Hi All,

Further to the above, is:

Inflammation turns high density lipoprotein bad?

Since CR appears to reduce inflammation, this may

be our good news.

See the below, which is not yet in Medline and is

When good cholesterol goes bad

Alan M Fogelman

High density lipoprotein (HDL) is often called

the 'good cholesterol.' Products of an inflammatory

enzyme, myeloperoxidase, are now shown to

selectively target the main protein in HDL,

apolipoprotein A-I. This turns the 'good cholesterol' bad.
