Abstract
AIM A twin study is a valuable tool for elucidating the acquired factors against lifestyle diseases such as dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. We aimed 1. to investigate the factors that affect low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in monozygotic (MZ) twins, and 2. to identify genes which expression levels changed in pairs with large differences in LDL-C or HDL-C levels. METHODS The registered database at the Center for Twin Research, Osaka University, containing 263 pairs of MZ twins, was analyzed. 1. The effects of smoking, exercise, nutritional factors, and anthropometric and biochemical parameters on LDL-C or HDL-C levels were examined in MZ twins. 2. RNA sequencing in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 59 pairs was analyzed for large differences of LDL-C or HDL-C groups. RESULTS 1. The ΔLDL-C levels were significantly associated with an older age, the ΔTG levels, and ΔBMI. ΔHDL-C levels were associated with the ΔBMI, ΔTG, ΔTP, and ΔLDL-C levels. The HDL-C levels were affected by smoking and exercise habits. The intakes of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids were not associated with the LDL-C or HDL-C levels. 2. An RNA sequencing analysis revealed that the expression of genes related to the TLR4 and IFNG pathways was suppressed in accordance with the HDL-C levels in the larger ΔHDL-C group among the 59 pairs. CONCLUSION We identified the factors affecting the LDL-C or HDL-C levels in monozygotic twins. In addition, some types of inflammatory gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were suppressed in accordance with the HDL-C levels, thus suggesting the importance of weight management and exercise habits in addition to dietary instructions to control the LDL-C or HDL-C levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between obesity, metabolic dysregulation, and the aggressive pathological traits of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) continues to be a contentious issue. To date, no investigations have examined the impact of metabolic status on the malignant pathological features of PTC in relation to obesity. METHODS This research involved 855 adult patients with PTC from Shandong Provincial Hospital, classified into 4 groups based on metabolic and obesity status: metabolically healthy nonobese, metabolically unhealthy nonobese (MUNO), metabolically healthy obese, and metabolically unhealthy obese. We employed logistic regression to investigate the relationship between these metabolic obesity phenotypes and PTC's pathological characteristics. Mediation analysis was also performed to determine metabolic abnormalities' mediating role in the nexus between obesity and these characteristics. RESULTS Relative to metabolically healthy nonobese individuals, the metabolically unhealthy obese group was significantly associated with an elevated risk of larger tumor sizes and a greater number of tumor foci in PTC. Mediation analysis indicated that obesity directly influences tumor size, whereas its effect on tumor multifocality is mediated through metabolic dysfunctions. Specifically, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were notably associated with tumor multifocality within obese subjects, serving as a mediator in obesity's impact on this trait. CONCLUSION The concurrent presence of obesity and metabolic dysregulation is often connected to more aggressive pathological features in PTC. The mediation analysis suggests obesity directly affects tumor size and indirectly influences tumor multifocality via low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

Abstract
There is limited information about the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and ALT to HDL-C ratio. This study aims to investigate this relationship for the first time in Iran. The data of this study were taken from the third phase of the Shahroud Eye Cohort Study, which was conducted in 2019 with the participation of 4394 people aged 50-74. ALT and HDL-C levels were measured using a BT-1500 autoanalyzer. The mean ALT/HDL-C ratio was reported along with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The multiple logistic regression was used to examine the association between this ratio and DM, while controlling for the effects of other independent variables. The mean and standard deviation of the ALT/HDL-C ratio in all participants were 16.62 ± 11.22 (95% CI 16.28-16.96). The prevalence of DM was 34.7% and individuals with DM had a mean ALT/HDL-C ratio that was 1.80 units higher than those without diabetes (P < 0.001). Also, in individuals with DM, the HDL-C was found to be 0.035 (mmol/L) lower (P < 0.001), while ALT was 1.13 (IU/L) higher (P < 0.001) compared to those without diabetes. Additionally, after controlling for confounding factors, the odds of developing DM increased in a non-linear manner with an increase in the ALT/HDL-C ratio. Abdominal obesity, advanced age, female gender, and hypertension were also found to be associated with increased odds of DM. In conclusion, an increase in the ALT/ HDL-C ratiowas associated with higher odds of DM. This ratio can serve as an important predictor for diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is considered to be an important contributor of dyslipidemia. However, there lacks observational studies focusing on the potential effect of lipid management on OSA risk. Thus, we aimed to investigate the genetic association of lipid-modifying therapy with risk of OSA. METHODS A drug-target mendelian randomization (MR) study using both cis-variants and cis-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) of lipid-modifying drug targets was performed. The MR analyses used summary-level data of genome wide association studies (GWAS). Primary MR analysis was conducted using inverse-variance-weighted (IVW) method. Sensitivity analysis was performed using weighted median (WM) and MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) methods. RESULTS Genetically proxied low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering effect of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) was associated with reduced risk of OSA (odds ratio [OR] =0.75, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60-0.94, false discovery rate [FDR] q value = 0.046). A significant MR association with risk of OSA was observed for CETP expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue (OR = 0.94, 95%CI: 0.89-1.00, FDR q value = 0.049), lung (OR = 0.94, 95%CI: 0.89-1.00, FDR q value = 0.049) and small intestine (OR = 0.96, 95%CI: 0.93-1.00, FDR q value = 0.049). No significant effects of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)-raising effect of CETP inhibition, LDL-C-lowering and triglycerides-lowering effect of other drug targets on OSA risk were observed. CONCLUSIONS The present study presented genetic evidence supporting the association of LDL-C-lowering therapy by CETP inhibition with reduced risk of OSA. These findings provided novel insights into the role of lipid management in patients with OSA and encouraged further clinical validations and mechanistic investigations.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a component of metabolic syndrome, having an important role in the carcinogenesis of different tumor types, such as prostate, ovarian, or renal cancer. The number of studies on the predictive potential of the different components of the lipid profile with a predictive potential in breast cancer is quite low. The evaluation of the lipid profile was carried out for the 142 patients who benefited from neoadjuvant therapy (NAC) in order to identify a potential predictive biomarker. The serological sample collection was performed sequentially according to a standardized protocol, pre-NAC, post-NAC and 6 months post-NAC after a 6-h pre-collection fast. We also investigated in the general group the presence or absence of the p53 mutation (TP53) and of the mitotic index ki-67, respectively, in relation to the molecular subtypes. The menopausal status, tumor size, family history, grading, Ki-67, p53 and LN metastases have a predictive nature regarding overall survival (OS) (p < 0.05), while for disease free survival (DFS), only tumor size, tumor grading, Ki-67 > 14, and p53+ are of predictive nature. The genetic and molecular analysis carried out in our group indicates that 71.67% have a Ki-67 score higher than 14%, and 39% of the patients have the positive P53 mutation. The multivariate analysis in the case of patients included in the TNBC subtype showed that the increased tumor volume (p = 0.002) and increased level of HDL (p = 0.004) represent predictive factors for the tumor response rate to NAC. High HDL-C levels before NAC and increased LDL-C levels after NAC were associated with the better treatment response in ER-positive and HER2+ breast cancer patients. Increased HDL-C values and tumor volume represent predictive factors as to the response rate to NAC in the case of patients included in the TNBC subtype. Regarding the ER+ and HER2+ subtypes, increased levels of HDL-C pre-NAC and increased levels of LDL-C post-NAC were associated with a better therapeutic response rate. Tumor grading, Ki-67, p53, and LN metastases have a predictive nature for OS, while tumor size, tumor grading, and Ki-67 > 14, and p53+ are predictive for DFS.

Abstract
Objective High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been reported to be associated with pain symptoms of various diseases, and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mediation is related to the pathogenesis of chronic pain. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between HDL-C levels and chronic pain in American adults. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from American adults aged 20 and above during the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycle. Participants were divided into 4 groups based on HDL-C quartiles. We used chi-square tests and Student's t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests to analyze categorical variables and continuous variables to compare differences between groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to study the association between HDL-C levels and the risk of chronic pain. Likelihood ratio tests were used to assess interactions between subgroups, and sensitivity analyses were conducted. Results Our final analysis included 4,688 participants, of which 733 (16.4%) had chronic pain. In the multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for covariates, there was a negative correlation between HDL-C levels and chronic pain. Specifically, for every 20 unit increase in HDL-C, the risk of chronic pain decreased by 26%. Compared with the lowest HDL-C quartile (< 43 mg/dL), the highest HDL-C quartile (≥ 64 mg/dL) was associated with a 24% reduction in the risk of chronic pain. No interaction factors affecting the relationship between HDL-C and chronic pain were found in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion This study demonstrates a negative association between HDL-C levels and chronic pain in US adults, providing insights into the pathogenesis of chronic pain and potential improvements in chronic pain management strategies.

