Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like waxy substance that the body needs to make cell membranes and perform other vital functions. HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol are fat-proteins called lipoproteins that carry cholesterol through the blood. Elevated LDL
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 ...
Cholesterol is naturally in the body; however, a diet high in fat and sugar; lack of exercise, and obesity contribute to elevated LDL or bad cholesterol levels in the blood. There are no symptoms of high cholesterol. You can lower your cholesterol with d

Our study is the first to investigate LDL and HDL distribution changes during COVID-19 using tube gel electrophoresis (Lipoprint) among patients who survived or did not survive the disease. The distribution of lipoproteins was similar regardless of patient outcome. COVID-19 brings about a modificat...
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 hospitalization...
For example, a meta-analysis of data from 14 randomized trials showed that even though LDL-C was lowered, the 5-year risk of MACE was 14% vs. 18% in the statin-treated and placebo group, respectively [29]. Another study examining the data from 62,154 patients on statin therapy, with...
Effect of LDL and oxidized LDL on selective uptake of [3H]CE from HDL Previously, we had shown that oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is a very potent inhibitor of HDL-CE association with rat parenchymal liver cells. Based on these inhibition characteristics, we suggested that SR-BI mediates the efficien...
