low-density lipoproteins

Lipoproteins

The packages in which cholesterol and triglycerides travel throughout the body.

lipoproteins

(lip´ōprō´tēns),
n.pl biochemical compounds that contain both lipid and protein. Most lipids in plasma are present in the form of lipoproteins. There are two main types: low density and high density.

lipoproteins, high-density (HDLs),

n.pl the types containing approximately 50% protein that transport cholesterol to the liver for disposal. High HDL levels are associated with low body cholesterol and decreased risk of heart disease.

Lipoma of the lip.

lipoproteins, low-density (LDLs),

n.pl the types containing approximately 21% protein that deliver cholesterol from the liver to cells throughout the body. High amounts of LDLs may raise cholesterol levels in the body and increase the risk of developing atherosclerosis.

Patient discussion about Lipoproteins.

Q. what are the sources for high density lipoprotein? I have heard that high density lipoprotein is good for heart. What differences does it make in heart’s health and what are the sources for high density lipoprotein?

A. Hi Liam, it is very important that we have high density lipoprotein (HDL) in our body. The fact is that the HDL is formed inside the body. They are known as good cholesterol as they are famous for their protection for heart against the heart diseases. It has been found that Vitamin B3 or Niacin consumption increases the count of HDL. It’s good to cut on the diet having more of saturated fats and oils, which increases the chances of heart attack.
