Schmidt et al. evaluate the effects of elevated circulating concentrations of cholesterol-containing lipoproteins and apolipoproteins. Effects are seen on measures of atherosclerosis, blood pressure, c-reactive protein, coronary heart disease, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, type 2 diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease.
