Casella-Filho A, Casella LB, Dourado PMM, Dourado LA, Roever L and Chagas ACP

HDL plasma levels are associated with cardiovascular risk. Intense lifestyle modification may change HDL concentration. The aim of this article is to show the dissociation of HDL-C plasma levels and HDL functional characteristics induced by short-term exercise training, without any specific diet, in patients with the metabolic syndrome, highlighting the importance of evaluating the functional aspects of the lipoproteins besides their plasma levels.
