His fasting cholesterol is 228 mg/dl (to convert milligrams per deciliter of cholesterol [total, HDL or LDL] to micromoles per liter, divide by 39), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is 166 mg/dl, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is 32 mg/dl, triglycerides (TG) are 223 mg/dl (to convert mg/dl of triglycerides to mmol/l, divide by 89), and fasting glucose is 114 mg/dl (to convert mg/dl of glucose to mmol/l, divide by 18).

The Pawtucket Heart Study reported that physical activity was significantly associated with lower blood pressure as well as body mass index and higher HDL-cholesterol levels [ 13 ] . Moreover, among 3000 adult Japanese men frequency of physical activity was independently and positively related to HDL-cholesterol [ 14 ] . Similarly, a pooled analysis among three European cohorts consisting of a total of 402 elderly men demonstrated a significant relation of physical activity with HDL-cholesterol [ 15 ] . The same findings were observed in several studies that included only women [ 16 17 18 ] .

It is generally accepted that the hydroxy acid form of statins are potent inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, an enzyme that plays a critical role in cholesterol metabolism, where they block substrate accessibility to HMG-CoA reductase, effectively subverting cholesterol levels of HDL [ 19 20 21 ] . In addition to lowering cholesterol, statins seem to have a number of additional effects, such as the nitric oxide-mediated promotion of new blood vessel growth [ 22 ] , protection against oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein, as well as anti-inflammatory effects and a reduction in C-reactive protein levels [ 23 ] . All statins limit cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the committed step in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids and sterols [ 24 ] .
