What does the medical abbreviation LDL mean?
LDL means low density lipoprotein.
Are wallnuts a source of LDL?
Wallnuts don't contain LDL, by the contrary, they decrease the Low Density Lipid levels, which is known as the bad cholesterol. LDL is produced by the liver when the HDL level is low. It isn't a fat that makes part of any food. LDL level in the blood stream is optimum when below of 100 mg/dl. HDL level is desirable when over 35/40 mg/dl. Wallnuts have many others fantastic medicinal properties.
What does an elevated LDL mean in a blood test?
LD=LDL? LDL is low density lipoprotein, a type of cholesterol (AKA "bad" cholesterol). It transports fatty acids and tryglycerol from the liver to cells around the body.

Why are your HDL and triglicerides low and your LDL is high?
In normal person level of HDL should be high because it is HIGH DENSITY LIPID which are good for the body and if LDL( low density lipid) id high means u are hyperlipidemia. So you have to go for anti-hyperlipidimic drugs
What is hdl and ldl?

What does LDL have to do with heart attacks?
The most important one are Low Density Protestations (LDL) and High Density Protestations (HDL). The LDL carries most of the cholesterol in the blood and this LDL cholesterolis commonly referred to as "bad cholesterol". When the level is too high in the blood, the excess is deposited on the wall of the arteries. This can contribute to the narrowing on blockage of the coronary arteries, leading to the development of heart disease.
What is atorvastatins pharmacological functions?
Statins are used to lower the level of cholesterol. Atorvastatin is an HMG CoA reductase selective inhibitor. It lowers plasma cholesterol and lipoprotein levels by inhibiting the HMG CoA reductase and cholesterol biosynthesis in the liver and. It also increases the uptake of LDL and catabolism by increasing low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor number on the liver cell surface. This product can also reduce the formation of LDL and the number of particles. Besides, atorvastatin can reduce low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL - C) level on some types of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
