  2. High-density lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_lipoprotein

    High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins. [1] Lipoproteins are complex particles composed of multiple proteins which transport all fat molecules around the body within the water outside cells. They are typically composed of 80–100 proteins per particle (organized by one, two or three ApoA). HDL particles ...

  3. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    Simple English; سنڌي; Slovenčina ... Molar mass: 386.65 g/mol ... (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Lower protein/lipid ratios make for less dense ...

  4. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein

    Lipoprotein(a) (LPA) is a lipoprotein particle of a certain phenotype; High-density lipoproteins (HDL) collect fat molecules from the body's cells/tissues and take them back to the liver. HDLs are sometimes referred to as "good" lipoprotein because higher concentrations correlate with low rates of atherosclerosis progression and/or regression.

  5. Lipidology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipidology

    A class of lipids known as phospholipids help make up what is known as lipoproteins, and a type of lipoprotein is called high density lipoprotein (HDL). [8] A high concentration of high density lipoproteins-cholesterols (HDL-C) have what is known as a vasoprotective effect on the body, a finding that correlates with an enhanced cardiovascular ...

  6. Metabolic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_syndrome

    Metabolic syndrome is a clustering of at least three of the following five medical conditions: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high serum triglycerides, and low serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Metabolic syndrome is associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. [1]

  7. Serum amyloid A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_amyloid_A

    Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are a family of apolipoproteins associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. Different isoforms of SAA are expressed constitutively (constitutive SAAs) at different levels or in response to inflammatory stimuli (acute phase SAAs). These proteins are produced predominantly by the liver. [1]

  8. Hyperlipidemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlipidemia

    Hyperlipidemia is abnormally high levels of any or all lipids (e.g. fats, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids) or lipoproteins in the blood. [2] The term hyperlipidemia refers to the laboratory finding itself and is also used as an umbrella term covering any of various acquired or genetic disorders that result in that finding. [3]

  9. Molar volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molar_volume

    The interest stems from that accurate measurements of the unit cell volume, atomic weight and mass density of a pure crystalline solid provide a direct determination of the Avogadro constant. [3] The CODATA recommended value for the molar volume of silicon is 1.205 883 199 (60) × 10 −5 m 3 ⋅mol −1, with a relative standard uncertainty of ...
