serum viscosity, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglycerides and calculated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. 3. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was more strongly correlated with blood viscosity than was total cholesterol (r = 0.4149, P = 0.0281, compared with r = 0.2790, P = 0.1505). High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels were inversely associated with blood viscosity (r = −0.4018, P = 0.0341). 4. To confirm these effects, viscometry was performed on erythrocytes, suspended in saline, which had been incubated in plasma of various low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratios. Viscosity correlated directly with low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio (n = 23, r = 0.8561, P < 0.01). 5. Low-density lipoprotein receptor occupancy data suggests that these effects on viscosity are mediated by erythrocyte aggregation. 6. These results demonstrate that the effects of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein on blood viscosity in healthy subjects correlate with their association with risk of atherosclerosis. These effects on viscosity may play a role in atherogenesis by modulating the dwell or residence time of atherogenic particles in the vicinity of the endothelium.

Objective: To compare serum levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol between broilers and laying hens. Materials and Methods: the present is a cross study, descriptive and analytic. Data was analyzed using simple ANOVA, the program Statgraphics Plus 5.1 was used. The study was performed at Universidad de Caldas in Manizales (Colombia). After fasting, blood from 30 broilers (Cobb 500 line) of 35-day-old and 40 laying hens (Hy-Line W-36 line) of 26-weeks-old. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was measured by enzymatic colorimetric methods, direct method (detergent + N,Nbis (4-sulfobutyl)-m-toluidine) was used for the lipoprotein cholesterol. Results: Between broilers (Cobb 500 line) and (laying hens (Hy-line W-36 line) was significant difference in serum levels of triglycerides and in serum levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P <0.05); serum levels of total cholesterol and serum levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, no differences were found (P> 0.05) Conclusions: Despite differences in gender, age, and production system among broilers Cobb 500 line and laying hens Hy-Line W-36, no differences were found between serum total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of homoeopathic simillimum treatment in patients with hypercholesterolaemia in terms of the major cholesterol lipoprotein fractions in blood. The desired outcome was to be a lowering of the total cholesterol (Te) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels as well as an increase in the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) level.

Abstract We studied alterations in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and of other lipid categories (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides) in serum in hypo- and hyperthyroid states, and compared these findings with those of a control group. In the latter group the lipids showed an age-related increase in concentration but with a decrease in the eighth decade in all categories. In untreated hypo- and hyperthyroid subjects, all of the lipid values differed significantly from those of the controls but promptly returned to normal values upon treatment. In hypothyroid patients who are prone to develop coronary heart disease, the concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were high, suggesting protection against heart disease, while the ratio to total cholesterol indicated the contrary. The exact opposite of these relationships was seen in hyperthyroid disorders. This apparent paradox suggests that the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in serum, with its established atherogenic effect, should be given at least equal, if not more, weight than the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in serum, with its alleged protective effect.
