Which organ may be damaged by high levels of cholesterol in the blood?
The answer most people would give is the heart but that is only partly true. Research has shown that it is not necessarily the level of cholesterol that is a direct cause of any particular illness, it is the oxidation or modification of the LDL cholesterol that is the villain. Actually it is the VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) and other subclasses of LDL that pose the problems related to cardiovascular deterioration. The fact is that modified cholesterol causes sytemic damage not specific to any one organ. Hope this helped you.
