LDL is the bad cholesterol. LDL stands for low density lipoprotein cholesterol. LDL is produced in the liver and carries antioxidants and amino acids to other cells.
Atherosclerosis occurs when LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) get oxidized. Since the plasma in the arteries contains plenty of oxygen to oxidize the LDL's it occurs mostly in arteries. In the veins, there is little oxygen to be found, so it is much more likely to happen in the arteries for that reason.
LDL, also known as "bad cholesterol" is of greatest concern in atherosclerosis.
Excessive saturated fat intake increases the risk of heart disease by increasing triglyceride and LDL (low density lipoprotein) levels. Cholesterol can deposit in blood vessels, clogging them and causing heart disease.Unsaturated fats can reverse this process.
A BMI of 26.3 means your overweight and not obese, HDL is good cholesterol and LDL is considered the bad one. There weren't any concrete evidence that high levels of CRP is a risk factor in CHD though CRP levels are usually high on CHD cases.
In a heart attack, the arteries are clogged up, and the heart cannot get blood circulation. It starts when a nick is created in the arteries. Floating LDL (bad cholesterol) binds up onto the nick, and white blood cells detect the bump, and responds by "eating" the LDL. However, the white blood cells get stuck ther that makes it grow even larger. Soon, the plaque ruptures, and it floats down the bloodstream. It settles in a different location, where it is blocking the bloodstream. If it settles in a critical location, then a heart attack ensues. A heart attack causes the heart to not be able to circulate blood. Without blood, people die. The best thing to do is to get more HDL (good cholesterol). It acts as a remover of excess LDL. You also can lower high blood pressure, if you have it.
LDL-P stands for 'LDL-Particles' (as opposed to LDL-C which is LDL-Cholesterol). It's measured with a blood test commonly called "the particle test", and your LDL-P tells you the number of LDL particles in your blood. Usually LDL-P is measured along with LDL-C to obtain a more complete, detailed measure of cardiovascular risk - some doctors believe that particle levels as well as total cholesterol matter. Treatment strategies differ depending on the relationship between LDL-P and LDL-C, so there's not a 'cut and dried' target number for LDL-P (as there is for LDL-C).
what the normol hsl and ldl?
ldl normal value 100 to 120 then it is high levle ldl
Ldl is cholesterol, and can be found in chicken skin.
LDL means low density lipoprotein.
125 LDL is basically means you have an elevated amount of cholesterol in your body.
Small, dense LDL particles. Type A LDL particles are larger, don't embed in the lining of the arteries. Type B will embed.
HDL= Good Cholesterol, LDL = Bad Cholesterol
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
Cholesterol is made naturally in your body. Your body will always have LDL cholesterol.
ldl (low density lipid) is bad cholestrol.
You want your HDL (good) to be higher and your LDL (bad) to be lower.
