pubmed:abstractText |
Epidemiological studies have established that concentrations of plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are inversely associated with premature atherosclerosis, but the physiological basis of this relationship remains unknown. We investigated 5 probands with very low plasma HDL. None had clinical or biochemical findings typical of the known genetic disorders with low HDL nor had evidence of premature coronary atherosclerosis by sensitive diagnostic methods. All 5 probands and the son of 1 of them had rapid catabolism of the HDL apolipoproteins A-I and A-II. These results indicate that not all people with low HDL are necessarily at risk of premature coronary heart disease and that further investigation is required before decisions can be made about their management.
