Soluble fiber can reduce both «bad» LDL and overall cholesterol, perhaps by binding with
cholesterol particles in your digestive system and moving them out of the body before they're absorbed.
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.
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.
To mimic this versatile substance, Joke Bouwstra and Robert Rissman at Leiden University
in the Netherlands mixed a range of fatty compounds including lanolin, fatty acids, ceramides and
cholesterol with
particles made of a water - storing hydrogel (International Journal of Pharmaceutics, DOI: 10.1016 / j.ijpharm.2009.01.013).

in the circulation, the lipid composition of the HDL
particle was more beneficial regarding heart disease risk.
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.
Another area focuses on the HDL
particle (carrier of good
cholesterol in the blood).
Now a team of scientists, led by Mary Jo LaDu
in the department of pathology at the University of Chicago Medical Center, has shown that the apoE - containing fat transporters found
in brain cells are very different from the apoE
particles found elsewhere
in the body and contain most of their
cholesterol in a different form.
In the blood, fats and
cholesterol are packaged, with key protein components, into
particles called lipoproteins.
The differences between the lipoproteins secreted by astrocytes and those found
in the CSF suggest that the astrocytes produce
particles that help the brain rid itself of excess
cholesterol in addition to helping deliver membrane components to the nerve cells.
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.
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).
It seems fairly clear that those on keto and very - low - carb diets who get most of their energy from fat — including their own fat stores — tend to have more LDL
particles circulating
in their bloodstream, delivering triglycerides to cells and transferring
cholesterol to other lipoproteins.
Increased enterohepatic circulation on high fat means that
cholesterol is kept «
in play» - bounced back into the bloodstream
in ApoB
particles - while low enterohepatic circulation,
in people with with higher synthesis rates, during weight loss - when
cholesterol is being dumped by shrinking cells - means that
cholesterol can pile up
in the gall bladder faster than it can be conjugated to bile salts and bile acids and faster than it can be extracted by the weak stimulus of low fat food.
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 cholestero

We are just starting to understand how the body carries
cholesterol to and from cells
in the form of LDL, VDL, and HDL
particles.
The type of
cholesterol (LDL
particle size) is the more important factor
in regards to
cholesterol consumption.
They can increase LDL
cholesterol and
in particular the small dense LDL
particles that damage our arteries.
LDL or «bad
cholesterol» measures the amount of
cholesterol in the LDL
particles but not the number or size of the
particles.
Increased glycated ApoE
particles have been detected
in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD patients.34, 35 The physiological insult of glycated ApoE is that ApoE helps transport LDL
particles (and their critical
cholesterol and fatty acid passengers) across the blood brain barrier.
Yet the reduction
in LDL
cholesterol from reducing saturated fat intake seems to be specific to large, buoyant (type A) LDL
particles, when
in factit is the small, dense (type B)
particles (responsive to carbohydrate intake) that are implicated
in cardiovascular disease.Indeed, recent prospective cohort studies have not supported any significant association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk Instead, saturated fat has been found to be protective.»
Vegetable oils oxidize when heated, and when oxidized
cholesterol and trans fat enter into your LDL
particles, they become destructive, contributing to arterial plaque buildup
in your brain
Glucose / HBA1C Free - ranging glucose molecules
in your bloodstream can adhere to
cholesterol particles and cause those
particles to remain
in the bloodstream for long periods of time, since your liver can't properly process
cholesterol when it has a glucose molecule attached to it.
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 wel

As reported by The New York Times: 8 «The problem, [Dr. Kummerow] says, is not LDL, the «bad
cholesterol»... What matters is whether the
cholesterol and fat residing
in those LDL
particles have been oxidized...
Siri Tarino stated, «However, replacement of saturated fat by carbohydrates, particularly refined carbohydrates and added sugars, increases levels of triglyceride and small LDL
particles and reduces high - density lipoprotein
cholesterol, effects that are of particular concern
in the context of the increased prevalence of obesity and insulin resistance.
What matters is whether the
cholesterol and fat residing in those LDL particles have been oxidized... «Cholesterol has nothing to do with heart disease, except if it's oxidized,» Dr. Kummerow said... [He] contends that the high temperatures used in commercial frying cause inherently unstable polyunsaturated oils to oxidize, and that these oxidized fatty acids become a destructive part of LDL

This is important because
cholesterol particles can be found
in bile acid.
We are now learning that its carbs, high processed carbs that are
in reality causing high trigs, which also lead to small dense
cholesterol particles (the kind that penetrate artery walls and cause unstable plaques).
Without VLDL
particles, fats and
cholesterol are trapped
in the liver and never reach the blood and adipose cells.
Studies have linked them to improvements
in LDL
cholesterol and
particle levels, lower blood pressure, and reduction of inflammatory markers (23, 24, 25, 26, 27).
Furthermore, positive associations between TSH and LDL as well as total
cholesterol levels have been found
in cross-sectional studies
in euthyroid healthy subjects, and the strength of these associations seems to depend on an individual's insulin sensitivity.We therefore hypothesize that the KD has diminished the production of T3 from T4, thereby reducing the number of LDL receptors and thus reducing LDL
particle clearance which might be further impaired due to the missing stimulating effect of insulin on LDL uptake into cells.
According to research found
in Atherosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, large LDL
particles were not found to be associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease
in men, and that the cardiovascular risk LDL
cholesterol does pose is related to levels of its small
particles.
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.
As they circulate
in the bloodstream they release little
particles of fat and
cholesterol that are utilized by the cells or stored as body fat.
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.
Some say its a numbers game, the more LDL
particles crashing the walls of the arteries... some say the LDL is only a sign of vascular damage, but if my LDL goes down on a low fat diet, then that is bs, some say that it may be a problem metabolizing LDL, intake / production is outpacing LDL receptor activity, some say its not LDL but LDL that stays
in the blood too long and oxidizes, some say about 20 % carbs (I was less than 5 %) will produce just enough insulin to help metabolize
cholesterol, but the hard core low carb guys, say the whole
cholesterol thing is a scam and
cholesterol under 500, without insulin resistance is nothing to worry about.
Moreover, all LDL
cholesterol is not harmful — only tiny LDL
particles, which increase
in those with carbohydrate resistance.
, a
particle in your blood that carries
cholesterol, fats and proteins.
1) A genetic Condition called Familial Hypercholesterolemia which affects 1
in 500 people, where a person's liver expresses much less LDL receptors and is therefore unable to clear «used»
cholesterol in LDL
particles from the blood
But at the same time,
cholesterol may go up on a ketogenic diet but if it does, I see the HTL go up
in conjunction wih the LDL so the ratio is not getting worst and the trigs will also go down and the
particles side shifts so your LDL A would go up, B would go down and your LDL will also improve too.
Another significant contributor is the high carbohydrate, lowfat diet, which leads to excess glucose
in the blood stream, which glycates LDL
particles and renders them ineffective
in delivering
cholesterol to the tissues.
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).
After seven weeks, both groups had a big reduction
in heart disease risk (reduced LDL
cholesterol, triglycerides and increases
in LDL
particle size — good).
Both diets also lowered levels of harmful LDL («bad»
cholesterol) and triglycerides, the most abundant fat - carrying
particle in the bloodstream.
In some cases it did raise LDL
cholesterol levels but this was a transition from smaller to bigger, more effective, LDL
particles which is a good thing.
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
