Comparison of a novel method vs the Friedewald equation for estimating
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels from the standard lipid profile.
Study leader Dr ZhenYu Chen, from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said: "Total cholesterol,
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), and the heart-healthy highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) are still important health issues.
Developed from plant sterols, a plant-based compound which helps to lower
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, the all-natural ingredients have been proven to lower cholesterol by up to 15%.
Continued inactivity resulted in significant increases in
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle number, small dense LDL, and LDL-cholesterol.
The 6,595 participants averaged 55 years old, and all had elevated blood concentrations of
low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol.
Low-density lipoprotein density and atherosclerosis: unraveling the connection.
Contrary to the accepted hypothesis positing downregulation of
low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in humans, expression of the human APOE4 isoform combined with increased LDLR was harmful in genetically modified mice when red a high-fat Western diet, predicting important interactions between genotype/phenotype and exposure.
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY -- Chloroquine therapy for patients with rheumatoid arthritis may lower levels of antibodies to oxidized
low-density lipoprotein, and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, C.L.P.
Drinking tea lowered
low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol, in a small group of volunteers in an USDA-ARS study reported in the October issue of the Journal of Nutrition.
When drugs become necessary, we recommend as initial therapy pravastatin or atorvastatin for elevated
low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and gemfibrozil or fenofibrate when triglyceride concentrations exceed 500 mg/dL."
At the end of the study, the walnut group had significantly lower total cholesterol as well as lower
low-density lipoprotein levels (LDL, the bad cholesterol) as compared to the regular Mediterranean diet.
