The article focuses on several blood tests which not only measure the amount of low density lipoprotein (LDL) but also its average particle size. As stated by Paul Ziajka, a clinical lipidologist, in Vertical A
Blood samples were taken on two occasions at the end of the baseline period and on three occasions at the end of each experimental period after a 12-h fast. Plasma was separated by low speed centrifugation and immediately frozen at –70°C. All measurements were performed in one run at the...
In Dr. Patel’s premise, a high LDL-P number, in the absence of other risky indicators (TG/HDL ratio <2, fasting blood sugar, low CRP, obesity, hypertension) for metabolic syndromes, by itself, maybe of little value, since other indicators are in the safe zone. A body with low infla...

HDL has been shown to help arteries relax and to inhibit white blood cells from entering plaques (Norata & Catapano, 2005; Shah, Kaul, Nilsson, & Cercek, 2001). HDL’s antioxidant properties inhibit the oxidation of LDL. Oxidized cholesterol is associated with increased damage to the endothel...
LDL is a low-density lipoprotein that transports cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues. LDL (like all lipoproteins) facilitates the movement of fats and cholesterol within the water based solution of the blood stream. Each natural LDL particle contains a single Apo B-10...
Fasting blood samples at wk. 0 (baseline) and wk. 12 were analyzed for LDL particle size distribution and cholesterol content using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Results A total of 85 subjects [mean ± SD age: 54.0 ± 12.8 y; BMI: 28.7 ± 3.6 kg/m2] ...
LDL particle size was significantly larger in the FH homozygotes (26.45±0.37 nm) and FH heterozygotes (26.01±0.40 nm) compared to the normal control group (25.17±0.39 nm). LDL vitamin E concentrations, when expressed relative to LDL cholesterol concentrations, were similar in all the groups...

Macrophages present a spectrum of phenotypes that mediate both the pathogenesis and resolution of atherosclerotic lesions. Inflammatory macrophage phenotypes are pro-atherogenic, but the stimulatory factors that promote these phenotypes remain incomplete
