Article Synopsis
- The study examines the relationship between familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia, a genetic condition with very low HDL cholesterol levels, and markers of inflammation like C-reactive protein (CRP).
- Compared to healthy controls, patients had significantly lower HDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI, higher triglycerides, and elevated CRP levels, particularly in those with coronary artery disease.
- The findings suggest that low HDL levels may be linked to increased inflammatory responses, potentially worsening with the presence of coronary atherosclerosis.
