Platelet function and serum high density lipoproteins.
Two groups of healthy male subjects one with low (mean 1.03 mmol/l), and the other with normal (mean 1.80 mmol/l), concentrations of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in plasma were investigated. A series of in vitro platelet function tests were performed in order to investigate a possible connection between low HDL concentration, which has been defined as an independent risk factor for the occurrence of CHD, and disturbances in platelet function. No significant differences in platelet function were observed between the two groups. A positive correlation was found between platelet factor 3 activity both in platelet rich and platelet poor plasma and the plasma concentration of HDL.

Sex hormones and high density lipoproteins in healthy males.
The serum concentrations of testosterone, androstenedione, oestradiol and total low polar oestrogens, mainly oestradiol and oestrone, were measured in 26 healthy male subjects. The subjects were divided into two groups each of them with low (less than 1.04 mmol/l) and high (greater than 1.56 mmol/l) levels of serum HDL cholesterol. The group with high HDL cholesterol had significantly higher testosterone than the other group. Positive correlations were established between HDL cholesterol and testosterone and total cholesterol and testosterone concentration in serum.
