LDL(low-density lipoproteincholesterol, also called "bad" cholesterol) In addition to thebloodtest, your doctor will perform a fullphysical exam, discussing your medical history, checking your heart rate, listening to your heartbeat, and taking yourblood pressure. If your cholesterol is found to ...
High cholesterol and high blood pressure often go hand-in-hand and can gang up on heart health, but you can rein in both sets of numbers with the same steps.
The HFD induced the increasing of the blood lipid indices To verify whether different dietary fats have different effects on blood lipids after HFD, triglycerides and three types of cholesterol (CHOL, HDL-C, LDL-C) were surveyed in the serum of mice after the fat intervention. Compared with ...
antidotes; AH, antihistamine drugs; Alb, albumin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AN, antineoplastic agents; AP, antiparasitic agents; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; AU, autonomic; BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CD4, CD4 cell count; CD4/8, CD...
Macroangiopathy was observed in 57% of patients with mainly ischemic heart disease (44%). It was significantly more frequent in patients with LDL-c greater than 1.3 g/l and hypoHDLemia less than 0.35 g/l. The proportion of uncontrolled hypertension (BP > 140/90) was 55% including 13% ...
Another component of MetS—dyslipidaemia, is characterised by increased triglyceride (TG) and/or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and decreased HDL levels. Notably, the genetic variant with the largest effect size in the above-mentioned longevity genetic meta-analysis is the ε4 allele of the...
The roles of HNF4α and GR in regulating hepatic gene expression were determined using luciferase reporter assays. Results Compared to HFHS-fed wildtype mice, HNF4α HET mice had down-regulation of lipid catabolic genes, induction of lipogenic genes, and increased hepatic and blood levels of ...
The serum samples were assayed for TG, TC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels with an Olympus AU2700 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer (Olympus Inc., Tokyo, Japan). Insulin levels were determined using commercial rat insulin enzyme-linke...
Continuous variables are compared using Student t test or analysis of variance test for overall difference; categorical variables are compared using the chi-square test. CHD = coronary heart disease; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density...
High-density lipoprotein (HDL):A type of cholesterol that helps to decrease buildup of LDL in the blood vessels; also known as "good cholesterol" Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL):Like LDL, it's also a "bad" form of cholesterol. If you fasted before your lipid panel test, higher-than...
