In human plasma, it is also the most abundant cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (Goldstein and Brown, 1987). It plays a major role in the development of atherosclerosis, a chronic disease caused by the accumulation of LDL-cholesterol in the blood. The LDL receptor is also the main protein that is…

in effect size of 0.25, which indicated a drop in A1C of one quarter of one percent. Small decreases have been shown to have substantial clinical impact. In fact, a one percent decrease in A1C may be associated with a 37-40% decrease in microvascular complications (Housden, 2013). Housden (2013) also determined the duration of treatment had a greater effect on A1C outcomes than the total number of appointments attended. This is crucial to consider for chronic disease management because of the…
