ALWAYS SetTWe IN TH6 WAY,
the study in Wednesday 1
Journal of the American Medic;
Association.
While some existing med
ernes target HDL, most cow
tional tlrug treatment works
reducing levels of LDL clwl
terol, the bad kind that coc
tributes to the formation c
plaques that can clog arteo;
and lead to heart attacks.
Nissen’s study is part of
burgeoning area of research k
focuses on treatments that ras
HDL levels or improve
plaque-fighting abilities.
His findings stem fi
unusual discovery about 1
years ago in the nortl
Italian village of Limone
Gardia. Italian researcher
found that 40 residents the
had very low HDL levels, jt
paradoxically had low ratesi
coronary artery disease.
Lab tests revealed a likel
explanation: All had a genev*
lion in a key protein component
HDL. The variation contributed!!
larger-than-normal HDL particles,
which is believed to make HDl
cholesterol especially efficient!
removing plaque.
Scientists made a synthelit
form of the protein, which be
found to reduce plaque buildf
rapidly in mice and rabbits.
The product was first testfJ
and shown to be safe for use it
humans. This latest
experiments is the first timetls
substance has been usedtoaci
