The main structure difference is the compositions

50 percent of the weight of an LDL particle is cholesterol and only 25 percent is protein

High-density(HDL) lipoprotein particles, on the other hand, consist of 20 percent cholesterol by weight and 50 percent protein

Low-density lipoproteins contain proteins called B-100 proteins

HDL particles contain mostly A-I and A-II proteins. The type of protein is significant because it determines the function of the lipoprotein particle.

Low density lipoproteins-which is the primary carrier, carries cholesterol throughout the body and can cause artery blockage and create a high risk of stroke or heart disease

High density lipoproteins can benefit your health because these particles carry cholesterol away from your heart and other organs and deliver it back to your liver, where it is passed from your body

HDL (high density lipoprotein) “good” cholesterol

LDL (low density lipoprotein) “bad” cholesterol

Concentrations of LDL and HDL Associated with Heart Disease and Stroke Risk 

# data[].attributes.body
LDL  is the primary carrier so it carries cholesterol throughout the body, this low-density lipoprotein is important but this one can lead to blocked arteries which will lead to heart disease and strokes

HDL is beneficial to your health because these particles of the HDL will carry away cholesterol from you hearth and other organs and deliver it back to your liver where it is passed prom your body

So it is important for your body to have a good balance of both because they both have important jobs that need to be carried out in a balanced manner or having a bad balance would lead to clogged arteries and heart disease

What do the results of a cholesterol heart mean? How does the patient interpret each value?

# data[].attributes.body
The desired level of cholesterol to have in your bloodstream is less than 200 mg/dL

High risk: 240 mg/dL and above

Borderline high risk: 200-239 mg/dL

If you have a high LDL level that is not good and you should stay away from more fat density foods

Having a low HDL is not good because cholesterol will begin to build up in your arteries and harden- this is called atherosclerosis so it's good to have the balance

Whats the Difference Between Saturated and Unsaturated Fats?

# data[].attributes.body
Saturated fats typically contained a high percent of low density lipoproteins due to the high fat content and low protein content

Unsaturated fats can contain the high density lipoproteins which are healthier because they have a high percent of protein and lower in the cholesterol

If there is a bad balance of these lipoproteins it can lead to  atherosclerosis which is a build up in the artery walls and if not treated can start to harden and block the arteries causing heart disease and a high risk of heart attack

Its carried in the bloodstream

LDL is carried from the liver towards the body

HDL is carried from the body to the liver

Monitored to know if being carried to or from the cells