Abstract
Vascular causes are most commonly associated with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL). This study was performed to determine the relationship between serum endothelin-1 (ET-1), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) levels, and the degree of hearing loss in patients with SSHL. Firstly, 60 SSHL patients were admitted to The First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. In the same period, 60 healthy subjects matching the age and gender of SSHL patients were selected as the control group. Then, serum levels of ET-1, HDL-C, and sVCAM-1 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Next, the relationship between serum levels of ET-1, HDL-C, and sVCAM-1 with clinicopathological factors and their diagnostic and prognostic values were analyzed and evaluated. Serum ET-1 and sVCAM-1 were increased, and HDL-C was decreased in patients with SSHL. Serum ET-1 and sVCAM-1 were higher and HDL-C was lower in patients aged ≥ 45 years, or severe hearing loss patients (P < 0.05). ROC analysis determined that ET-1 (AUC = 0.839), HDL-C (AUC = 0.830), and sVCAM-1 (AUC = 0.865) had excellent diagnostic values. In addition, patients with low levels of ET-1 and sVCAM-1 and high levels of HDL-C had better hearing prognosis (P < 0.05). Abnormal serum ET-1, HDL-C, and sVCAM-1 in patients with SSHL are closely related to age, and degree of hearing loss, and perform diagnostic and prognostic values.

OBJECTIVE A new inflammatory marker, namely monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), has emerged as a useful indicator for adverse outcomes in several cardiovascular diseases; however, the relationship between MHR and the prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains to be evaluated. We examined the relationship between MHR and all-cause mortality (ACM) in Chinese adult patients with HCM. METHODS We retrospectively performed clinical evaluation in 305 patients with HCM (median age: 52.0 years, male: 54.10%). RESULTS During a median follow-up of 4.9 years, ACM occurred in 57 (18.7%) patients. Based on the tertiles of baseline MHR, ACM increased with higher tertile. With tertile 1 as reference, adjusted ACM hazard ratios (HRs) were 2.68 for tertile 2 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.18-6.11, p = 0.019) and 4.85 for tertile 3 (95% CI: 2.16-10.89, p < 0.001). Stratified analysis and E-value analysis suggested the robustness of the above-mentioned results. Furthermore, adjusted smooth curve fitting exhibited a non-linear relationship between MHR and ACM (inflection point: 0.5), and the risk of ACM increased significantly with higher MHR only the value below the inflection point (HR: 4.37 per one standard deviation, 95% CI: 1.81-10.6, p = 0.001). Finally, sensitivity analysis was similar to the main findings. CONCLUSION In Chinese adult patients with HCM, higher MHR is a strong independent predictor of ACM, and a non-linear relationship is also observed between MHR and ACM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Results of studies on the effects of plant and animal proteins on lipid profile are controversial. So we aimed to assess the relationship between plant and animal protein intake with lipid profile and novel anthropometric indices in healthy individuals. METHOD In this cross-sectional study, 236 participants have selected from Shiraz medical centers (Iran) through random cluster sampling. Food intakes were assessed using a 168-items food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) were measured. Anthropometric indices including a body shape index (ABSI), abdominal volume index (AVI), buddy roundness index (BRI), and conicity index (CI) were calculated. RESULTS In the crude and fully adjusted models, more consumption of plant proteins was associated with TG levels (OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.08, 4.95; P = 0.03 and OR = 2.39; 95% CI: 1.03, 5.15; P = 0.04). Also, there was a significant direct association between plant proteins and BRI in the curd model (OR = 3.55; 95% CI: 1.32, 9.54; P = 0.01), and after adjusting for age and energy intake (OR = 3.32; 95% CI: 1.21, 9.14; P = 0.01). More consumption of plant proteins was related to higher CI in the crude model (OR = 3.06; 95% CI: 1.12, 8.31; P = 0.03), but not in the fully adjusted model. CONCLUSION We found that a higher intake of plant proteins was associated with a higher TG level, BRI, and CI index. However, more research is needed to confirm these relations and provide the evidence needed to exert these findings into clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sarcopenia is a pathological change characterized by muscle loss in older people. According to the reports, there is controversy on the relationship between dyslipidemia and sarcopenia. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to explore the association between sarcopenia and dyslipidemia. METHODS We searched the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP Database) for case‒control studies to extract data on the odds ratio (OR) between sarcopenia and dyslipidemia and the MD(mean difference) of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, and TG/HDL-C between sarcopenia and nonsarcopenia. The JBI(Joanna Briggs) guidelines were used to evaluate the quality. Excel 2021, Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 16.0 were used for the statistical analysis. RESULTS Twenty studies were included in the meta-analysis, 19 of which were evaluated as good quality. The overall OR of the relationship between sarcopenia and dyslipidemia was 1.47, and the MD values of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, and TG/HDL-C were 1.10, 1.95, 1.27, 30.13, and 0.16 respectively. In female, compared with the non-sarcopnia, the MD of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG of sarcopenia were - 1.67,2.21,1.02,-3.18 respectively. In male, the MD of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia were - 0.51, 1.41, 5.77, -0.67. The OR between sarcopenia and dyslipidemia of the non-China region was 4.38, and it was 0.9 in China. In the group(> 60), MD of TC between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia was 2.63, while it was 1.54 in the group(20-60). CONCLUSION Dyslipidemia was associated with sarcopenia in the elderly, which was affected by sex, region and age.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke, the most prevalent form of stroke, leads to neurological impairment due to cerebral ischemia and affects 55-90% of the population. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a crucial role in the central nervous system and regulates cardiometabolic risk factors, including lipids. This single-center study aimed to explore the relationship between lipid profiles and BDNF levels in 90 patients who had experienced AIS for the first time. The results show that the high BDNF group (≥3.227 ng/mL) had significantly higher HbA1C and TG levels; ratios of TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C; and percentage of hyperlipidemia (60%) as well as lower levels of HDL-C, with an OR of 1.903 (95% CI: 1.187-3.051) for TG/HDL-C, 1.975 (95% CI: 1.188-3.284) for TC/HDL-C, and 2.032 (95% CI: 1.113-3.711) for LDL-C/HDL-C. Plasma BDNF levels were found to be significantly positively correlated with TG and negatively with HDL-C, with OR values of 1.017 (95% CI: 1.003-1.030) and 0.926 (95% CI: 0.876-0.978), respectively. TC/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios are associated with BDNF levels in AIS patients. The results also indicate that, in AIS patients, higher BDNF levels are associated with lower HDL and higher TG concentrations.

Abstract
The condition of being underweight is a social problem in Japan among women. However, there is a lack of evidence for dietary guidance for underweight women because there has been no comparison of lipids or HbA1c among underweight, normal weight, and overweight women in different age groups. We analyzed the effect of body size and age on the serum lipid and hemoglobin A1c levels in Japanese women in a cross-sectional study. A total of 26,118 women aged >20-65 years underwent physical examinations between 2012 and 2022. Seventeen percent of women aged >20-29 years were underweight, and 8% of those aged 50-65 years were underweight. Total cholesterol and non-HDL-C concentrations increased with age, but the difference between underweight and overweight individuals was lowest among women aged 50-65 years. On the other hand, the differences in HDL-C, TG, and HbA1c levels between underweight and overweight subjects were greatest in the 50-65 age group, but the differences between underweight and normal weight subjects were much smaller. Considering that, unlike HDL-C, TG, and HbA1c, TC and non-HDL-C increase to levels comparable to overweight levels in underweight women in aged 50-65 years, educating people about a diet that lowers non-HDL-C is necessary even in young underweight women.

