| Resumen: |
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex cluster of interrelated metabolic disorders that significantly elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease, making it a pressing public health concern worldwide. Among the key features of MetS, dyslipidemia-characterized by altered levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG)-plays a crucial role in the disorder's progression. This review aims to elucidate the intricate interplay between HDL-C and TG within the context of lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health, while also addressing the detrimental impact of various cardiovascular risk factors and associated comorbidities. The dynamics of HDL-C and TG are explored, highlighting their reciprocal relationship and respective contributions to the pathophysiology of MetS. Elevated levels of TGs are consistently associated with reduced concentrations of HDL-C, resulting in a lipid profile that promotes the development of vascular disease. Specifically, as TG levels rise, the protective cardiovascular effects of HDL-C are diminished, leading to the increased accumulation of pro-atherogenic TG-rich lipoproteins and low-density lipoprotein particles within the vascular wall, contributing to the progression of atheromas, which can ultimately result in significant ischemic cardiovascular events. Ultimately, this paper underscores the significance of HDL and TG as essential targets for therapeutic intervention, emphasizing their potential in effectively managing MetS and reducing cardiovascular risk. |
