A korábbi epidemiológiai tanulmányok eredményei azt igazolták, hogy a HDL-koleszterin a cardiovascularis megbetegedések önálló rizikófaktora, plazmaszintjének emelése a cardiovascularis prevenció egyik fontos eleme. A HDL-nek a reverz koleszterintranszportban betöltött központi szerepe mellett egyéb kedvező biológiai, az érelmeszesedés elleni védőhatása is van. Ezek közé tartozik az antioxidáns, az antiinflammatorikus, az antitrombotikus/profibrinolitikus és a vazoprotektív hatás. A jelenlegi ajánlások az agresszív életmódváltást, a niacin, a fibrátok, a statinok vagy ezek kombinációját javasolják a HDL-koleszterin-szint emelésére. Emellett számos új, a HDL-re épülő terápiás eljárás tesztelése történt meg az utóbbi években, illetve van folyamatban. Idetartoznak a nikotinsav-származékok új formái, illetve receptoragonistái, a CETP-inhibitorok, a kannabinoid-1-receptor-antagonisták, a PPAR-agonisták, az LXR/FXR receptoragonisták és az apoA1- és/vagy foszfolipidterápia. Jelen közleményünkben áttekintjük a korábbi klinikai tanulmányokat, epidemiológiai megfigyeléseket, alapkutatásokat, illetve a legfontosabb új terápiás eljárásokkal végzett klinikai vizsgálatok eredményeit.
