High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) carry proportionally more protein than cholesterol. They carry cholesterol in the blood back to the liver to be recycled or for disposal. For this reason, HDL cholesterol is considered “good cholesterol.” The USDA, American Heart Association and other health agenci...
Nutrients Those absorbed by the digestive tract are transported in the blood plasma. These include glucose, amino acids, fats, cholesterol, phospholipids, vitamins and minerals. Gases Some oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported by plasma. Plasma also contains a substantial amount of dissolved nitrog...
In both genders, alcohol consumption was associated with elevated levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (men: both p less than 0.001; women: p = 0.05 and 0.01 respectively) and of HDL cholesterol (men and women: p less than 0.001). Coffee consumption was unrelated to either blood ...
Results are presented here on the relationship, in a large city in the Federal Republic of Germany, between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) or the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio (HDL-C/TC) and the variables smoking, alcohol consumption, Body Mass Index (BMI), and age. The strength of eac...
High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), the so-called "good" cholesterol improves blood glucose levels by enhancing skeletal muscle function and reducing adiposity, scientists of the Helmholtz Zentrum München report in the current issue of the Ameri
Abstract: In a cardiovascular survey of 928 men and women aged exactly 30, 40, 50 & 60 years, a correlation between serum cholesterol, cholesterol/HDL-ratio and arterial blood pressure was found. This correlation was indirectly caused by mutual correlations to relative weight and age as a ...
Obesity is linked to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and more. It can increase LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) and lower HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol). It can also raise blood pressure. A weight loss of as little as 5% to 10% of your excess body weight can...
According to the US government and prominent health associations, total blood cholesterol should be less than 200 milligrams/deciliter, with a higher percentage ofHDL cholesterolthan LDL cholesterol. A total blood cholesterol level of 200 to 239mg/dL is considered to be borderline high, while a ...

HDL cholesterol, sex, and hemoglobin exhibited higher relative importance scores than other features used in model training. (D) The model trained on 23 parameters achieved an F1 score of 0.67 and an accuracy of 0.84. Note High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL...