Abstract
Background Dyslipidemia is highly prevalent among individuals with prediabetes, further exacerbating their cardiovascular risk. However, the genetic determinants underlying diabetic dyslipidemia in Southern Han Chinese remain largely unexplored. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of blood lipid traits in 451 Southern Han Chinese adults with prediabetes. Fasting plasma lipids, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were assayed. Genotyping was conducted using the Precision Medicine Diversity Array and Gene Titan platform, followed by genotype imputation using IMPUTE2 with the 1000 Genomes Project (Phase 3, Southern Han Chinese) as reference. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with lipid levels were identified using mixed linear regression, with adjustment for covariates. Results We identified 58, 215, 74 and 81 novel SNPs associated with TG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C levels, respectively (P < 5×10-5). Several implicated loci were located in or near genes involved in lipid metabolism, including SRD5A2, PCSK7, PITPNC1, IRX3, BPI, and LBP. Pathway enrichment analysis highlighted lipid metabolism and insulin secretion. Conclusion This first GWAS of dyslipidemia in Southern Han Chinese with prediabetes identified novel genetic variants associated with lipid traits. Our findings provide new insights into genetic mechanisms underlying heightened cardiovascular risk in the prediabetic stage. Functional characterization of implicated loci is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational studies and meta-analyses have indicated associations between blood lipid profiles and asthma. However, the causal association is unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the causal relationship between blood lipid profiles and asthma using bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis. METHODS AND MATERIALS Our analyses were performed using individual data from the Taiwan Biobank and summary statistics from the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN). The causal estimates between all genetic variants, exposures of interest and asthma were calculated using an inverse-variance weighted method based on Taiwan Biobank data from 24,853 participants (mean age, 48.8 years; 49.8% women). Sensitivity analyses, including the weighted median, MR Egger regression, MR-PRESSO, mode-based estimate, contamination mixture methods, and leave-one-out analysis, were applied to validate the results and detect pleiotropy. RESULTS In the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) analyses, we found evidence of a significant causal effect of an increased level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on asthma risk (βIVW = 1.338, p = 0.001). A genetically decreased level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was also associated with asthma risk (βIVW = -0.338, p = 0.01). We also found that an increased level of total cholesterol was associated with an increased risk of asthma (βIVW = 1.343, p = 0.001). Several sensitivity analyses generated consistent findings. We did not find evidence to support the causality between asthma and blood lipid profiles in either direction. CONCLUSION Our results supported the causal relationship between higher levels of LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol and lower levels of HDL cholesterol with an increased risk of asthma.

Abstract
Despite multiple investigations assessing the impact of phytosterol supplementation on serum lipid levels, there is still a great deal of debate regarding the benefits of this intervention in the management of dyslipidemia. Therefore, we aimed at clarifying this dilemma by conducting the present umbrella review of interventional meta-analyses. Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE were used to search for pertinent publications on the effect of phytosterol supplementation on the lipid profile in humans up to June 2023. To compute the overall effect size (ES) and confidence intervals (CI), the random-effects model was used. The I2 statistic and Cochrane's Q-test were applied to estimate the heterogeneity among the studies. Seventeen meta-analyses with 23 study arms were included in the umbrella meta-analysis. Data pooled from the 23 eligible arms revealed that phytosterol supplementation reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (ES = -11.47 mg/dL; 95% CI: -12.76, -10.17, p < 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (ES = -13.02 mg/dL; 95% CI: -15.68, -10.37, p < 0.001), and triglyceride (TG) (ES = -3.77 mg/dL; 95% CI: -6.04, -1.51, p = 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that phytosterol administration with dosage ≥2 g/day and duration over 8 weeks and in hypercholesterolemic subjects was more likely to decrease LDL-C, TC, and TG. Phytosterol administration did not significantly modify HDL-C (ES = 0.18 mg/dL; 95% CI: -0.13, -0.51, p = 258) levels when compared to controls. The present umbrella meta-analysis confirms that phytosterol administration significantly reduces LDL-C, TC, and TG, with a greater effect with doses of ≥2 g/day and treatment duration >8 weeks, suggesting its possible application as a complementary therapy for cardiovascular risk reduction. Further studies are needed to determine the efficacy of phytosterols in patients with specific health conditions, as well as to ascertain the adverse effects, the maximum tolerable dose, and the maximum recommended duration of phytosterol administration.

Abstract
The interplay between HDL-C and LDL levels are closely intertwined with the cardiovascular system. High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) is a well-known biomarker traditionally being interpreted as higher the HDL-C levels, minimal the risk of adverse cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. However, recent research has unveiled a more complex relationship between HDL-C levels and cardiovascular outcomes, including genetic influences and potential risks associated with extremely high HDL-C levels. Intriguingly, extremely high HDL-C levels have been linked to unexpected cardiovascular risks. Up To date research suggests that individuals with genetically linked ultra-high HDL-C levels may depict an increased susceptibility to CVD, challenging the conventional realm that higher HDL-C is always beneficial. The mechanisms underlying this mystery are not fully understood but may involve HDL particle functionality and composition. In a nutshell, the relationship between HDL-C levels and cardiovascular outcomes is multifactorial. While low HDL-C remains a recognized risk factor for CVD, the genetic determinants of HDL-C levels add complexity to this association. Furthermore, extremely high HDL-C levels may not exhibit the expected protective benefits and may even pose unprecedented cardiovascular risks. A comprehensive understanding of these dynamics is essential for advancing our knowledge of CVD risk assessment and developing targeted therapeutic interventions. Further studies are needed to unravel the intricacies of HDL-C's role in cardiovascular health and disease.

Abstract
AIMS Several particular characteristics of patients with congenital heart disease could affect lipid levels. The objectives of this study were: a) to analyze the prevalence of dyslipidemia in congenital heart disease patients; 2) to compare lipid levels between congenital heart disease patients and a control group. DATA SYNTHESIS This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD42023432041). A literature search was performed to detect studies that have reported lipid levels or the prevalence of dyslipidemia in congenital heart disease patients. We performed a qualitative analysis (studies that reported dyslipidemia prevalence) and quantitative analysis (studies that compared lipid values between congenital heart disease patients and controls). In total, 29 observational studies involving 22,914 patients with congenital heart disease and 641,086 controls were eligible for this review. The reported presence of "hyperlipidemia" or "dyslipidemia" ranged from 14.3% to 69.9%. When studies analyzed lipid variables dichotomously between congenital heart disease patients and controls, the results were conflicting. The quantitative analysis showed that patients with congenital heart disease have lower levels of total cholesterol (MD: -18.9 [95% CI: -22.2 to -15.7]; I2 = 93%), LDL-C (MD: -10.7 [95% CI: -13.1 to -8.3]; I2 = 90%) and HDL-C (MD: -6.3 [95% CI: -7.7 to -4.9]; I2 = 95%) compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS The qualitative analysis showed some concerns, but the quantitative analysis indicates that congenital heart disease patients showed lower levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C compared to controls. New research should be developed to clarify this relevant topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate associations between fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (FHR) of mothers and the risk of delivering large/small for gestational age (LGA/SGA) infants and to evaluate the predictive power of FHR on LGA/SGA. METHODS This study retrospectively reviewed 11,657 consecutive women whose lipid profiles and FDP levels were investigated at the time of admission for delivery at a specialized hospital. The FHR was calculated, and perinatal outcomes, including clinical parameters, were analyzed. RESULTS The prevalence of SGA was 9% (n = 1034), and that of LGA was 15% (n = 1806) in this cohort study. FHR was significantly lower in women who delivered SGA infants (4.0 ± 3.2 vs. 4.7 ± 3.3 mg/mmol, P < 0.01) and higher in women who delivered LGA infants (5.7 ± 3.8 vs. 4.7 ± 3.3 mg/mmol, P < 0.01) compared with those who delivered infants of normal size for their gestational age. Women in the top quartile for FHR (> 5.9 mg/mmol) had a 2.9-fold higher risk of delivering LGA infants [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 2.9, P < 0.01] and a 47% lower risk of delivering SGA infants (adjusted OR = 0.47, P < 0.01) than those in the bottom quartile (< 2.7 mg/mmol). In addition, adding FHR to the conventional models significantly improved the area under the curve for the prediction of delivering LGA (0.725 vs. 0.739, P < 0.01) and SGA (0.717 vs. 0.727, P < 0.01) infants. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that the FHR calculated in late pregnancy is an innovative predictor of delivering LGA and SGA infants. Combining FHR with perinatal parameters could thus enhance the predictive ability for predicting the delivery of LGA/SGA infants.

