High-Density Lipoproteins: From Basic Biology to Clinical Aspects

This book meets the long-awaited need for a comprehensive overview of the biological role of HDLs. Edited by one of the pioneers of HDL and cholesterol research, and with major contributions by leading HDL researchers and clinicians from around the world, this monograph summarizes current knowledge on HDL turnover, regulation and
physiology. Clearly structured, the various sections cover HDL structure, formation, secretion and removal, as well as plasma metabolic factors. The biological activities and clinical aspects are fully discussed, as is the impact of HDL on common diseases and their prevention.

From the contents:

*HDL Structure
*HDL Plasma Metabolic Factors
