Serum high-density lipoproteins cholesterol, heparin and peripheral vascular disease. 1981

L Masana, and J Rubiés-Prat, and A R Nubiola, and S Masdeu, and R C de Sobregrau

Serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been determined in 85 patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and in 72 healthy control subjects. HDL-C levels were significantly decreased in patients with PVD. Considering other vascular risk factors as diabetes mellitus, smoking and hypertension, there were no differences in HDL-C levels. Twenty-three patients received heparin as treatment, this subgroup showed a HDL-C levels higher than patients who were not under heparin therapy. The possible clinical implications of these facts are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