Abstract
Background and aims To systematically investigate all relevant evidence on the association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and multiple myeloma (MM). Methods We searched PubMed and Cochrane library databases (up to 20 September 2022) for studies with evidence on HDL-C in patients with MM. A qualitative synthesis of published prospective and retrospective studies for the role of HDL-C and other lipid profile parameters in MM was performed. Additionally, a meta-analysis on HDL-C mean differences (MD) between MM cases and controls was performed. Results Fourteen studies (3 prospective, 11 retrospective) including 895 MM patients were eligible for this systematic review. Ten studies compared HDL-C levels in MM patients with healthy controls. In these 10 studies (n = 17,213), pooled analyses showed that MM patients had significantly lower HDL-C levels compared to healthy controls (MD: -13.07 mg/dl, 95% CI: -17.83, -8.32, p < 0.00001). Regarding secondary endpoints, total cholesterol (TC) (MD: -22.19 mg/dl, 95% CI: -39.08, -5.30) and apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) (-40.20 mg/dl, 95% CI: -55.00, -25.39) demonstrated significant decreases, while differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (MD: -11.33 mg/dl, 95% CI: -36.95, 14.30) and triglycerides (MD: 9.93 mg/dl, 95% CI: -3.40, 23.26) were not shown to be significant. Conclusions HDL-C, as well as TC and apoA-I, levels are significantly decreased in MM. Hence, lipid profile parameters should be taken into account when assessing such patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant disease characterized by a single clonal proliferation of B cell-derived plasma cells in the bone marrow. It is the second most common haematologic malignancy in adults. The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of haematologic parameters in MM. METHODS The difference of NLR/ALB ratio (NAR) and NLR/HDL-C ratio (NHR) between the 151 newly diagnosed MM patients and 153 healthy controls was compared. According to NAR and NHR cutoff values obtained from the ROC curve, MM patients were divided into low group and high group. The differences in hematological parameters and survival time between the two groups were compared. Independent prognostic analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazard regression model. RESULTS The NAR and NHR values in MM group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.001). Higher NAR levels were significantly associated with lower albumin (ALB), higher β2 microglobulin(β2-MG), higher creatinine (Crea), and highe ISS stage (All P<0.05). High NHR group was significantly correlated with age , β2-MG and ISS stage (All P<0.05). In high NAR or NHR groups, OS and DFS was significantly shortened and the prognosis was poor (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that PLT, ISS stage and NAR were independent prognostic indicators of OS in MM patients, while ALB, PLT and NAR were independent prognostic factors of DFS. CONCLUSION NAR and NHR are inexpensive, readily available diagnostic indicators for MM, and NAR is an independent prognostic factor for MM.

Abstract
Background Urinary sodium was indicated to be associated with dyslipidemia, but inconsistent conclusions for this association exist across the present observational studies. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the causal association between urinary sodium and circulating lipid levels [low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] through Mendelian randomization. Methods Univariable Mendelian randomization (UVMR) and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) with pleiotropy-resistant methods were performed. Data for urinary sodium were obtained from the genome-wide association study (GWAS) from 446,237 European individuals. Data for lipid profiles were extracted from GWAS based on the UK Biobank (for the discovery analysis) and the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (for the replication analysis). Results In the discovery analysis, UVMR provided evidence that per 1-unit log-transformed genetically increased urinary sodium was associated with a lower level of HDL-C level (beta = -0.32; 95% CI: -0.43, -0.20; p = 7.25E-08), but not with LDL-C and triglycerides. This effect was still significant in the further MVMR when considering the effect of BMI or the other two lipid contents. In contrast, higher genetically predicted triglycerides could increase urinary sodium in both UVMR (beta = 0.030; 95% CI: 0.020, -0.039; p = 2.12E-10) and MVMR analyses (beta = 0.029; 95% CI: 0.019, 0.037; p = 8.13E-10). Similar results between triglycerides and urinary sodium were found in the replication analysis. Conclusion Increased urinary sodium may have weak causal effects on decreased circulating HDL-C levels. Furthermore, genetically higher triglyceride levels may have independent causal effects on increased urinary sodium excretion.

Abstract
AIM The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) on blood lipid profile. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, and EMBASE databases from the inception to July 2023 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing SGLT2i with placebo regarding lipid profile changes. The "Meta" package of R software was applied for data synthesis. RESULTS A total of 28 RCTs were included and 5192 patients participated in the present study, including 2686 patients who received SGLT2is intervention and 2506 patients who were in the control group. SGLT2is significantly increased blood low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels [mean difference (MD): 0.09 mmol/L, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.03, 0.16), 95% prediction interval (PI) (-0.06, 0.24), P = 0.0046] and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels [MD: 0.08 mmol/L, 95% CI (0.06, 0.11), 95% PI (-0.00, 0.17), P < 0.0001]. However, we observed neutral effect of SGLT2is on total cholesterol (TC) [MD: 0.08 mmol/L, 95% CI (-0.08, 0.24), 95% PI (-0.24, 0.40), P = 0.3150] and triglyceride (TG) [MD: -0.03 mmol/L, 95% CI (-0.23, 0.16), 95% PI (-0.70, 0.63), P = 0.7382]. CONCLUSION Our study determined that SGLT2is increase both LDL-C and HDL-C levels, but exerts not significant effect on TC and TG levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of ischaemic heart failure (HF) continues to increase. Diabetes mellitus (DM) concomitant with ischaemic HF increases the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). As a promising predictor for cardiovascular diseases, the predictive value of the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) for MACE in the ischaemic HF with DM cohort has never been investigated before. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the MHR as a predictor for MACE in ischaemic HF patients with DM who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS This observational study enrolled 1049 patients with ischaemic HF and DM undergoing PCI from June 2017 to June 2019. The baseline data were collected. MACEs, including all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and any revascularization, were recorded within the 36-month follow-up. The characteristics and incidence of MACE were analysed in four groups stratified by the quartiles of MHR. The hazard ratio for MACE was analysed with Cox regression models. The incidence of MACE in the four groups was evaluated by Kaplan‒Meier survival analysis. Restricted cubic spline analysis was performed to determine the nonlinear correlation between the MHR and MACE. RESULTS After the 36-month follow-up, 407 patients (38.8%) experienced MACEs. The incidence of MACE was significantly higher among patients in the upper MHR quartile than among those in the lower MHR quartiles (23.4% vs. 36.0% vs. 41.4% and 54.6%; P < 0.001, respectively), which was consistent with the Kaplan‒Meier survival analyses (P < 0.0001). A multivariate Cox regression model showed that the MHR was an independent risk factor for MACE after variables were adjusted (adjusted HR: 2.11; 95% CI 1.47-3.03; P < 0.001). Its predictive effects on MACE showed no interaction with hypercholesterolemia (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The MHR was a significant and independent predictor of MACEs in ischaemic HF patients with DM undergoing PCI.

Abstract
Aims Metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) is associated with high risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, irrespective of statin therapy. In the overall REDUCE-IT study of statin-treated patients, icosapent ethyl (IPE) reduced the risk of the primary composite endpoint (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization) and the key secondary composite endpoint (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke). Methods and results REDUCE-IT was an international, double-blind trial that randomized 8179 high CV risk statin-treated patients with controlled LDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides, to IPE 4 g/day or placebo. The current study evaluated the pre-specified patient subgroup with a history of MetSyn, but without diabetes at baseline. Among patients with MetSyn but without diabetes at baseline (n = 2866), the majority (99.8%) of this subgroup was secondary prevention patients. Icosapent ethyl use was associated with a 29% relative risk reduction for the first occurrence of the primary composite endpoint [hazard ratio: 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.59-0.84; P < 0.0001, absolute risk reduction (ARR) = 5.9%; number needed to treat = 17] and a 41% reduction in total (first plus subsequent) events [rate ratio: 0.59; (95% CI: 0.48-0.72); P < 0.0001] compared with placebo. The risk for the key secondary composite endpoint was reduced by 20% (P = 0.05) and a 27% reduction in fatal/non-fatal MI (P = 0.03), 47% reduction in urgent/emergent revascularization (P < 0.0001), and 58% reduction in hospitalization for unstable angina (P < 0.0001). Non-statistically significant reductions were observed in cardiac arrest (44%) and sudden cardiac death (34%). Conclusion In statin-treated patients with a history of MetSyn, IPE significantly reduced the risk of first and total CV events in REDUCE-IT. The large relative and ARRs observed supports IPE as a potential therapeutic consideration for patients with MetSyn at high CV risk. Registration REDUCE-IT ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT01492361.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic disorders were a health problem for many adults with congenital heart disease, however, the differences in metabolic syndrome-related metabolite levels in adults with congenital heart disease compared to the healthy population were unknown. METHODS We collected 18 studies reporting metabolic syndrome-associated metabolite levels in patients with congenital heart disease. Data from different studies were combined under a random-effects model using Cohen's d values. RESULTS The results found that the levels of total cholesterol (Cohen's d -0.68, 95% CI: -0.91 to -0.45), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Cohen's d -0.63, 95% CI: -0.89 to -0.37), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Cohen's d -0.32, 95% CI: -0.54 to -0.10) were significantly lower in congenital heart disease patients compared with controls. Congenital heart disease patients also had a lower body mass index (Cohen's d -0.27, 95% CI: -0.42 to -0.12) compared with controls. On the contrary, congenital heart disease patients had higher levels of hemoglobin A1c (Cohen's d 0.93, 95% CI: 0.17 to 1.70) than controls. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in triglyceride (Cohen's d 0.07, 95% CI: -0.09 to 0.23), blood glucose (Cohen's d -0.12, 95% CI: -0.94 to 0.70) levels, systolic (Cohen's d 0.07, 95% CI: -0.30 to 0.45) and diastolic blood pressure (Cohen's d -0.10, 95% CI: -0.39 to 0.19) between congenital heart disease patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS The lipid levels in patients with congenital heart disease were significantly lower than those in the control group. These data will help in the health management of patients with congenital heart disease and guide clinicians. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022228156.

