Just knowing your total cholesterol isn't enough. 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 ofheart diseaseand stroke.Triglyceride leve...
A cholesterol chart: Total, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, VLDL It would be more convenient for everybody to interpret their cholesterol test results if only they could provide just one number as a result. Unfortunately, there exist multiple cholesterol types, as well as various desirable numbers for ...
and your HDL should be greater than 40 mg/dL. For teens and children 19 and younger, the LDL should be less than 110 mg/dL, while the HDL should be greater than 45 mg/dL.1

BACKGROUND: There is a primary focus in cholesterol management on the elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) component of dyslip...

(n: 297). The usefulness of serum total, LDL, non-HDL and HDL cholesterol to predict the COVID-19 prognosis (severe vs mild) was analysed. Patients with severe COVID-19 evolution had lower HDL cholesterol and higher triglyceride levels before the infection. The lipid profile measured during...
< 0.001) for both men and women during the EGG period, resulting in no alterations in the LDL-C:HDL-C or the total cholesterol:HDL-C ratios. In addition, the LDL peak diameter was increased during the EGG period for all subjects. In contrast, the measured parameters of LDL oxidation, ...
HDL3 (d = 1.125–1.21 g/ml), LDL (d = 1.019–1.05 g/ml), and acetylated LDL (acetyl-LDL) were prepared from human plasma (21, 22). HDL and HDL3 were labeled with 125I-tyramine cellobiose (125I-TC) and [3H]cholesteryl oleyl ether ([3H]CEt; Amersham) (23). Mouse peritoneal ...
2002). However, deletion of ABCA1 function in the context of genetic hyperlipidemia is not only associated with HDL deficiency but also with a significant decrease in the plasma concentration of cholesterol carried by pro-atherogenic VLDL/LDL (Aiello et al. 2002). As is also the case for ...
multivariate Cox regression analyses. In conclusion, LDL-C levels are more important than non-HDL-C levels and the discordance of LDL-C and non-HDL-C levels as predictors of MACEs in patients with stable angina after stent implantation.
