Serum high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels modify the association between plasma levels of oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein and coronary artery disease in men

We investigated the association among plasma levels of oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a case-control study. Cases (n = 183, male [M]/female [F]:138/45, age: 64.9 ± 10.6 years) were defined as patients with angiographically proven coronary atherosclerosis (≥50% stenosis) and controls were subjects with normal coronary...