Abstract
The potential causal association between dyslipidemia and brain structures remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether circulating lipids are causally associated with brain structure alterations using Mendelian randomization analysis. Genome-wide association study summary statistics of blood lipids and brain structures were obtained from publicly available databases. Inverse-variance weighted method was used as the primary method to assess causality. In addition, four additional Mendelian randomization methods (MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode) were applied to supplement inverse-variance weighted. Furthermore, Cochrane's Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, MR-PRESSO global test, and leave-one-out analysis were performed for sensitivity analyses. After Bonferroni corrections, two causal associations were finally identified: elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level leads to higher average cortical thickness (β = 0.0066 mm, 95% confidence interval: 0.0045-0.0087 mm, P = 0.001); and elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level leads to higher inferior temporal surface area (β = 18.6077 mm2, 95% confidence interval: 11.9835-25.2320 mm2, P = 0.005). Four additional Mendelian randomization methods indicated parallel results. Sensitivity tests demonstrated the stability. Overall, the present study showed causal relationships between several lipid profiles and specific brain structures, providing new insights into the link between dyslipidemia and neurological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isthmin-1 (Ism-1) is a newly identified insulin-like adipokine that increases glucose uptake by adipocytes and inhibits hepatic lipid synthesis. Recent studies have shown that Ism-1 can improve the metabolic disorders associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improve lipid metabolism. The classic function of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is to transport cholesterol from extra-hepatic tissues to the liver for metabolism. In contrast, disorders of lipid metabolism and inflammation are the leading causes of atherosclerosis (As). Atherosclerosis often manifests as loss of elasticity, lipid accumulation, fibrous tissue proliferation and calcium deposits in the affected arteries, eventually forming plaques. AIM To illustrate the correlation between HDL-C and Ism-1 in T2DM, and the relationship between lipoprotein cholesterol and carotid plaque. METHODS A total of 128 patients with T2DM were enrolled in the study and basic information was collected. HDL-C levels were measured chemically. Serum Ism-1 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Linear regression analysis was used to assess the correlation between serum Ism-1 levels and HDL-C in patients with T2DM. Basic information was again collected from 226 patients with T2DM. Independent sample t-tests were performed to explore the relationship between carotid plaque formation and lipids. RESULTS HDL-C was divided into four groups according to quartiles and there was a between-group difference in Ism-1 (p = 0.040). Multivariable linear regression showed a negative association between Ism-1 and HDL-C in T2DM (β = -0.235, p < 0.001), even after adjusting for related factors (β = -0.165, p = 0.009). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL-C showed significant differences between the carotid plaque group and the non-carotid plaque group (pLDL-C = 0.007, pHDL-C = 0.003). CONCLUSION Serum Ism-1 and HDL-C are negatively correlated in T2DM. LDL-C is significantly higher in carotid plaque group than non-carotid plaque group, while HDL-C is significantly lower than in the non-carotid plaque group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Physical exercise decreases cardiovascular risk and can alter the lipid profile in postmenopausal women. Although it is believed that resistance training can potentially decrease serum lipid levels in postmenopausal females, the evidence remains inconclusive. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to clarify the impact of resistance training on the lipid profile in postmenopausal women. METHODS Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed/Medline and Embase were searched. RCTs that evaluated the effect of resistance training on total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels were included in this review. Effect size was estimated using the random effects model. Subgroup analyses based on age, duration of intervention, pre-enrolment serum lipid levels and body mass index were performed. RESULTS Data pooled from 19 RCTs revealed that resistance training can reduce TC [weighted mean difference (WMD) -11.47 mg/dl; p = 0.002], LDL-C (WMD -8.48 mg/dl; p = 0.01) and TG (WMD -6.61 mg/dl; p = 0.043) levels. TC levels decreased particularly in subjects aged < 60 years (WMD -10.77 mg/dl; p = 0.003), in RCTs lasting < 16 weeks (WMD -15.70 mg/dl; p = 0.048), and in subjects with hypercholesterolaemia (WMD -12.36 mg/dl; p = 0.001) or obesity (WMD -19.35 mg/dl; p = 0.006) before RCT enrolment. There was a significant decrease in LDL-C (WMD -14.38 mg/dl; p = 0.002) levels in patients with LDL-C ≥ 130 mg/dl before trial enrolment. Resistance training reduced HDL-C (WMD -2.97 mg/dl; p = 0.01) levels particularly in subjects with obesity. TG (WMD -10.71 mg/dl; p = 0.01) levels decreased particularly when the intervention lasted < 16 weeks. CONCLUSION Resistance training can decrease TC, LDL-C and TG levels in postmenopausal females. The impact of resistance training on HDL-C levels was small, and was only observed in individuals with obesity. The effect of resistance training on the lipid profile was more notable in short-term interventions and in postmenopausal women with dyslipidaemia or obesity before trial enrolment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been widely reported that the use of probiotics has beneficial effects on the prevention and treatment of a wide range of human diseases. Previous clinical trials have investigated the effect of probiotics on oxLDL, but the results are controversial. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials to assess the effect of probiotic consumption on oxLDL levels. METHOD A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus using the appropriate search strategy. After the screening, seven studies comparing the effects of probiotic consumption with the control were included in the analysis. A random-effects analysis was used to estimate the overall effect size. RESULTS Probiotic supplementation significantly reduced oxLDL (Hedge's: -1.18; 95% CI:-1.85, -0.52) compared to the control group. Subgroup analysis showed that reduction was greater in the unhealthy group compared to healthy subjects (-2.05 vs. -0.84). The results also showed that probiotic supplementation reduced TC by -14.77 mg/dl (95% CI: -24.46, -5.08), LDL-C by -10.03 mg/dl (95% CI: -16.05, -4.001), LDL-C/HDL-C ratio by -0.37 (95% CI: -0.66, 0.07), and TG by -14.86 mg/dl (95% CI: -23.45, -6.28) but the effects on HDL-C and glucose were not significant. CONCLUSION In this study, probiotic supplementation was found to improve oxLDL concentrations and have favorable effects on lipid profiles, but no significant positive effect on HDL-C and glucose was reported. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to the low number of included studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the literature, scarce data investigate the link between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and blood lipids in the osteoporosis (OP) population. 25(OH)D, as a calcium-regulating hormone, can inhibit the rise of parathyroid hormone, increase bone mineralization to prevent bone loss, enhance muscle strength, improve balance, and prevent falls in the elderly. This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D levels and lipid profiles in patients with osteoporosis, with the objective of providing insight for appropriate vitamin D supplementation in clinical settings to potentially reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, which is known to be a major health concern for individuals with osteoporosis. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study from the Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University, including 2063 OP patients who received biochemical blood analysis of lipids during hospitalization from January 2015 to March 2022. The associations between serum lipids and 25(OH)D levels were examined by multiple linear regression. The dependent variables in the analysis were the concentrations of serum lipoprotein, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), apolipoprotein-A, lipoprotein A, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). The independent variable was the concentration of blood serum 25(OH)D. At the same time, age, body mass index, sex, time and year of serum analysis, primary diagnosis, hypertension, diabetes, statins usage, beta-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide were covariates. Blood samples were collected in the early morning after the overnight fasting and were analyzed using an automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay on the LABOSPECT 008AS platform (Hitachi Hi-Tech Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The generalized additive model was further applied for nonlinear associations. The inception result for smoothing the curve was evaluated by two-piecewise linear regression exemplary. RESULTS Our results proved that in the OP patients, the serum 25(OH)D levels were inversely connected with blood TGs concentration, whereas they were positively associated with the HDL, apolipoprotein-A, and lipoprotein A levels. In the meantime, this research also found a nonlinear relationship and threshold effect between serum 25(OH)D and TC, LDL-C. Furthermore, there were positive correlations between the blood serum 25(OH)D levels and the levels of TC and LDL-C when 25(OH)D concentrations ranged from 0 to 10.04 ng/mL. However, this relationship was not present when 25(OH)D levels were higher than 10.04 ng/mL. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrated an independent relationship between blood lipids and vitamin D levels in osteoporosis patients. While we cannot establish a causal relationship between the two, our findings suggest that vitamin D may have beneficial effects on both bone health and blood lipid levels, providing a reference for improved protection against cardiovascular disease in this population. Further research, particularly interventional studies, is needed to confirm these associations and investigate their underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Objective This study aims to investigate the predictive value of non-traditional blood lipid indices for metabolism dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in non-overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted, including non-overweight/obese patients with T2DM who visited the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between August 2018 and August 2022. The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, the triacylglycerol-glucose index (TyG) multiplied by body mass index (BMI), and TyG/HDL-C ratio were calculated. Results The study involved 190 participants, of whom 34 were diagnosed with MAFLD (24 males and 10 females), while 156 did not have MAFLD (64 males and 92 females). Multivariable analysis revealed that aspartate transaminase (AST) (OR=1.216, 95% CI: 1.059-1.374, P=0.006), blood uric acid (BUA) (OR=1.017, 95% CI: 1.002-1.032, P=0.022), TyG*BMI (OR=1.231, 95% CI: 1.051-1.442, P=0.010), and TyG/HDL-C (OR=3.162, 95% CI: 1.228-8.141, P=0.017) were independently associated with MAFLD. The TyG*BMI index exhibited an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.812, with 91.2% sensitivity and 69.2% specificity for MAFLD. The TyG/HDL-C index had an AUC of 0.929, with 85.3% sensitivity and 88.5% specificity for MAFLD. Conclusion The results indicate that TyG*BMI and TyG/HDL-C are independently associated with MAFLD in non-overweight/obese patients with T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that both lipid levels and anti-severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody levels are associated with outcome in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While both parameters have separately been implicated in the neutralization and clearance of pathogens during severe infections, it is currently unclear whether the interplay of these parameters affects outcome in COVID-19. We therefore aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between lipoproteins, anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and COVID-19 mortality. METHODS In this prospective, multicenter cohort study, we recruited 1152 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 from five hospitals. Total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies were measured on hospital admission. The investigated endpoint was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC were significantly lower in non-survivors than in survivors (mg/dL, 95%CI; 56.1, 50.4-61.8 vs. 72.6, 70.2-75.0, p < 0.001; 34.2, 31.7-36.8 vs. 38.1, 37.2-39.1, p = 0.025; 139.3, 130.9-147.7 vs. 157.4, 54.1-160.6, p = 0.002). Mortality risk increased progressively with lower levels of LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC (aOR 1.73, 1.30-2.31, p < 0.001; 1.44, 1.10-1.88, p = 0.008; 1.49, 1.14-1.94, p < 0.001). Mortality rates varied between 2.1% for high levels of both LDL-C and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and 16.3% for low levels of LDL-C and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (aOR 9.14, 95%CI 3.17-26.34, p < 0.001). Accordingly, for total cholesterol and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, mortality rates varied between 2.1% and 15.0% (aOR 8.01, 95%CI 2.77-23.18, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The combination of serum lipid levels and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies is strongly associated with in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19. Patients with low levels of LDL-C and total cholesterol combined with low levels of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies exhibited the highest mortality rates.

