Blood tests measure the cardiac enzymes creatine phosphokinase or CPK, special subfractions of CPK, and troponin that are typically elevated in the blood several hours after a heart attack. ❋ Ph.D. Dede Bonner (2009)
People need to see what diet works for them and have underlying cholesterol subfractions measured: if ok stick to diet your on; if not adjust your diet; if that does not work perhaps medical intervention such as statins. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Obama-man understands that there are about 8 or more subfractions of cholesterol (not just "Good!" and "Bad!"), they act quite differently in the body, and that -- newsflash alert -- lowering cholesterol may not have much to do with lowering the risk for heart disease in the first place. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The effect on HDL is modest and appears to affect one of the HDL subfractions that are protective against heart disease. 6. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Further examination of the dietary effects on lipid variables would benefit from analyses of lipoprotein particle subfractions and follow-up of longer than 12 months. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Total cholesterol is the combined total of all the cholesterol subfractions, i.e., LDL, HDL, and VLDL. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Effect of a high saturated fat and no-starch diet on serum lipid subfractions in patients with documented atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Although not as effective at lowering LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), VLCDs consistently improve postabsorptive and postprandial triacylglycerols (TAGs), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and the distribution of LDL-C subfractions to a greater extent than low-fat diets. ❋ Unknown (2005)
The recent health studies and a large body of atmospheric chemistry and exposure data have focused attention on the need to address the two major subfractions of ❋ Unknown (1997)
The NLA panel recommends a greatly expanded role for 5 out of 6 new biomarkers- CRP, Lp-PLA2, Apo B, LDL particle number, Lpa, and HDL or LDL subfractions.

Purpose: To review published studies that reported relationships between LDL subfractions and cardiovascular outcomes.
Measures of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions have been proposed as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
LDL subfractions and incidence or severity of cardiovascular disease and in which plasma samples were collected before outcome determination.
Conclusion: Higher LDL particle number has been associated with cardiovascular disease incidence, but studies have not determined whether any measures of LDL subfractions add incremental benefit to traditional risk factor assessment.
No study evaluated the incremental value of LDL subfractions beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors or their test performance.
Other LDL subfractions were generally not associated with cardiovascular disease after adjustment for cholesterol concentrations.
