Elevating HDL in Mice Remodels Advanced Atherosclerotic Lesions – (11-19-01)



Elevating HDL in Mice Remodels Advanced Atherosclerotic Lesions

This is an interesting concept that needs to be followed up on. This study suggest that HDL cholesterol actually has the potential to begin to clean up some of the plaguing in arteries. This would be a remarkable achievement, and would definitely impact cardiac surgeries and procedures as well as further support the work of Dr. Dean Ornish in reversing heart disease. Remember that the medication used to lower LDLs but has a relatively small impact on raising HDL. On the other hand, exercise, monounsaturated fats (i.e. olive oil…), niacin and phytoestrogens can increase HDL levels safely.
