Since the discovery in the 1970s that plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C) are inversely associated with cardiovascular outcome, it has been postulated that …

The concept of raising high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has been the focus of increasing
attention as a strategy to reduce cardiovascular disease. HDL particles are, however, highly …
