LDL

Recent studies show benefits of having a small dose of saturated fat in the body. Saturated fat can increase size of LDL cholesterol otherwise known as Low Density Lipoprotein. As we know cholesterol is a molecule that is needed for us to live But LDL is a protein that carries cholesterol to the blood. But there are new studies that have found to subtypes small dense LDL and large LDL. Particles that are small and dense cannot penetrate through artery walls which means cannot affect…

dysmetabolic syndrome increases their risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type II diabetes. People with the syndrome X may be classified as obese in the abdominal area, high blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, dyslipidemia with elevated LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides (Brown et al., 2013). As people age along with not taking care of their overall health increase their risk for having metabolic syndrome. In addition, ethnicity and gender plays a…

1. INTRODUCTION The French paradox describes the lowered incidences of coronary heart diseases (CHD) in French people with respect to their diet which consists of high amounts of saturated fats. It is one of the many paradoxes with examples such as the Israeli paradox, which shows that although having a diet low in saturated fats, the Israeli Jews have increased incidences of CHD . This paradoxical event caused elevated interest in the causative factor that can seemingly lower the incidences of…

There are multiple factors that contribute to the build-up of plaque in the vessels and in turn, the development of atherosclerosis (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p327). The disease attacks different arteries in the body, but the most harmful conditions involve damages to the vessels of the brain and the heart (Silverthorn et al., 2009 p329). Understanding of the structures and mechanisms that take place in the heart and the brain to allow for blood distribution is a critical component for anyone…

Some of them are heart disease, cancer, and obesity. Saturated fats are mostly implicated in raising ldl levels. If this happens then you have more of a chance of blood clots and your blood pressure rises. If you have a elevated ldl level, then you are at more of a risk of getting cardiovascular disease which can lead to heart attacks. In cancer, dietary fat promotes cancer rather than initiating it. There has been…

incidences of CHD is due in part to their moderate consumption or intake of red wine. CHD can begin developing due to factors such as lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) in particular. High amounts of circulating LDLs can cause deposition in the tunica intima of the artery, causing it to be oxidised, and thus becoming oxidised-LDL (oxLDL) due to interaction with free radicals or Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The accumulation of oxLDLs in the tunica intima then causes the endothelial…

(14%), cholesterol ester (36%) and fatty acids free (4%). Lipids are transported in plasma lipoproteins (Figure 3). Four major classes of lipoproteins important are: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL and HDL. Chylomicrons transport the lipids produced from digestion andabsorption; VLDL triacylglycerol transport from the heart; LDL channel cholesterol to the tissues, and HDL carries cholesterol to the tissues and return it to the liver to be excreted in a process known as reverse cholesterol transport…

make cholesterol. Studies also show that statins don’t protect you from Alzheimer’s. The most common side effects of statin drugs are is memory dysfunction because of the fats and cholesterol they take from the brain. They also reduce the LDL in the blood serum. LDL is basically what transport all fats around the body. Refusing to take statin therapy is good for your brain and instead consume plenty of dietary fat to help the brain and body. Cholesterol makes up twenty five percent of the…

The towering causes and effects of heart disease surround us in our everyday lives. Everybody, at some point, is being exposed to a risk factor or something that further longs the chances of getting heart disease. What is heart disease? "Look into proposes that coronary illness (CHD) starts with harm to the covering and inward layers of the coronary (heart) supply routes." A few components add to this harm. The risk factors that cause heart disease are mostly composed of everyday problems that…

I am happy to say that my wife and I had another child and again her cholesterol and triglyceride numbers were way high. She is now on medication that keeps her numbers within a more narrow range of 300-400 for triglycerides and 400-500 on her LDL, but almost 30 years later there have been no negative ramifications except for pockets of fatty tissue known as xanthomas that have accumulated under her eyes. The disorder affects approximately 1 in 1,000,000 people so it is relatively rare. That’s…
