Epidemiological studies and clinical trials indicate conclusively that high serum cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and that lowering cholesterol levels reduces the risk .The three major sizes of lipoprotein particles in which cholesterol circulates in the plasma are: very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Several large epidemiological studies suggest that for each 1 mg.dL‑1 increase in HDL-C, there is an accompanying 2% decrease in coronary heart disease risk in men and a 3% decrease in women. A low LDL-C level does not eliminate the risk impacted by a low HDL-C but a high HDL-C appears to offset some of the risk of a high LDL-C. HDL-C is the “garbage trucks” of the blood system, collecting cholesterol and dumping it into the liver. HDL-C plays a critical role in reverse cholesterol transport. It may retard atherogenesis by maintaining endothelial function The top journals are peer reviewed scholarly journals. These provide high quality, meticulously reviewed and rapid publication, to cater the insistent need of scientific community. These journals are indexed with all their citations noted. The top open access journals are indexed in MEDLINE, PUBMED, SCOPUS, COPERNICUS, CAS, EBSCO and ISI.