Abstract
Identifying population-specific genetic variants associated with disease and disease-predisposing traits is important to provide insights into the genetic determinants of health and disease between populations, as well as furthering genomic justice. Various common pan-population polymorphisms at CETP associate with serum lipid profiles and cardiovascular disease. Here, sequencing of CETP identified a missense variant rs1597000001 (p.Pro177Leu) specific to Māori and Pacific people that associates with higher HDL-C and lower LDL-C levels. Each copy of the minor allele associated with higher HDL-C by 0.236 mmol/L and lower LDL-C by 0.133 mmol/L. The rs1597000001 effect on HDL-C is comparable with CETP Mendelian loss-of-function mutations that result in CETP deficiency, consistent with our data, which shows that rs1597000001 lowers CETP activity by 27.9%. This study highlights the potential of population-specific genetic analyses for improving equity in genomics and health outcomes for population groups underrepresented in genomic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia is considered a causal risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke. Plant-based diets such as dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effects of the DASH diet on lipid profiles based on clinical controlled trials. METHODS An inclusive online search was performed in medical databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar up to October 2021 to identify trials assessing the effect of the DASH diet on lipid profiles. RESULTS Seventeen studies comprising 2218 individuals were included in this meta-analysis. In comparison to the control group, following the DASH diet resulted in a significant reduction in serum triglycerides (WMD: -5.539 mg/dl; 95% CI: -8.806, -2.272) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (WMD: -6.387 mg/dl; 95% CI: -12.272, -0.501). However, DASH diet could not reduce serum total cholesterol (WMD: -5.793 mg/dl; 95% CI: -12.84, 1.254), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (WMD: 0.631 mg/dl; 95% CI: -0.749, 2.011), and total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (WMD: -0.11 mg/dl; 95% CI: -0.27, 0.05). CONCLUSION Findings of this meta-analysis showed that following the DASH diet had beneficial effects on serum triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, however, it had no effect on serum total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. Based on these results, the DASH diet can be considered a strategy for the prevention and complementary management of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies have shown an association between abnormal lipid profiles and MDD, but there are few studies on the clinical correlates of lipid abnormalities in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of abnormal lipid metabolism and its correlates in Chinese first-episode and drug-naïve MDD patients, which has not yet been reported. METHODS A total of 1718 outpatients with first-episode and drug-naïve MDD were included. Demographic data were collected by a standardized questionnaire and blood lipid levels were measured, including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein (HDL-C). The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) positive subscale, and Clinical Global Impression of Severity Scale (CGI-S) were assessed for each patient. RESULTS The prevalence of abnormal lipid metabolism was 72.73% (1301/1718), and the rates of high TC, high TG, high LDL-C and low HDL-C were 51.05% (877/1718), 61.18% (1051/1718), 30.09% (517/1718), 23.40% (402/1718), respectively. Logistic regression showed the risk factors for abnormal lipid metabolism were severe anxiety, HAMD score, CGI-S score, BMI and systolic blood pressure (SBP). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age at onset, SBP, HAMD score, HAMA score, PANSS positive subscale score, and CGI-S were independently associated with TC levels. BMI, HAMD score, PANSS positive subscale score and CGI-S score were independently associated with TG levels. SBP, HAMD score, PANSS positive subscale score and CGI-S score were independently associated with LDL-C levels. Age of onset, SBP and CGI-S score were independently associated with HDL-C levels. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of abnormal lipid metabolism in first-episode and drug-naïve MDD patients is quite high. The severity of psychiatric symptoms may be closely associated with the presence of abnormal lipid metabolism in patients with MDD.

Abstract
Introduction. In recent years, cholesterol has received interest in the study of infection due to evidence of a relationship between low plasma cholesterol levels and tuberculosis (TB).Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Plasma lipid profiles of serum amyloid A (SAA), apolipoprotein A-I and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are biomarkers associated with symptomatic TB patients.Objective. We aimed to evaluate plasma lipid profiles of apolipoprotein A-I, SAA and the size of HDL as biomarkers to diagnose symptomatic TB patients.Methodology. Patients with TB symptoms attending the Instituto Brasileiro para a Investigação da Tuberculose/Fundação José Silveira (IBIT/FJS) between September 2015 and August 2016 for diagnosis of TB were studied. From 129 patients, 97 were classified as pulmonary TB and 32 as negative-bacilloscopy (non-TB group). Medical history, fasting serum and plasma were obtained. Total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, apolipoprotein A-I and SAA were measured by enzymatic or immunochemical reaction assays. HDL size was measured by laser light-scattering.Results. In TB patients, TC (147.0±37 vs. 168±44 mg dL-1), HDL-C (37±14 vs. 55±18 mg dL-1) and apolipoprotein A-I (102±41 vs. 156±47 mg dL-1) concentrations were lower (P<0.0001), while HDL particle size (10.16±1.02 vs. 9.62±0.67 nm) and SAA levels (280±36 vs. 19±8 mg L-1) were higher (P<0.0001). Using receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis for predicting TB, the cutoff values were <83.85 mg L-1 for SAA (sensitivity=96.88 %, specificity=78.43 %, P<0.0001), >44.50 mg dL-1 for HDL-C (sensitivity=75 %, specificity=72.16 %, P<0.001) and >118.5 mg dL-1 for apolipoprotein A-I (sensitivity=83.83 %, specificity=72.22 %, P<0.001).Conclusion. SAA, HDL-C and apolipoprotein A-I are associated with TB infection and could be used as laboratory biomarkers, especially in patients who are negative for alcohol-acid-resistant bacilli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a potential risk marker of coronary atherosclerosis that has high specificity and sensitivity. However, the association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration and CAC incidence and progression is controversial. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were systematically searched to identify relevant observational studies up to March 2023 and assessed the methodological quality using Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) scale. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to estimate pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval considering heterogeneity across studies. RESULTS Of the 2,411 records, 25 cross-sectional (n = 71,190) and 13 cohort (n = 25,442) studies were included in the systematic review. Ten cross-sectional and eight cohort studies were not eligible and were omitted from the meta-analysis. A total of 15 eligible cross-sectional studies (n = 33,913) were included in the meta-analysis and pooled results revealed no significant association between HDL-C and CAC > 0, CAC > 10, or CAC > 100 [pooled OR: 0.99 (0.97, 1.01)]. Meta-analysis of the 5 eligible prospective cohort studies (n = 10,721) revealed no significant protective effect of high HDL-C against CAC > 0 [pooled OR: 1.02 (0.93, 1.13)]. CONCLUSIONS According to this analysis of observational studies, high HDL-C levels were not found to predict protection against CAC. These results suggest HDL quality rather than HDL quantity is important for certain aspects of atherogenesis and CAC. REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021292077.

