HDL (high density lipoprotein) is considered the "good" cholesterol because it may help decrease the cholesterol buildup in the walls of arteries that causes narrowing of their openings. HDL (high density lipoprotein) Less than 40 mg/dL (men), less than 50 mg/dL (women): increased risk of...
fast plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), creatinine and serum uric acid were analyzed enzymatically on an auto-analyzer (AU5421 Chemistry Analyzer, Beckman, Brea, California, ...
Since this disease has had an increasing number in Iran in the past few decades, the present study was designed to measure the level of low density iipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in subjects with cholesterol level above 200mg/dL and also to evaluate its relation with...
Cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels were measured in Indian patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the young (NIDDY). Both cholesterol and triglycerides were increased as compared with reference values. The HDL cholesterol levels were lower in cases ...
HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL AS A PREDICTOR OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MORTALITY IN MEN AND WOMEN: THE FOLLOW-UP STUDY OF THE LIPID RESEARCH CLINICS... In women, HDL cholesterol is more closely related to cardiovascular disease than is LDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is inversely related to...
“Good” oils:Some oils can be good for you.Olive oilcan help raise the level of your “good” cholesterol (HDL). Look for other vegetable-based oils: canola, soy, and sunflower. Cut down on butter in your cooking with nonfat cooking spray or non-trans-fat margarine. Try replacements ...
The recommended guidelines for HDL are 40 or above for men, 50 or above for women; forLDL, or "bad" cholesterol, you want a reading of under 100 (under 70 if you're a high-risk patient), and fortriglycerides, under 150, and ideally, in the 100 vicinity. ...
Gemfibrozil increased HDL by 6% to 33 mg/dl (0.85 mmol/l) and decreased TG by 31% to 110 mg/dl (1.25 mmol/l). However, the baseline low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) levels were higher in BIP than in VAHIT (148 versus 111 mg/dl; 3.82 versus 2.87 mmol/l). LDL levels ...
Dramatic advances have been made over the last decade in understanding the role of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and how to manage elevated levels of LDL cholesterol. Understanding the rote of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and how to intervene therapeutically...
The average HDL cholesterol level was 53.7 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Healthy levels are considered to be above 40 mg/dL for males and above 50 mg/dL for females. Participants were divided into five groups based on their HDL cholesterol levels. People with the highest levels of HDL ...
