Materials & Methods: Ninety-nine participants were divided into two groups: normolipidemic and dyslipidemic. Lipid parameters were measured from serum and erythrocyte aggregation parameters: critical stress and critical time were measured from whole blood. Data were analyzed using IBS SPSS statistics software. Results: Erythrocyte aggregation was higher in the dyslipidemic group when compared with the normolipidemic group. Erythrocyte aggregation was associated with the abnormalities in lipid parameters, with the association of HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride being stronger than that of LDL-cholesterol and total cholesterol. Conclusion: The strong association of triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol with erythrocyte aggregation emphasizes the role of these lipids in the cardiovascular system.","PeriodicalId":55252,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lipidology","volume":"1 1","pages":"129 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79885705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims to highlight recent research on DHA’s role during age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Animal and in vitro studies have provided some interesting mechanistic leads, especially on brain glucose metabolism, that may be involved in neuroprotection by DHA. However, results from human studies are more mitigated, perhaps due to changing DHA metabolism during aging. Recent innovative tools such as 13C-DHA for metabolic studies and 11C-DHA for PET provide interesting opportunities to study factors that affect DHA homeostasis during aging and to better understand whether and how to use DHA to delay or treat Alzheimer’s disease.","PeriodicalId":55252,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lipidology","volume":"31 1","pages":"102 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87034600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With regard to low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, a wealth of evidence indicates that ‘lower is better,’ although recent guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association take a different approach. A variety of approved and experimental lipid-lowering agents may be used as supplements or alternatives to statin therapy in patient subgroups, including those with familial hypercholesterolemia, mixed dyslipidemia or statin intolerance. Strategies to achieve further reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, target high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides or reduce inflammation may help address residual cardiovascular risk, although early lifestyle interventions are crucial to prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":55252,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lipidology","volume":"23 1","pages":"33 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78531595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ApoE is the major apolipoprotein expressed in the brain and genetic variations in apoE underlie much of the genetically determined risk of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Regulation of lipid homeostasis in the CNS is therefore of great interest for healthy brain aging. The brain’s lipid transport system is built around lipoprotein particles that are similar in size and presumed function to circulating HDL. It is increasingly appreciated that many comorbidities that increase Alzheimer’s disease risk include aspects of aberrant HDL-metabolism, yet how circulating HDL may impact brain health is not fully understood. As comprehending the similarities and differences between CNS and peripheral lipid metabolism may reveal important relationships between cardiovascular and neurological diseases, here we review the fundamental properties of HDL metabolism in both peripheral and CNS compartments.","PeriodicalId":55252,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Lipidology","volume":"5 1","pages":"69 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88214430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
