Sentences with phrase «cholesterol particle size»

The study also reported improvements in other cardiovascular and metabolic variables such as triglycerides, LDL - cholesterol particle size, and C - reactive protein, but it did not correct for multiple comparisons (a common scientific design problem of many fasting studies)(36).

I see that blood sugar expert Dr. Mark Hyman also says that cholesterol particle size is important.

Not exact matches

I saw «The Last Heart Attack» and I was wondering what you thought about what Dr. Arthur Agatston said in the show, as he's the inventor of the South Beach Diet, I'm wondering how credible his idea that the size of cholesterol particles and your cholesterol number doesn't matter.

A routine, regular cholesterol test won't reveal particle size.

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.

The type of cholesterol (LDL particle size) is the more important factor in regards to cholesterol consumption.

It is important to understand that cardiovascular disease is not just an illnesses that is associated with having high blood fats (high LDL cholesterol and an abnormal distribution of LDL particle size), but it is also an inflammatory condition.

We run the NMR lipid test which looks at the size and number of the cholesterol particles in your blood, rather than just the amount of cholesterol.

LDL or «bad cholesterol» measures the amount of cholesterol in the LDL particles but not the number or size of the particles.

that atherosclerosis is caused by small LDL particle size rather than overall number or total cholesterol.

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.

And, naturally, the drug companies don't want you to know that part of the science because it would severely limit the number of people going on cholesterol - lowering drugs, since statins do not modulate the size of the particles.

In fact, the diet should be approximately 70 % of calories from unadulturated fats like low carb nuts (pecans and macadamias are great, almonds ok and peanuts and cashews are considered higher carb on the nut scale), avocado, grass fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil; and the remainng 15/15 for protein and non-starchy vegetable carbs, especially nutrient dense leafy greens It is carbohydrates or high protein leading to gluconeogenesis in the diet that make concurrent consumption of fats a cardiovascular risk, but in a properly carb - restricted and moderate protein diet, and in the absence of systemic inflammation (hsCRP, ESR), one should not worry about increases in cholesterol, but focus on the size of the cholesterol particles (bigger is better) Dr. Peter Attia explains this complex topic well.

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).

What we've learned since then, when it comes to cholesterol health and heart disease risk, is that the relative size and number of LDL particles in the bloodstream matter.

DHA supplementation led to changes in triglycerides, apoB and LDL - cholesterol, which may suggest an increase in LDL particle size (a good change).

The results from this trial clearly indicate that the replacement of refined carbohydrates with EPRO and UFA increased insulin sensitivity, LDL peak particle size, and lowered fasting TG and VLDL cholesterol concentrations in men and women with an elevated TG concentrations.

The results of this study also show that theEPRO / UFA condition reduced TD and VLDL cholesterol concentrations and increased LDL particle size compared with the refined - carbohydrate condition, indicating improved cardiovascular health.

Now, it's important to realize that there are different sizes of LDL cholesterol particles, and it's the LDL particle size that is relevant, as small particles get stuck easily and causes more inflammation.

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.

Not only does it help with cholesterol but L. reuteri 30242 has been shown to safely support healthy CRP (a marker for inflammation), fibrinogen (involved in clot formation), apoB - 100 (a marker for LDL particle size, a known cardiovascular risk factor), and vitamin D levels (important for cardiovascular health) for those within normal range.3, 4,5

If you have concerns about high cholesterol and heart disease, this is going to measure particle size, fibrinogen, Lp (a) and other cardio markers (since looking at only high total cholesterol is not particularly useful).
