Is low-density lipoprotein bad?
High LDL is a major contributing factor of heart disease
What are fibric acid derivatives?
Although these drugs are less effective than the statins at lowering total cholesterol, they may be able to lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while raising the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
What lipoprotein is the primary carrier of lipid in the blood?
very low density
What is the chemical formula for LDL?
LDL (low density lipids) is a mixture of several lipids so it can not be represented by a single formula.
What are the 4 major lipoproteins?
(See link below)Chylomicrons are the least dense of all the lipoproteins and are basically just big balls of fat (triglycerides), with a makeup of about 90 percent fat, a touch of phospholipids, some cholesterol, and a smidgin of protein.VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) carries a great amount of fat, some phospholipids, and cholesterol. The high fat content of VLDL makes a large quantity of this lipoprotein in the blood undesirable.LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol) has only a fraction of the fat and double the protein of VLDL and is very high in cholesterol. This lipoprotein carries the majority of cholesterol in the blood and is considered the unhealthy one.HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) is a spherical blob of mostly protein (albeit a type different from that found in LDL), some cholesterol, phospholipids, and very little fat. The densest of all the lipoproteins, HDL is the healthy one.
What is hdl and ldl?
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
What does the medical abbreviation LDL mean?
LDL means low density lipoprotein.
What lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol back to the liver form the periphery?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
What stands for LDL in blood test?
low density lipoprotein
What are the two types of cholesterol carriers found in the blood?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL).
What is the so-called bad cholesterol?
Low-density lipoprotein
What are two types of cholesterol carriers found in blood?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL).
What is the lipoprotein that is called a bad cholesterol?
ldl(low density lipid)cholestrol.
The cholesterol thet is known as ldl stands for l?
low density lipoprotein
What is the meaning of LDL and HDL?
OK so LDL is low density lipoprotein and HDL is high density lipoprotein. LDL is considered to be a bad cholesterol and HDL, a good colesterol. there is more on this topic here : http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=180
What is ldl?
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.
Is low-density lipoprotein bad?
High LDL is a major contributing factor of heart disease
