Total cholesterol doesn’t tell the whole story. As we learned above, some cholesterol proteins are heart healthy while others are not. Which means it’s possible to have unhealthy levels of “bad” cholesterol even if your total cholesterol is in the target range. High non-HDL cholesterol is...
On the other hand, smoking reduces levels of HDL cholesterol, while quitting smoking leads to a rise in the plasma HDL level. Very high levels of HDL cholesterol have been reported to be atherogenic. The mechanism of this paradoxical effect is not entirely clear.Sadhna, Sodani...
Also other factors might be involved that could have caused the reduction in blood cholesterol levels; for instance, weather conditions during the testing period might conceivably have affected these levels. Indeed, it must be concluded that the preceding testing scheme was very poorly designed for ...
HDL is the smallest and most dense lipoprotein. An elevated concentration of the major apolipoproteins of HDL-C is called hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP). How much do you know about lipids management and the role of high HDL-C levels in atherosclerosis? Test your knowledge with this quick ...
1). After processing in the bloodstream, the Very-low-density-lipoproteins (VLDLs) generate circulating LDLs, which can be taken up by peripheral cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis (Goldstein & Brown, 2009; J. Luo et al., 2020). The reduction of blood cholesterol levels can be obtained...
Everyone older than age 20 should get theircholesterol levelsmeasured at least once every five years.High cholesteroldoes not cause symptoms; so many people are unaware that theircholesterol levelsare too high. Lowering cholesterol levels that are too high lessens the risk of developing heart disease...
HDL should be 50 plus, under 35 is very risky. LDL should be below 130. Finally, VLDL should be below 30. Cholesterol levels are in the unit of mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood) in the USA. But, they can be in mmol/L (millimoles per liter) unit used in Europe, Canada...

HDL vs. LDL Cholesterol Most of the cholesterol in your body isLDL. The rest is high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or “good” cholesterol. HDL takes LDL to your liver, where it’s flushed out of your body. High HDL levels might protect against heart attacks and strokes. ...
The objective of this study was to determine the extent to which common genetic variants can explain the variation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) plasma levels in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). FH is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature...
