What is the type of blood fat that helps transport cholesterol out of the arteries?
It is known as high density lippo-proteins, or HDL for short.
What are the symptoms of HDL cholesterol?
HDL cholesterol is not a symptom, it is a type of cholesterol that occurs in your body and makes up part of your overall cholesterol score. HDL is the "good cholesterol" which removes build-up from artery walls and flushes the fat to the liver to be processed. When you get your cholesterol tested, a high HDL number is a positive result.
What are two types of cholesterol carriers found in blood?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL).
What are some of the good cholesterol hdl foods?
Whole grains like oatmeal and whole-grain products can help increase your HDL. Other foods include nuts, fatty fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna are also helpful in increasing your HDL. A very helpful website is: www.mayoclinic.com/health/hdl-cholesterol/
What is a healthy cholesterol level for everyone?
There are different types of cholesterol, LDL and HDL. HDL is the good cholesterol, the higher it is, the better it is for you. LDL is the bad cholesterol, which meant the lower it is, the better for your health.
HDL is the cholesterol that is BAD for you?
HDL is the cholesterol that is BAD for you?
if my HDL is 206, what does that mean?
if my HDL is 206, what does that mean?
When did HDL System happen?
HDL System happened in 2006.
What can prevent of atherosclerosis?
As a rule-of-thumb, people with higher HDL have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there's no definitive proof that HDL has a preventative effect on CVD. Higher HDL may be an indicator of some other process that reduces CVD. HDL is lowered by acute and chronic inflammatory states. For example, having a cold will temporarily lower HDL. HDL does play a role in a process called reverse cholesterol transport. Whether that process reduces CVD is not certain. HDL also transports anti-oxidant enzymes throughout the body, which may explain some of its beneficial effects. There have been few studies demonstrating that raising HDL reduces CVD. For example, niacin has been shown to reduce CVD mortality, although it's not proven that it's because it raises HDL. Most studies have only increased HDL by 10%, which may not be enough for a significant clinical effect. Diet does play a role in HDL levels. Diets that are high in refined carbs or low in fat reduce HDL. On the other hand, low carb diets high in saturated fats can profoundly increase HDL levels. On of the most effective saturated fatty acids that increases HDL is lauric acid, which is primarily found in coconut. Recent studies have also shown that saturated fat consumption is not associated with CVD. The majority of studies that claim to show a link failed to control for other factors such as sugar or polyunsaturated fat consumption.
What other molecules in a patient's blood are monitored along with HDL and LDL?
Triglycerides
Hdl is abbreviation for?
HDL= High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol)
What does low HDL indicates?
hdl is your good cholesterol..you want it higher and you want your ldl to be lower
