TY - JOUR AU - Qiu, Chengfeng AU - Zhao, Xiang AU - Zhou, Quan AU - Zhang, Zhen PY - 2017 DA - 2017/11/10 TI - High-density lipoprotein cholesterol efflux capacity is inversely associated with cardiovascular risk: a systematic review and meta-analysis JO - Lipids in Health and Disease SP - 212 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - A low plasma level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with cardiovascular risk. A key cardioprotective property of HDL is cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), the ability of HDL to accept cholesterol from macrophages. In this study, we aimed to identify the predictive value of CEC for cardiovascular risk. SN - 1476-511X UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12944-017-0604-5 DO - 10.1186/s12944-017-0604-5 ID - Qiu2017 ER -
