HDL and LDL HDL means high density lipoproteins‚ Lipoproteins are a combination of lipid and proteins. They are very essential for the body to restore tissues and cell membranes. High density lipoproteins move very easily throughout the blood‚ they do not get stuck in it. HDLs are produced by the combination of unsaturated fats‚ cholesterol and protein. These tend to carry cholesterol from the tissues to the liver to be broken down. LDL or low density lipoprotein is the major cholesterol carrier

Lipoprotein (HDL). This is the good cholesterol. The one that protects against heart attack and low levels increase the risk of heart disease. It is also believed that HDL carries excess cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver‚ where it is passed out the body (LDL and HDL Cholesterol: What ’s Bad and What ’s Good?). If you haven’t had this or you have never been told your cholesterol was too high than you are lucky. I unfortunately have a hereditary problem in which my HDL is low

The importance of HDL The high-density lipoproteins (HDL) do a valuable job in scavenging excess cholesterol from circulation and returning it to the liver for excretion. For this reason‚ HDL is often called the ‘good’ cholesterol. However‚ more recently‚ HDL has been found to have additional properties such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant behaviour. More focus is being placed on increasing HDL‚ especially in cases where LDL (bad cholesterol) lowering has not been sufficiently effective. Cholesterol

A patient wants their total blood cholesterol to be less than 200 mg/dl‚ they are at the borderline of having a high risk when their levels are 200-239 mg/dl‚ and officially are at a high risk for heart disease when their levels are 240 mg/dl and above. For a patient’s LDL levels 190 mg/dl and above means their at a high risk for heart disease and indicates a person can benefit from treatment. More desirable levels for LDL are either equal

how the division could increase volume of its light-duty liquid detergents (LDLs). 1 The excellent growth of Dawn dishwashing liquid since its national introduction in 1976 meant that P&G now manufactured and sold three leading LDL brands‚ holding a 42% share (by weight) of the industry’s $850 million in factory sales. Based on input from the three LDL brand managers who reported to him‚ as well as his own knowledge of the LDL category‚ Wright believed there were three major opportunities for volume

LDL-C is considered a potent inflammatory motivator so decreasing its level and increasing HDL-C level can contribute to lowering inflammatory mediators [29- Libby and Aikawa‚ 2002‚ 30- Linsel-Nitschke and Tall‚ 2005]. Several strategies have been adopted to lower elevated plasma cholesterol. For example‚ statins represent the cornerstone LDL-C lowering therapy to maintain vascular health and reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in patients at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases [31- Andrews

LDL should be low because it is the bad cholesterol level and HDL should be high because it is the good cholesterol level. Chem 107 HW 8 (16‚ 26‚ 32‚ 38) 16.
