High-Density Lipoproteins: Structure, Metabolism, Function and Therapeutics 1st Edition Pdf Book Description:

A Comprehensive guide to the Use of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in new and emerging treatments. With high-density lipoproteins (HDL) playing a growing role in cardiovascular disease prevention, there’s an increasing requirement for an comprehensive look in HDL and its medical significance. This publication summarizes the present state of knowledge within the area, providing for the first time a detailed, systematic, stylistically coherent, and also up-to-date review of this composition, structure, heterogeneity, metabolism, epidemiology, genetics, and role of HDL.

Divided into three chief components, High-Density Lipoproteins first assesses normal HDL particles, then explains faulty HDL, and addresses the curative normalization of subnormal amounts and faulty biological actions of the lipoprotein class. The publication highlights the practical properties of HDL, that can be related to the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, and discusses the anti inflammatory and metabolic heterogeneity of both HDL particles.

Readers will come away with a transparent comprehension of the role of HDL in biological procedures, the possible value of operational HDL as a therapeutic goal, and how present and emerging treatments are poised to affect the treatment of cardiovascular disease later on.
