| In some people an increase in LDL cholesterol is accompanied by raised triglyceride levels. |
|
| The LDL receptor is a polypeptide of 839 amino acids that spans the plasma membrane. |
|
| Tumors suck up so much cholesterol that LDL has been considered a vehicle for delivering antitumor drugs to cancer cells. |
|
| Statins are a group of drugs used for lowering the levels of LDL cholesterol in the body. |
|
| Almonds, cashews and macadamias are full of monounsaturated fats, which help lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. |
|
| Another spice, fenugreek, also known as methi, has shown to decrease blood glucose, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides. |
|
| If you have no other risk factors for heart disease, an LDL level greater than 190 milligrams per deciliter generally warrants medication. |
|
| The dose of statins requires modification to attain LDL cholesterol levels that favorably effect endothelial function. |
|
| Because cream, butter, cheese, fatty meat and buttery pastries stimulate the liver to manufacture LDL, keep your intake of saturated animal fats low. |
|
| Average LDL levels declined from 120 milligrams per deciliter of blood in 2001 to 104.7 in 2008, about a 13 percent drop. |
|
| However, whereas high HDL was linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer disease, high LDL and total cholesterol were not linked to risk. |
|
| Trans-fatty acids raise LDL cholesterol levels and lower HDL cholesterol levels relative to cis-unsaturated fatty acids and may increase the risk of diabetes. |
|
| Upon oxidation, LDL particles are readily taken up in arterial walls increasing the likeliness of plaque formation. |
|
| Not only does the good HDL cholesterol increase, but the oxidation of the bad LDL cholesterol decreases at the same time. |
|
| The body then produces less LDL, and the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood decreases. |
|
| Serum LDL cholesterol was not a significant factor in a reduction of risk for major coronary events. |
|
| Saturated fat, however, raises LDL cholesterol-the type of cholesterol that causes fatty deposits to form. |
|
| For most middle-aged big-shots, the acronym LDL is a measure of cholesterol. |
|
| If untreated, people with HoFH can have levels of LDL cholesterol, the so-called bad cholesterol, as high as 1,000 milligrams per deciliter. |
|
| Our results demonstrated that AFE treatment did not alter the total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides in hyperlipidemic hamsters. |
|
|
|
| But, say the researchers, palmitic acid increases and oleic acid decreases plasma LDL cholesterol levels and stearic acid has a negligible effect. |
|
| It is a monounsaturated fat that can decrease the LDL levels and at the same time increase the HDL cholesterol. |
|
| In just two weeks, even modest doses of high-fructose corn syrup raise LDL blood cholesterol and other risk factors for heart disease and gout. |
|
| Another saturated fatty acid, myristic, found in dairy fat, raises LDL cholesterol even more than palmitic, which is a good reason for choosing only nonfat or low-fat dairy foods. |
|
| Internalized LDL particles are degraded in lysosomes, and liberated cholesterol is then used for the synthesis of membranes, steroid hormones, lipoproteins, and bile acids. |
|
| This effect is shown to be mediated through regulation of the levels of hepatic LDL-binding sites and increase in the rate of catabolism of LDL by the liver. |
|
| Seven direct methods for measuring HDL and LDL cholesterol compared with ultracentrifugation reference measurement procedures. |
|
| Diabetes is associated with a metabolic syndrome that is characterized by increased abdominal girth, high triglycerides, low HDL, small, dense and atherogenic LDL as well as hypertension. |
|
| In the first step in atherosclerosis, one type of white blood cell, the monocyte, takes up the modified LDL and accumulates cholesterol that can be converted into a macrophage foam cell. |
|
| In one trial, Praluent drove LDL cholesterol below 25 milligrammes per deciliter. |
|
| Supplementation also results in a reduction in total and LDL cholesterol, in triglycerides and fasting glycaemia, thus reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease. |
|
| The pattern of LDL and HDL changes following therapy with rosiglitazone maleate in combination with sulfonylureas was generally similar to those seen with rosiglitazone maleate in monotherapy. |
|
| Although it does not directly affect the measured lipid profile, lower blood sugars reduces the glycosylation and oxidation of LDL particles, making them less atherogenic. |
|
| The genetic absence of these LDL receptors was found to be the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia, a disorder in which the body's tissues are incapable of removing cholesterol from the bloodstream. |
|
| Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disease that is caused by the deficiency of the LDL receptor on the surface of cells in the liver and other organs. |
|
| Hence, their prediction equation for the effect of dietary fat and cholesterol on plasma LDL cholesterol does not include dietary cholesterol as a bivariate predictor. |
|
| In actual fact, hypolipidemic medication is effective in reducing levels of bad LDL serum cholesterol, but no treatment has so far shown any effectiveness in increasing levels of good HDL serum cholesterol. |
|
| Since atherosclerosis is so common, such diets are considered useful not only for the general public but also for people with high LDL cholesterol or other CHD risk factors. |
|
| The authors concluded that the reason for the failure to observe an incremental effect on CA IMT thickness in spite of a reduction in the level of LDL cholesterol remains unknown. |
|
| Nevertheless, we do think that it would shed more light on the relative atherogenicity of specific LDL subclasses. |
|
|
|
| The team found that MGmin-LDL is created by addition of sugar groups to 'normal' LDL, called glycation which makes LDL smaller and denser. |
|
| Statins alone often don't get LDL levels into the safe range for those people. |
|
| Blood pressure and total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol decreased on all three diets. |
|
| Exposing the linings of arteries removed during surgery to lutein protected them from white blood cells, which oxidize LDL cholesterol. |
|
| Calculation of LDL cholesterol using apolipoprotein B for the phenotypical classification of non-chylomicronemic dyslipemia. |
|
| Stoichiometrically the atherogenicity of Lp is 10-fold that of LDL, though the latter dominates in the circulation. |
|
| Effects of atorvastatin and w-3 fatty acids on LDL subfractions and postprandial hyperlipemia in patients with combined hyperlipemia. |
|
| Metabolic origins and clinical significance of LDL heterogeneity. |
|
| In a 1999 UCLA study that was funded by the company, the Cholestin brand of red yeast rice lowered LDL by an impressive 22 percent in 83 people with high cholesterol levels. |
|
| Doctors measure cholesterol in millimole per litre with the healthy levels being less than five for total cholesterol and less than three for LDL cholesterol. |
|
| Heterozygous hypobetalipoproteinaemia results in low LDL concentrations, but these subjects have a postprandial increase in plasma triglyceride concentration. |
|
| These markers included reticulocyte count, LDL, and indirect bilirubin. |
|
| This relationship between adiponectin and small dense LDL moieties may prove to be an important link in understanding the risk for patients to develop lipid laden atheroma. |
