Sentences with phrase «hdl cholesterol particles»

HDL cholesterol particles act as cholesterol vacuum cleaners, removing excess cholesterol from tissues all over your body.

Not exact matches

(5) Research has shown that in most cases eating up to 3 eggs per day can actually improve your good cholesterol (HDL) and your bad cholesterol (LDL) will stay the same or change from being small dense LDL particles to large LDL particles.

In individuals with high HDL - cholesterol levels in the circulation, the lipid composition of the HDL particle was more beneficial regarding heart disease risk.

Based on this Finnish study, and earlier ones, the terms «HDL - cholesterol» and «HDL particle» should not be confused to indicate heart disease risk.

HDL particles remove cholesterol from the blood vessel walls and transport it to the liver to be excreted from the body via bile.

In individuals, whose HDL - cholesterol levels were low, the quality of HDL particles was also impaired; they contained smaller amounts of lipid molecules which are known to be antioxidant and thus protective to arteries.

It is likely that molecules other than cholesterol — the lipid and protein molecules on the surface of the HDL particle — are responsible for the protective effects of HDL particles against heart disease.

Another area focuses on the HDL particle (carrier of good cholesterol in the blood).

Instead, the coconut oil's overall effect raised HDL while lowering triglycerides and small LDL cholesterol particles, which is definitely a good thing.

According to the Cooper Institute, a good way to determine what kind of LDL particles you have is to find your ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol.

It also transports cholesterol from extra-hepatic sites, including the arterial wall, to the liver for excretion via reverse cholesterol transport.77 Results from IER (60 - 85 % ER / alternate days) trials have thus far been inconsistent, with some reporting decreases 40, and others increases 37, 39, but with the majority showing no effects on HDL cholesterol levels.38, 42, 43, 45, 49, 51, 52Inconsistencies may have arisen due to the biphasic response of HDL documented by studies of ER induced weight - loss, whereby levels typically decrease during active weight - loss then either return to baseline or (less commonly) rise following attainment of weight stability.78 Complementary increases in HDL levels and particle size have been shown when endurance exercise have been combined with IER 42, 46, 47 however further discussion goes beyond the scope of this review.

So, for those you listening in, just to kinda bring this full circle here briefly, high cortisol, in the case of high cortisol, one of the things that Dr. Bryan recommended was to look at things like your cholesterol particles and your HDL, to look at things like your testosterone, to look at things like the ACTH that we talked about, and some of these other variables that can affect ACTH, and then of course, something like an oxidative stress panel.

In multiple human studies, the low - fat diet has actually made some important risk factors worse, raising triglycerides, lowering HDL (the good) cholesterol and making the LDL particles smaller (10, 11, 12, 13).

This way you can raise your HDL cholesterol («good» cholesterol), lower your triglycerides and reduce levels of small particle LDL cholesterol («bad» cholesterol).

In a 2010 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the researchers found that when you replace saturated fat with a higher carbohydrate intake, you increase insulin resistance and obesity, and increase your chances of getting heart disease by increasing triglycerides and small LDL particles, and reducing beneficial HDL cholesterol.

We are just starting to understand how the body carries cholesterol to and from cells in the form of LDL, VDL, and HDL particles.

If you eat properly — which is really the only known good way to regulate LDL particle size — then it does the right thing; it takes the cholesterol to your tissues, the HDL takes it back to your liver, and nothing gets stuck causing damage.

The DASH diet, significantly reduced LDL cholesterol, large LDL particle size (reduced LDL particle size raises risk) and HDL cholesterol (more HDL cholesterol lowers risk).

Lipoprotein lipid profile disturbances associated with an elevated TG level include low High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and HDL particle (HDL - P), and a predominance of small dense Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and LDL particle (LDL - P).

People who do this typically have by a year, two years, or so, sometimes longer: HDL cholesterol drops, triglycerides start to climb back up (even if they'd dropped substantially at the start), small LDL particles on lipoprotein analysis — increase.

If you eat properly, which is really the only known good way to regulate LDL particle size, then it does the right thing; it takes the cholesterol to your tissues, the HDL takes it back to your liver, and nothing gets stuck causing damage.

One good type of testing includes testing the particle size of both LDL and HDL cholesterol.

For a large proportion of the population, however, the effect of higher - carbohydrate diets, particularly those enriched in refined carbohydrates, coupled with the rising incidence of overweight and obesity, creates a metabolic state that can favor a worsening of the atherogenic dyslipidemia that is characterized by elevated triglycerides, reduced HDL cholesterol, and increased concentrations of small, dense LDL particles (6, 7).

Regarding long - term NK, a study on obese patients showed the positive effects of the ketogenic diet after 24 weeks, including weight loss, increased HDL cholesterol and decreased LDL particles, and decreased triglycerides and blood glucose.

Studies of atherogenic lipoprotein concentrations and properties have raised questions about the benefit of lowering saturated fat intakes by increasing carbohydrate intake, which can induce atherogenic dyslipidemia, and the benefit of increasing monounsaturated fat intakes, which does not lead to improvements in the properties of LDL particles that are associated with atherosclerosis in animal models, although substitution with monounsaturated fat rather than carbohydrate has been shown to reduce the ratio of total and LDL cholesterol to HDL cholesterol.
