Did your lab results came back with "high cholesterol"? Don't panic cholesterol is no longer the villain. Here are some life style changes you can make to make that hearth strong and healthy
Widmaier EP, Gornstein ER, Hennessey JL, Bloss JM, Greenberg JA, and Kunz TH. High plasma cholesterol, but low triglycerides and plaque-free arteries, in Mexican free-tailed bats. Am J Physiol Regulatory Integrative Comp Physiol 271: R1101-R1106, 1996....
Cholesterol in small quantities is necessary for the body to function properly, but the liver is able to synthesize about 1,000 mg of cholesterol a day, which is all the body needs. However, because cholesterol is found in animal products- meat, fish, shellfish, egg yolks, and dairy produ...
HDL is the "good" cholesterol that keeps LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, down, according to the American Heart Association. Too much LDL cholesterol can cause deposits known as plaque to build up in the blood vessels, which causes a decrease the amount of blood and oxygen going to the heart....
6.But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed,says Moti Kashyap,who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach,California.When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver,they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process.So inhibiting CETP,...
VLDL like LDL has been associated with plaque deposits. Triglycerides (a type of fat) may increase cholesterol-containing plaques if levels of LDL are high and HDL is low. Total cholesterol score is the sum of HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and 20% of triglycerides as determined by a ...
For women, the higher their cholesterol is, the longer their life; there’s a direct relationship between the two. Your cholesterol cannot be too high if you are a woman, but it can certainly be too low. — Jimmy Moore 41 Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by dia...

Conversely, trimethylamine-N-oxide, formed through the microbial breakdown of choline to trimethylamine after metabolism in the liver, will induce inflammation and atherosclerosis via inhibition of cholesterol transport and promotion of macrophage cholesterol accumulation by modulating scavenger receptor ...
Consumption of a single HFM, but not an ICM, resulted in a significant increase in circulating concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids (Table 2), findings that are in line with what has previously been reported [15]. In addition, the HFM resulted in a reducti...
