HDL cholesterol levels are measured using phosphotungstic acid/magnesium chloride reagents to precipitate the apo B–containing lipoproteins; cholesterol is enzymatically measured in the supernatant; moreover, LDL can be measured directly with enzymatic methods or can be calculated using the Friedewald formu...
HDL cholesterol in the range of 20-40 (0.5-1.0 mmol/L) may appear in isolation but is often associated with high triglyceride concentration, insulin resistance and increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, some drugs, such as beta-blockers may lower HDL cholesterol. Anabolic steroids can...
It’s calculated using a specific equation. Total cholesterol formula: HDL cholesterol + LDL cholesterol + 20% of the triglyceride level. So, if your levels are 72 HDL, 107 LDL and 120 triglyceride, that equation would look like: 40 + 116 + 24 (which is 20% of 120) = 180 total ...
Methods for estimating the cholesterol content of the plasma very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) fractions were examined in an ethnically diverse population sample from the Jerusalem Lipid Research Clinic Prevalence Study. None of these methods required the use ...
TG/HDL cholesterol ratio was calculated after dividing absolute TG levels by absolute HDL cholesterol levels. Results: Of 3,172 healthy participants, 263 (8.3%) had SBI lesions. In multivariate analysis, TG/HDL cholesterol ratio was independently associated with SBI (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = ...
Non-HDL-cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol (non-HDL-c/HDL-c) ratio is a feasible predictor for coronary heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. Patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have an increased risk of developing cardiova
Hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for age, smoking, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol and further for PF between HDL quartiles were calculated using Cox proportional survival model. Results The highest HDL quartile was associated with lower risk of CHD (HR: 0.57, 95% confidence interval ...
Estradiol GDM: Gestational diabetes mellitus HDL: High-density lipoproteins ICSI: Intracytoplasmic sperm injection IVF: In-vitro fertilization LDL: Low-density lipoproteins LH: Luteinizing hormone TC: Total cholesterol TG: Triglycerides ...
Objective This study aimed to explore the association between the triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and the severity of coronary heart disease (CHD). It also evaluated the clinical role of the TG/HDL-C ratio in predicting in-hospital CHD events and the long...
Total Cholesterol = HDL Cholesterol + LDL Cholesterol + (0.2 x Triglycerides) The total blood cholesterol, also known as serum cholesterol level, is scored depending on the danger of cardiovascular illness every cholesterol type triggers. In the United States, cholesterol levels are calculated in mi...
