Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Thyroid dysfunction is related to several lipid abnormalities. There is no consensus about concentration of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in different studies. The aim of this report is to evaluate HDL particle (HDL-P) subfractions across a spectrum of thyroid functions in a Brazilian population.
Methods: Individuals were divided into three groups by baseline thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroidism, euthyroidism, and subclinical hyperthyroidism). HDL-P subfractions were analyzed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To examine the association between HDL-P subfractions and thyroid function, we used univariate and multivariate linear regression models adjusted for demographic characteristics, comorbidities, lifestyle factors, and traditional lipid measurement (HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides).
Results: Of 3304 participants, 54.1% were women, 51.2% white, with mean age 50.6 ± 8.7 years. HDL-C and triglycerides levels (p = 0.032 and p = 0.016, respectively) were higher in the SC hypothyroid group. There were no statistically significant differences in total cholesterol levels and LDL-C levels. In univariate analysis, small HDL-P subfractions were significantly lower in subclinical hypothyroidism (p = 0.026) whereas intermediate HDL-P were higher in subclinical hyperthyroidism (p = 0.049), compared to euthyroidism. After adjustment for demographic data, SC hypothyroidism was still statistically associated with lower levels of small HDL-P. After adjusting for comorbidities, lifestyle factors, and traditional lipid measurements, SC hypothyroidism had an established association with lower levels of small HDL-P while SC hyperthyroidism was associated with lower levels of large HDL-P.
Conclusions: In this large cohort from a Brazilian population, subclinical hypothyroidism was associated with lower small HDL-P subfractions, and subclinical hyperthyroidism with lower large HDL-P subfractions and higher intermediate HDL-P subfractions.

Background: The relationships between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), HDL particle concentration (HDL-P), and HDL subspecies with the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have not been well characterized. This study aimed to examine these associations and evaluate the role of alcohol consumption as a potential confounder or effect modifier.
Methods: Data was analyzed from 4,179 individuals (mean age: 52 years; 47.

Our aim was to assess the effect of intake of anthocyanin biofortified red-fleshed apples (RFA) that of common white apples (WFA) without anthocyanins on the NMR lipoprotein subfraction profile and other NMR metabolites. Additionally, an aronia infusion (AI) arm, matching the anthocyanin content and profile of the RFA, was included. A 6-week, randomized, parallel study was conducted in hypercholesterolemic subjects ( = 121).

Large-scale gene-environment interaction (GxE) discovery efforts often involve analytical compromises for the sake of data harmonization and statistical power. Refinement of exposures, covariates, outcomes, and population subsets may be helpful to establish often-elusive replication and evaluate potential clinical utility. Here, we used additional datasets, an expanded set of statistical models, and interrogation of lipoprotein metabolism via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein subfractions to refine a previously discovered GxE modifying the relationship between physical activity (PA) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).

Article Synopsis
- Large-scale studies on gene-environment interactions often simplify outcomes and covariates to improve data consistency, which can hinder the understanding of complex relationships, such as those between physical activity and HDL cholesterol.* -
- The study refined a previously identified interaction between the rs295849 genotype and physical activity on HDL cholesterol levels, using datasets from the Women's Genome Health Study, UK Biobank, and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.* -
- Findings showed that the interaction effect was stronger when looking at medium-sized HDL particles compared to total HDL cholesterol, highlighting variations based on gender and the specific lipid metrics used.*

Article Synopsis
- Lipoprotein subfractions (LS) can help improve risk assessment for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who aren't considered high-risk, as shown in a study involving 157 patients undergoing coronary angiography.
- The study found that certain lipoprotein markers, such as total and small low-density lipoprotein particles (LDL-P) and apolipoprotein B, were positively associated with the presence and severity of obstructive CAD, while large high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL-P) and apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) showed an inverse correlation.
- Overall, specific LS measurements were effective indicators of CAD severity and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), even when adjusting for
