- WHATS NEW?
- Suppression of chemokines by HDL
- HDL cholesterol linked to oestrogen levels

- Abnormal lipids when young predicts atherosclerosis in later life
- JUPITER: Is HDL cholesterol relevant to residual risk in low-risk patients on potent statin therapy?
- EAS Workshop: How does HDL protect against atherosclerosis?
First report of SR-B1 mutation in man influencing HDL cholesterol levels
Researchers from the Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The
Netherlands presented the first evidence of a scavenger receptor class
B1 (SR-B1) mutation in man. SR-B1 is a hepatic receptor that promotes
selective uptake and removal of HDL from the plasma, and is therefore
important in protecting against atherosclerosis.
