LDL

The statistically significant effects predominantly came from damaging changes in the healthiest subjects; subjects within ideal pre-test blood lipid levels saw extremely negative changes in their HDL, non-HDL, LDL, TC, and TC/HDL. The Law of Initial Values might explain why these adverse effects were more noticeable in subjects with the healthiest blood lipid profiles. Foods on the Paleo diet could essentially improve the current diet of significantly unhealthy…

For centuries both men and women have had an obsession with physical fitness and physique. An athlete’s goal in the gym is to become a stronger, faster, and more physically fit individual in order to excel at his or her sport and best the competition. A bodybuilder’s goal may be to isolate certain muscle groups and maximize his growth and definition in order to achieve higher scores at competitions. An average gym attendant’s goals may be any combination of these. With that said, for decades…

They are high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL). (sighting).The cholesterol is very essential in the normal functioning of the heart and a high LDL causes an imbalance in the heart and leads to heart problems such as oxidation. When the oxygen within the lipoprotein is oxidized, it becomes toxic to the cells. This also going unseen can lead to…

Case Study 1 – Medication errors and strategies for prevention 1A) Factors that can contribute to medication errors may include lack of knowledge, non-adherence or neglect of proper medication protocol and human error due to tiredness and fatigue. According to recent research, inadequate knowledge in pharmacology such as administration routes and dosage calculations was one of the most important reasons for the occurrence of medication errors (Shahrokhi, Ebrahimpour & Ghodousi, 2013). A…

Question: Why do women live longer than men? In most countries, research has shown that women generally live longer than men. There are more women above the age of 80 compared to men. The following are some of the reasons why women live longer lives than men. 1. Women have Two X Chromosomes Women have two X chromosomes, while men have X and Y chromosomes. Women having two X chromosomes in them let them have two copies of each gene. And, as cells age, the other can back it up for functioning…

actually increases high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which actually protects the heart from disease. Even though the saturated fat raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL), this can only be dangerous to the heart and arteries by itself. The saturated fat cancels out its effect by transforming the tiny and condensed LDL particles to less dense and larger ones. So in the end, it does not have any negative health impacts as experts have suggested to the public. Secondly, drinking whole milk…

It is estimated that nearly 35% of the US population has metabolic syndrome1. Metabolic syndrome encompasses a cluster of disorders that increase risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.2 The GI tract is home to trillions of microorganisms that confer benefits to the host. Recent evidence has implicated alternations in gut microbiota composition and metabolic activity in the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome3,4. Maintenance of gut barrier function, regulation of immune response…

2.2 Risk Factors Genetics has a strong impact on atherosclerosis, however only a fraction of cases are due to Mendelian disorders, such as LDL receptor gene mutations. Familial traits that predispose an individual to atherosclerosis include conditions such as, hypertension and diabetes and inflammatory disorders (Crowther, 2005, Falk, 2006, Kumar, 2010). Age also plays a role, as individuals between 40 to 60 years of age are at elevated risk of manifesting atherosclerosis, whilst ischemic heart…

I. Question: Do polyphenols prevent dementia? II. Introduction: As the elderly population continues to grow, dementia is becoming more prevalent around the world today.1-3 According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, the number of dementia cases is expected to increase from 47 million in 2015 to 135 million by 2050.1 Currently, there is no cure or effective therapies available for dementia. However, vast scientific literature provides significant evidence that addressing modifiable risk…

diagnosis: Diagnosis is usually made from patient history and find other causes of heart failure. (The signs and symptoms for heart failure dyspnea, fluid retention, peripheral edema, nausea.) The most helpful tools of the diagnosis is echocardiogram. The chest x-ray identify the heart enlargement. Character’s : • Heart failure symptoms, including unexplained right heart failure • Arrhythmias • Conduction abnormalities • Thromboembolic events • angina pectoris managements : Heart-Healthy…
