LDL

In conclusion, it is unnecessary to advocate replacing the use of palm oil with other vegetable or oilseed-derived oils rich in PUFA and MUFA because such a substitution does not bring about any beneficial change in the ratio of ‘good’ HDL to ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol. It is as effective as oleic acid, widely recognized to be a heart-healthy fatty acid, in maintaining lipoprotein levels and improving cardiovascular…

chemotactic agents and growth inducing factors that have been released then travel through the blood and pick up lipids. Low desnsity lipoproteins (LDLs) are highly targeted. After the LDLs and lipids are accumulated, they begin to oxidize inside the vessel along the wall. This oxidization occurring attracts macrophages , which become distended with the lipids and LDLs that were collected and they become foam cells. The accumulation of foam cells form a fatty streak, which is a step in…

Cardiovascular disease(CVD) is the leading cause of death in America among both male and female populations. It causes around 610,000 deaths per year. Moreover, CVD is affecting different racial groups because it is the top leading cause of death for people of most ethnicities in the country such as African Americans, Whites, and Hispanics (CDC, 2016). As CVD is a major health issue in the community, there are many treatments and diets that aimed at preventing CVD. Mediterranean diet is the one…

when eating in moderation contributes to healthy cell function by maintaining the membrane of the cell and synthesizing compounds like estrogen and testosterone. In addition, LDLs (bad cholesterol) are taken up by endocytosis and broken down into protein. But, when cholesterol intake goes over 300 milligrams it will increase LDL levels and this can lead to atherosclerosis (Byrd-Bredbenner, 2003). My protein intake was over the daily recommendation intake by 34.18 grams (NutriCalc Plus Online,…

trans-fat include fried foods, savory snacks like microwave popcorn, frozen pizzas, baked goods, margarines and spreads, ready-to-use frosting, and coffee creamers. Consuming manufactured trans-fat poses a risk to the heart and arteries by raising blood LDL cholesterol, lowering HDL…

Each are simple meats that majority of people have for dinner. Chicken and beef may taste really good but both of have different long term effects. The benefits of chicken according to the article why is chicken healthy to eat it states,…

The heart is a vital organ that controls blood flow to the entire body. Without the heart muscles, organs and all other body parts would die. The life choices a person makes can affect the health of their heart. For example, smoking, bad diet, sedentary lifestyle, and other choices can damage the heart in the long run. As a medical student this is an important topic of interest because it is found that, "Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and the cost to combat it…

thickening in the arterial wall called an Atheroma (or "fibro-fatty plaque"). Atheroma narrows the lumen of arteries and weakens the vessel wall. Atherosclerosis begins in childhood and slowly progresses throughout life. Typically, it produces symptomatic clinical disease during the fifth and sixth decades of life. The atheromatous plaque is a raised lesion within the intima of arteries composed of a core of cholesterol, necrotic cellular debris and inflammatory cells. This is covered by a…

Cardiovascular diseases considered as number one killer in United States. 42.7 percent out of two million people who have heart diseases die each year. Coronary arteries’ function is to supply the heart with oxygen-rich blood. When less blood and oxygen flow to the heart, it means the coronary artries narrow. This type of situation is called coronary artery disease, or atherosclerosis means the hardening of the arteries in which fatty deposits build up inside the coronary arteries. Heart attack,…

• Polar bears and brown bears can produce a hybrid offspring • Polar bears evolved from brown bears • The timing of when polar bears first appeared is vital because it determines when they have experienced warm periods with little sea ice historically • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) – relationships based on differences in a group of genes • The polar bear genome discovered alterations in genes related to the development of the heart, cardiovascular function and lipid metabolism – this is why…