Abstract
Previous research has suggested that high serum ferritin (SF) levels may be associated with dyslipidemia. This study investigated the association between SF levels and dyslipidemia in American adults, which held relevance for both clinical and public health areas concerned with screening and prevention. Data from the pre-pandemic National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), conducted between 2017 and 2020, were utilized for this analysis. Multivariate linear regression models were used to explore the correlation between lipid and SF concentrations, and the connection between SF and the four types of dyslipidemia was further assessed by using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Odds ratios (ORs; 95% CI) for dyslipidemia were calculated for quartiles of SF concentrations, with the lowest ferritin quartile as the reference. The final subjects consisted of 2676 participants (1290 males and 1386 females). ORs for dyslipidemia were the highest in the fourth quartile (Q4) of SF both in males (OR: 1.60, 95% CI: 1.12-2.28) and females (OR: 1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17). The crude ORs (95% CI) for the risk of High TC and High LDL-C increased progressively in both genders. However, after adjusting for covariates, the trend of significance was only present in females. Finally, the association between total daily iron intake and the four types of dyslipidemia was examined, revealing that the risk of High TG in the third quartile of the total daily iron intake was 2.16 times greater in females (adjusted OR: 3.16, 95% CI: 1.38-7.23). SF concentrations were remarkably associated with dyslipidemia. In females, daily dietary iron intake was associated with High-TG dyslipidemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Changes of serum lipoprotein concentration during bacteremia or sepsis are observed and lipoproteins concentration facilitate the evaluation severity of sepsis in adults, but its clinical usage is still unclear. Here, we analyzed the lipoprotein concentration in neonates with sepsis and discussed its use in stratifying patients. METHODS This is a retrospective study involved 88 culture-proven septic patients. Clinical and microbiology data of involved patients were collected via inquiring databases of our institute. Patients were grouped according to blood culture results or procalcitonin level; the difference between groups were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with uninfected group, there is no change of triglyceride (TG) concentrations and significant decrease of Total cholesterol (TC) concentration in septic patients. There is no significant difference between Gram-positive and Gram-negative-related septic patients in terms of serum TG and TC concentration. Other than group with procalcitonin level of 0.5-2 ng/ml, both serum TG and TC concentration were decreased while serum procalcitonin level increasing. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that serum lipoprotein concentration may be recommended to help diagnosis of bacteria and to evaluate the severity of sepsis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is an immunoinflammatory pathological procedure in which lipid plaques are formed in the vessel walls, partially or completely occluding the lumen, and is accountable for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ACSVD consists of three components: coronary artery disease (CAD), peripheral vascular disease (PAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CCVD). A disturbed lipid metabolism and the subsequent dyslipidemia significantly contribute to the formation of plaques, with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) being the main responsible factor. Nonetheless, even when LDL-C is well regulated, mainly with statin therapy, a residual risk for CVD still occurs, and it is attributable to the disturbances of other lipid components, namely triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Increased plasma TG and decreased HDL-C levels have been associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and CVD, and their ratio, TG/HDL-C, has been proposed as a novel biomarker for predicting the risk of both clinical entities. Under these terms, this review will present and discuss the current scientific and clinical data linking the TG/HDL-C ratio with the presence of MetS and CVD, including CAD, PAD and CCVD, in an effort to prove the value of the TG/HDL-C ratio as a valuable predictor for each aspect of CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has already been established that the consumption of alcoholic beverages increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in dose-response. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional analysis was carried out with 6132 participants of both sexes aged between 35 and 74 years, who were active and retired workers from six Brazilian states. Heavy drinkers were categorized by sex: men > 210 g/week and women > 140 g/week; moderate drinkers: men ≤ 209 g/week and women ≤ 139 g/week. The HDL-C level was dichotomized into normal (40 mg/dL-82.9 mg/dL) and extremely high (≥83 mg/dL). We used binary logistic regression to assess associations between baseline alcohol intake and HDL-C, which were adjusted for sex, age, income, physical activity, kilocalories and body mass index (BMI), and we found an positive association between extremely high HDL-C and the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. These participants were mostly women with a high income, lower waist circumference, kilocalorie consumption and also a higher consumption in all categories of alcoholic beverages. CONCLUSION Excessive alcohol consumption was associated with a higher probability of extremely high HDL-C.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infection goes beyond acute pneumonia, as it also impacts lipid metabolism. Decreased HDL-C and LDL-C levels have been reported in patients with COVID-19. The lipid profile is a less robust biochemical marker than apolipoproteins, components of lipoproteins. However, the association of apolipoprotein levels during COVID-19 is not well described and understood. The objective of our study is to measure plasma levels of 14 apolipoproteins in patients with COVID-19 and to evaluate the relationships between apolipoprotein levels, severity factors and patient outcomes. From November to March 2021, 44 patients were recruited on admission to the intensive care unit because of COVID-19. Fourteen apolipoproteins and LCAT were measured by LC-MS/MS in plasma of 44 COVID-19 patients on admission to the ICU and 44 healthy control subjects. Absolute apolipoprotein concentrations were compared between COVID-19 patients and controls. Plasma apolipoproteins (Apo) A (I, II, IV), C(I, II), D, H, J and M and LCAT were lower in COVID-19 patients, whereas Apo E was higher. COVID-19 severity factors such as PaO2/FiO2 ratio, SO-FA score and CRP were correlated with certain apolipoproteins. Lower Apo B100 and LCAT levels were observed in non-survivors of COVID-19 versus survivors. To conclude, in this study, lipid and apolipoprotein profiles are altered in COVID-19 patients. Low Apo B100 and LCAT levels may be predictive of non-survival in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
It is well known that hypercholesterolemia in the body has pro-inflammatory effects through the formation of inflammasomes and augmentation of TLR (Toll-like receptor) signaling, which gives rise to cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the interaction between cholesterol-related lipids and acute pancreatitis (AP) has not yet been summarized before. This hinders the consensus on the existence and clinical importance of cholesterol-associated AP. This review focuses on the possible interaction between AP and cholesterol-related lipids, which include total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein (Apo) A1, from the bench to the bedside. With a higher serum level of total cholesterol, LDL-C is associated with the severity of AP, while the persistent inflammation of AP is allied with a decrease in serum levels of cholesterol-related lipids. Therefore, an interaction between cholesterol-related lipids and AP is postulated. Cholesterol-related lipids should be recommended as risk factors and early predictors for measuring the severity of AP. Cholesterol-lowering drugs may play a role in the treatment and prevention of AP with hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract
Background. An unanswered question in the field of nutrition is whether there is an association between vitamin D intake and the lipid profile in adults. We conducted this cross-sectional study in order to investigate the impact of vitamin D intake on the lipid profile of adults in the context of the 2017-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods. Serum lipids and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations and the Vitamin D intake in 2588 people aged 19 to 70 years was collected using laboratory analysis and 24-h recall, respectively. The one-way ANOVA test was used to compare quantitative variables and the chi-squared test was used to compare qualitative ones. Multivariate logistic regression for three models was performed to assess the odds ratio (OR) of high total cholesterol (TC) (>200 mg/dL), triglycerides (TG) (>150 mg/dL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (>115 mg/dL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (<40 mg/dL) and hs-CRP (>1 mg/l) based on the tertiles of dietary vitamin D (D2 + D3) intake. Results. After adjusting for age, sex, race, body mass index, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, alcohol intake, energy intake, protein intake, carbohydrate intake, fiber intake and fat intake, individuals in the tertile with the highest versus lowest vitamin D intake (>1 mcg/day vs. <0.10 mcg/day) had lower odds of displaying elevated TC, LDL-C and hs-CRP concentrations (OR 0.57; CI: 0.37 to 0.88; P-trend: 0.045, OR 0.59; CI: 0.34 to 1.01; P-trend: 0.025 and OR 0.67; CI: 0.45 to 0.99; P-trend: 0.048, respectively). Based on the results of the logistic regression, no correlation between vitamin D intake and changes in TG or HDL-C values was noted. Conclusions. Our cross-sectional study indicates that higher dietary vitamin D (D2 + D3) intake is associated with lower TC, LDL-C and hs-CRP levels. No relationship between dietary vitamin D intake and TG or HDL-C values was detected. Further large-scale randomized trials are needed to evaluate the actual association between dietary vitamin D intake and the lipid profile.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of phytochemicals on lipid parameters in patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception up to October 2021 to recognize randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of phytochemicals on lipid profiles in patients with HTG. Forty-eight RCTs including 53 arms and comprising 3,478 HTG patients met the eligibility criteria. Phytochemicals significantly reduced the serum levels of triglycerides in 32 out 53 arms, total cholesterol in 22 out of 51, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 21 out of 48, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 1 out of 5, apolipoprotein B in 2 out of 4, and lipoprotein(a) levels in 2 out of 4 arms. Furthermore, phytochemicals supplementation increased the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 15 out of 48 arms. In brief, phytochemicals supplementation might have beneficial effects on HTG. In most of the studies, phytochemicals had a favorable effect on at least one of the lipid parameters.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to study caffeine's effect on the cardiometabolic markers of the metabolic syndrome and to evaluate caffeine's application as a potential therapeutic agent in rat models. The systematic review was structured and synthesized according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and the Population, Intervention, comparator, outcome (PICO) framework. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect to identify studies that used caffeine as an intervention in the rat model of the metabolic syndrome or any of its components compared with no treatment or controls. Studies that did not mention the disease manifestations from the experimental model used, without rat subjects, and which induced renovascular hypertension were excluded. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory Animal Experimentation risk-of-bias tool. The main outcomes assessed were caffeine's effect on obesity, dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, hepatic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and hypertension. Out of 228 studies retrieved from the search, 18 met our inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. Caffeine was found to favorably reduce obesity and insulin resistance in the rat model of the metabolic syndrome. The effects of caffeine on dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, hepatic dysfunction, and hypertension remain inconclusive. The main limitations of this study are the heterogeneity of the included studies in terms of the disease model used, experimental duration, methods to assess outcomes, including studies that were only published in English, measurement units used, and graphical data without and numerical mention in the results section. As a result, quantitative synthesis was unfeasible, and a qualitative descriptive synthesis was conducted; this might have led to the under characterization of caffeine's effect on metabolic syndrome and its potential as an adjuvant therapy in metabolic syndrome. Caffeine has favorable effects on the metabolic syndrome, chiefly reducing obesity and insulin resistance. Future research is encouraged to delve into caffeine's effect on dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, hepatic dysfunction, and hypertension, which is necessary if caffeine is to be used as a potential clinical adjuvant therapy to treat the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
AIMS The relationship between circulating Lutein and zeaxanthin (L/Z) concentrations, and plasma lipoproteins has been indicated by observational studies. However, the beneficial impact of L/Z administration on dyslipidemia are unclear. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effect of oral intake of L/Z on circulating total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), as well as high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. METHODS We electronically assessed all eligible interventional studies through different electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, ISI -Web of Science, and Cochrane library until Jun 2021. After identifying the quality of each included randomized controlled trials, they were evaluated by assessing the risk-difference between treatment and control groups by pooling available data on net change of serum LDL-C, HDL-C, and Cholesterol. RESULTS L/Z supplementation has null effect on circulating levels of TC (WMD: -3.82 95% CI: -13.83, 6.18; I-square: 85.2%), and LDL-C (WMD: -4.54; 95% CI: -11.5, 2.48; I-square: 83.9%). In contrast, L/Z treatment could significantly increase HDL-C levels in older adults (WMD: 4.06; 95% CI: 0.64, 7.48; I-square: 50.7%). CONCLUSION L/Z administration could be an effective treatment for improving circulating HDL-C concentration in elderly adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE Monocyte/HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker that is used as a prognostic factor for cardiovascular diseases and has been studied in many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of inflammatory factors in schizophrenia patients by examining MHR levels and to compare schizophrenia patients and healthy controls in terms of cardiovascular disease risk. METHOD A total of 135 participants between the ages of 18-65, 85 diagnosed with schizophrenia, and 50 healthy individuals in the control group were included in this cross-sectional study. Venous blood samples were taken from the participants and CBC parameters and lipid profiles were analyzed. The sociodemographic and clinical data form and positive and negative symptoms scale (PANSS) were administered to all participants. RESULTS Although monocyte levels were significantly higher in the patient group, HDL-C levels were lower at significant levels. MHR was found to be higher in the patient group compared to the control group at significant levels. When compared to the control group, total cholesterol, triglyceride, WBC, neutrophil, basophil, and platelet levels were higher in the patient group at significant levels, and RBC, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels were significantly lower. CONCLUSION The elevated MHR in patients with schizophrenia may contribute to our understanding that inflammation plays important roles in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Additionally, knowing the levels of MHR and considering the recommendations, such as diet and exercise, in the treatment approaches made us think that it might be beneficial in protecting schizophrenia patients against cardiovascular diseases and early death.

