Carries cholesterol1
- While LDL mainly carries cholesterol, VLDL carries triglycerides. (medlineplus.gov)
Clinicians2
- however, clinicians also should look at remnant cholesterol because it indicates a significant amount of risk on its own. (eurekalert.org)
- Clinicians are very comfortable with LDL. (medscape.com)
Cardiovascular7
- And that's extremely concerning, since elevated cholesterol levels can quietly contribute to heart disease , stroke, and other cardiovascular complications. (hoag.org)
- Epidemiologic investigations have established that cardiovascular morbidity and mortality vary directly with the level of total-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides, and inversely with the level of HDL-C. The independent effect of raising HDL-C or lowering triglycerides (TG) on the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined. (nih.gov)
- Also information on what to do to lower bad cholesterol and increase good and therefore decreasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and improving the quality of life. (tuasaude.com)
- However, when discussing 'good' or 'bad' cholesterol, they usually mean the specific types of lipoproteins and how they affect your cardiovascular system. (euroclinix.net)
- Along with traditional measurements of blood LDL cholesterol (frequently called "bad cholesterol") levels, the cholesterol within remnant lipoproteins has been studied as an additional means of assessing a person's risk for developing cardiovascular disease and stroke. (eurekalert.org)
- Data included cholesterol levels and other important cardiovascular risk factors, as well as which people developed major heart disease or stroke after recruitment to one of the databases. (eurekalert.org)
- We're not saying LDL cholesterol is a poor measure of cardiovascular disease risk," Quispe notes. (eurekalert.org)
Plasma6
- The TP-rich diets increased plasma LDL- and HDL-cholesterol levels in a concentration-dependent manner. (cambridge.org)
- The LDL and VLDL contained increased amounts of free cholesterol and inhibited cholesterol ester transfer when recombined with control plasma. (jci.org)
- In wild type littermates fed the same diet, the total plasma cholesterol remained (jci.org)
- Thus, the plasma/HDL total cholesterol ratio was significantly lower. (cryonet.org)
- Coconut oil consumption improves fat-free mass, plasma HDL-cholesterol and insulin sensitivity. (greenmedinfo.com)
- The overall effect is a decrease in plasma LDL and VLDL. (pediatriconcall.com)
Apoproteins1
- Activation of PPARĪ± also induces an increase in the synthesis of apoproteins A-I, A-II and HDL-cholesterol. (nih.gov)
Assess1
- To better assess the purported link between remnant cholesterol and disease risk, the Johns Hopkins Medicine team pooled information on 17,532 adults, obtained from three U.S. research databases. (eurekalert.org)
Stroke3
- Having too much LDL is linked to heart disease and stroke. (medlineplus.gov)
- In their study, first published July 19, 2021, in the European Heart Journal , the researchers suggest that for people with relatively low levels of LDL cholesterol, a measured RC level greater than 24 micrograms per deciliter (24 millionths of a gram in a little more than a quart) of blood have a 40-50% higher risk for major heart disease or stroke. (eurekalert.org)
- A healthy HDL cholesterol level may protect against heart attack and stroke. (medlineplus.gov)
Reduces1
- Limit on eggs, until it is confirmed that eating eggs reduces cholesterol. (fatfreekitchen.com)
Mmol3
- A total cholesterol of less than 200 mg/dL (5.18 mmol/L) is considered best (lower numbers are better). (medlineplus.gov)
- HDL cholesterol levels greater than 40 to 60 mg/dL (1.04 to 1.55 mmol/L) are desired. (medlineplus.gov)
- A total cholesterol of 180 to 200 mg/dL (10 to 11.1 mmol/l) or less is considered best. (medlineplus.gov)
Composition1
- Patients treated by CAPD, in marked contrast, had cholesterol metabolic rates that were within the normal range, as well as normal lipoprotein composition. (jci.org)
Elevated cholesterol levels1
- While cholesterol is important for many bodily functions, elevated cholesterol levels can be harmful and increase the risk of many medical conditions. (healthycholesterolclub.com)
Excess1
- Excess cholesterol in the bloodstream is a key contributor to artery-clogging plaque, which can accumulate and set the stage for a heart attack. (harvard.edu)
Primarily1
- These decreases occur primarily in the VLDL fraction and less frequently in the LDL fraction. (curehunter.com)
