Mr. Brown How Are You Today?

Tommy shows you a recent blood test report in which normal levels LDL and triglyceride are

Good evening Mr. Brown your test results came in and we found out that your Triglycerides are 145 mg/dL, Cholesterol 210 mg/dL, HDL 33 mg/dL, and LDL 160 mg/dL. Normal triglycerides means there are less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) which you do have which is great. A desirable level of cholesterol would be Below 200 mg/dL, and borderline high would be 200-239 mg/dL so because your cholesterol level is 210 mg/dL you are at borderline high. Ideal LDL level for people at very high risk of heart disease would be below 70 and a high level would be 160-189 mg/dL your LDL level is 160 mg/dL therefore it’s high. The best HDL

The Framingham study and others that followed showed us that HDL-cholesterol is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and that the increase of HDL-cholesterol of only 10 mg/dL leads to a risk reduction of 2-3% (PubMed.gov, Nov. 2012). Higher levels of HDL cholesterol result in a risk of cardiovascular disease closer to the default risk. Cardiovascular disease risk increases then plateaus with greater ratios between total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. Thus, higher levels of HDL cholesterol proportionate to levels of total cholesterol relate to lower cardiovascular disease risk (Lecture #3). Having a HDL-cholesterol of 60 mg/dL and above is the best place for a person to be. A bit lower, but considered a good HDL-cholesterol level standing is 40-49 mg/dL for men and 50-59 mg/dL for women. All three of us, me, my mother, and the case study Danny are in good standing regarding HDL-cholesterol levels, my mother with 55 mg/dL, me with 50 mg/dL, and Danny with 40

Triglyceride concentrations in the liver are much higher than the heart and kidney. The differences between triglyceride and glycerol concentrations were triglyceride includes the free glycerol plus the glycerol. Pure glycerol concentrations were not determined because of reagent availability. The triglyceride concentrations were assumed to be proportional to glycerol concentrations. (Figure 2)

Cholesterol was 254.51 mg, which was very close to my recommended intake. If there is one thing I learned so far this semester, it

Martina, your overall cholesterol measurement of 172 mg/dL is below the recommend upper limit of 200 [1]. Additionally, your HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol measurement of fifty-six mg/dL is also within the normal limits, which are defined as a reading greater than 40 but less than or equal to 60 mg/dL [1]. Your LDL (low-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol reading is extremely close to being below the recommended limit of 100 mg/dL: your reading was 101 mg/dL [1]. The recommended levels are the values at which your risk for several diseases is minimized. Your triglyceride reading of 78 mg/dL was well within the normal limit of less than 150 mg/dL, but your glucose reading was indicative of prediabetes.

Cholesterol is a lipid that helps manufacture vitamin D on the surface of the skin, produces hormones, maintains cell membranes, and possibly helps cell connections in the brain.3 Based on what is known about calcium transporting throughout the body we can infer that cholesterol also has a similar process. When there is an imbalance of cholesterol homeostasis we can have high density lipoprotein (HDL) which is known as good cholesterol, or low-density lipoproteins (LDL) which is known as bad cholesterol. Lipoproteins differ in size, shape, composition, function, and contribute to vascular

An optimal LDL level for adults is less than 100 milligrams per deciliter, according to MedlinePlus. An LDL level of 130-159 milligrams per deciliter is considered borderline high, while a level of 160-189 is considered high. An LDL level over 190 milligrams per deciliter is very

Annual testing for abnormalities in fasting serum cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, and calculated LDL cholesterol levels (ADA, 2008)

cholesterol levels in a similar fashion; normally about 50 percent of cholesterol in the diet is

Our findings revealed that higher WC was significantly correlated with higher levels of TC, TG, LDL and lower levels of HDL. We found a significant correlation between dyslipidemia, and WC after adjusting for age and sex, moreover, significant associations between WC-SDS and HDL, and LDL were reported using multiple linear regression analysis after adjusting for BMI-SDS. Parallel

If you are wondering how to lower your cholesterol, then you need to include fish in your diet. It is highly recommended to eat fish for about 4 times a week. Go gor sardines, salmon and bluefin tuna, as they are low in mercury. Keep in mind to use a body fat analyzer, in order to track your cholesterol and not only, so that you can know exactly what are your results. By doing so, you will actually know if the diet you are following is a healthy one that helps you lower your

The RDA for Cholesterol states that an individual should non consume more than 300 mg of cholesterol, and my intake was at 242.65 which meant I was at a healthy range. Unnfortunatly I was low on my carbohydates. The RDA is set from 45-65% and I was at 43%. Increaseing my carbohydrates with more whole grained complex carbohydrates, will be healthier becuase then I will Increase my fiber intake. On sunday I only had 8.4 grams of fiber however monday I had 37.3 gram and on tuesday I had 23.5. With my fiber intake low the next best thing to do would be to start eating more beans, fruit and veggies such as peas or carrots. The last macronutrient to talk about is protin. RDA is set at 10 to 35% and I am at 20%. The benififet to increaseing intake of beans and whole wheat flower would be that I am increasing both contain a moderate amount of protein tp set me in the

The levels of triglycerides in the blood have developed as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Triglyceride levels in high serum abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism and other risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and reduced HDL cholesterol levels. It has been several studies that carbohydrate restriction significantly reduced triglyceride levels

Elevated cholesterol level means that concentration of chylomicron or VLDL and also LDL have increased.