Abstract
The present study uses simple, innovative methods to isolate, characterize and fractionate LDL in its main components for the study of specific oxidations on them that characterize oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) status, as it causatively relates to atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. These methods are: (a) A simple, relatively time-short, low cost protocol for LDL isolation, to avoid shortcomings of the currently employed ultracentrifugation and affinity chromatography methodologies. (b) LDL purity verification by apoB100 SDS-PAGE analysis and by LDL particle size determination; the latter and its serum concentration are determined in the present study by a simple method more clinically feasible as marker of CVD risk assessment than nuclear magnetic resonance. (c) A protocol for LDL fractionation, for the first time, into its main protein/lipid components (apoB100, phospholipids, triglycerides, free cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters), as well as into LDL carotenoid/tocopherol content. (d) Protocols for the measurement, for the first time, of indicative specific LDL component oxidative modifications (cholesteryl ester-OOH, triglyceride-OOH, free cholesterol-OOH, phospholipid-OOH, apoB100-MDA, and apoB100-DiTyr) out of the many (known/unknown/under development) that collectively define oxLDL status, which contrasts with the current non-specific oxLDL status evaluation methods. The indicative oxLDL status markers, selected in the present study on the basis of expressing early oxidative stress-induced oxidative effects on LDL, are studied for the first time on patients with end stage kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis, selected as an indicative model for atherosclerosis associated diseases. Isolating LDL and fractionating its protein and main lipid components, as well as its antioxidant arsenal comprised of carotenoids and tocopherols, paves the way for future studies to investigate all possible oxidative modifications responsible for turning LDL to oxLDL in association to their possible escaping from LDL's internal antioxidant defense. This can lead to studies to identify those oxidative modifications of oxLDL (after their artificial generation on LDL), which are recognized by macrophages and convert them to foam cells, known to be responsible for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that lead to the various CVDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dyslipidemia/hyperlipidemia are among the risk factors for chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular diseases. Red Yeast Rice (RYR) herbal supplement may be helpful in improving serum fat levels due to some mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of RYR consumption on total serum cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels in adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Four comprehensive databases (SCOPUS, PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were employed until 23 December 2021 RCTs, with 24 treatment arms included after screening 3623 articles. RESULTS Pooled data showed significant effectiveness in lowering TC (WMD: -33.16 mg/dl, 95% CI: -37.69, -28.63, P < 0.001), LDL-C (WMD: -28.94 mg/dl, 95% CI: -32.90, -24.99, P < 0.001), and TG (WMD: -23.36 mg/dl, 95% CI: -31.30, -15.43, P < 0.001) concentration and increasing HDL-C concentration (WMD: 2.49 mg/dl, 95% CI: 1.48, 3.49, P < 0.001) following RYR supplementation. Furthermore, the effect of this herbal drug in doses less than 1200 mg and with an intervention duration of less than 12 weeks was more in individuals with dyslipidemia. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this comprehensive article and meta-analysis showed that RYR significantly decreases TC, TG, and LDL-C as well as increases HDL-C.
