It’s calculated using a specific equation. Total cholesterol formula: HDL cholesterol + LDL cholesterol + 20% of the triglyceride level. So, if your levels are 72 HDL, 107 LDL and 120 triglyceride, that equation would look like: 40 + 116 + 24 (which is 20% of 120) = 180 total ...
If you have had a calculated LDL cholesterol test that found high triglyceride levels, doctors may order a direct LDL cholesterol test. After taking a test, you may wish to discuss the results with your physician. Here are some questions you can ask: ...
The ratio of the mRNA copy number of LDLR to that of 18s rRNA was calculated and presented. Error bars indicate SEM. Bottom: Western blot analysis of cellular LDLR protein level. U937 cells were lysed after treatment with 150 μg/ml of LDL-ICs for 2 h, and protein extract was analyzed...
All values were calculated as mean ± SEM. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). neutrophils was significantly increased over time in the control group (Fig. 4b, control: w0 compared to w2, P = 0.031; inhibition w0 compared (w4: Ki16425 to w4, P =...
The staining intensity of each IHC image was analyzed using Image J software with IHC Profiler plugin (National Institutes of Health, USA) and the optical density score of TRPV1 was calculated as follows: IHC optical density score = (percentage contribution of high positive × 4 +...
The present study was aimed to assess the validity of LDL-C values calculated by the Friedewald's formula (F-LDL-C) and those derived from Anandaraja and colleagues (A-LDL-C) and to compare them to values obtained by the direct method (D-LDL-C) in order to determine if a new formul...
Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as body weight in kilograms, divided by height squared in meters (kg/m2) [18]. 2.2.2. Laboratory Analysis Laboratory analyses were performed to investigate complete blood count (CBC), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ...
The higher LDL for taller, younger males prompted consideration of BMI and thus analysis with a GLM that calculated a least-squares mean value for LDL, as given in %Table 3. %Table 3 shows that year of screening, median age, BMI percentile, gender, and stature (first vs. fourth quartile...
The relative protein expression was calculated according to the gray values. qRT-PCR Total RNA was extracted by Trizol method, and RNA concentration and A260/A280 were detected by ultra-micro spectrophotometer (Implen, Munich, Germany). After confirming that the RNA of each sample was qualified,...
4a,b). The decrease in constriction (i.e. the AT1 receptor contribution calculated as delta AUC) was greater in uterine arteries from LOX-1tg compared to WT mice (Fig. 4c). Moreover, in arteries from WT mice (but not LOX-1tg mice), the AT1 receptor contribution (delta AUC) was ...
