LDLis known as the “bad” cholesterol because having too much LDL may cause a buildup of plaque in your blood vessels. Triglycerides are also a type of fat found in your blood. High triglycerides, low HDL, and/or high LDL numbers can increase your risk for heart attack and stroke. Wha...
Not only does the total cholesterol number need to be normal but HDL and LDL numbers need to be in the appropriate range. Normal total cholesterol associated with a high LDL may still increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Triglyceride levels also need to be controlled. Total cholester...

When you get your cholesterol checked, you have a blood test called a lipoprotein profile. Your total blood cholesterol is made up of several numbers, including HDL and LDL. The numbers for cholesterol measured in the blood represent milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL). ...
Looking at the ratio between total cholesterol and “good” cholesterol is another way to look at cholesterol levels. You want the “good” to be a higher amount of the total. You should try to keep your cholesterol ratio below 5, but lower numbers are even better. Cholesterol/HDL ratio ...
Lose weightWeight loss is almost always accompanied by improved cholesterol numbers, including increased HDL. Don’t smokeSmoking has been shown to lower HDL while raising LDL cholesterol. Avoid trans fatProcessed, trans fats simultaneously raise LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol, vastly increasi...
Results: H5 slightly and L5 moderately reduced cell viability, while their combination significantly decreased both cell numbers and viability (Figures A and B). In contrast, H1 and L1 increased cell numbers compared to PBS control (Figure C). Lipidomic analysis revealed that H5 and L5 have ...
The HDL field is also anxiously awaiting results from multiple clinical trials aimed at raising HDL-C levels through inhibition of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), a lipoprotein-associated protein responsible for the transfer of CEs from HDL to LDL. Torceptrapib and dalcetrapib, both ...
The co-primary endpoint was LDL and HDL cholesterol at four months. From Science Daily For decades, primary physicians and cardiologists have focused on two numbers: LDL or low-density lipoproteins, known as “bad cholesterol,” and HDL or high-density lipoproteins, aka “good cholesterol.” Fr...
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.High levels of LDL can build up within the walls of the blood vessels over time. This narrows the passageways. Sometimes a clot forms and gets stuck in the narrowed space. This causes a heart attack or stroke. This is why LDL cholesterol also is ...
