Chapter 1 Atherosclerosis Structure of the normal artery: Cell types composing the normal artery: Endothelial Cells: The endothelial cell (EC) of the arterial intima constitutes an important contact surface with blood. It plays an important role in vascular homeostasis. This blood compatibility is due to presences of heparan sulfate proteoglycan molecules on the surface of the EC. These molecules can serve as a cofactor for antithrombin III, which inhibit thrombin. The surface of the EC also…

amount of oxygen body need for proper functioning and could leads to heart attack, stroke and deep vein thrombosis. (1) Lipoprotein LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein) plays and important role in transportation of cholesterol. A high level of LDL cholesterol accumulate within the blood vessel and hardens and narrow the passage. HDL is good lipoprotein which clear the excess the cholesterol in the blood vessels.…

The protein that was found in the first DNA sequence is Apolipoprotein E. The name Apolipoprotein is referred to APOE (APOE). Apolipoprotein E is inside the body and combines with fats to form lipoproteins (APOE). Lipoproteins travel through the blood stream caring cholesterol and other fats (APOE). The fats, cholesterol, and other minerals in the body need to be regulated to prevent a disease occurring from Apolipoprotein E. The protein Apolipoprotein E can cause Alzheimer’s disease.…

Diet refers to a person’s food consumption and requisite supply chemical energy for cellular processes, organic molecules for biosynthesis that is; macromolecule production, and essential nutrients. Our diet maybe habitual that is; it consists of the same proportion of nutrient every day; usually balanced. Due to various reasons a person may restrict their diet to obtain versatile desired results for example weight loss. A balanced diet should contain 2/3 carbohydrates (including roughage), 1/6…

Here’s an anecdotal story about my wife’s extremely rare form of Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency, which back in 1986 didn’t even have a formalized name. I vividly recall the day I took my [Korean born] wife for the required lab work after having been told we were pregnant. I remember watching her blood turn a milky white color as it was drawn into the vile. Since I was (and still am) relatively squeamish at the sight of blood, it was the first time I had ever watched a lab procedure and I…

10-19-15 Brayan Camargo Cholesterol and Steroids What are cholesterol and steroids? Cholesterol is the most common type of steroid, a steroid is a lipid because they are hydrophobic which means that they dissolve in water. They are used for many purposes but these are the main things that we use cholesterol and steroids. "Understanding Cholesterol and Heart Health | NIH MedlinePlus the Magazine."

develops from damage to the endothelium of the artery. The damage in the artery allows for fats, cholesterol, lipoprotein, and other particles to collect in the artery. High concentrations of LDL cholesterol go into the damaged endothelium and are oxidized. This oxidized LDL pulls white blood cells to the vessel walls, as the macrophages come to the vessel they envelope the lipoproteins and then become…

Dark chocolate is very nutritious If you buy a good quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, then it is actually quite nutritious. It contains a decent amount of soluble fiber and rich in minerals. Tabla dark chocolate of 100 grams with 70-85% cocoa contains (1): 11 grams of fiber. 67% of PDD (PDD- recommended daily dose) of iron. 58% PDD magnesium. PDD 89% copper. PDD 98% manganese. It also contains a lot of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium. One hundred grams, of course,…

given. Double blinded method (neither participants nor the researcher know the results) was used for the baseline testing, and during post-exercise. Blood sample were collected after fasting, to measure accurate levels of Low density lipoprotein, High density lipoprotein, insulin, glucose, and total cholesterol level. The exercise program required the participants to exercise 2 times per week for a length of 8 weeks. The workout itself consisted of 5 upper body exercises and 4 upper body…
