How do LDL and HDL differ structurally and functionally?

# data[].attributes.body
LDL:  has a high lipid to protien ratio and is high in fat, is 2x bigger then HDL, Is needed (part of cell membrane) but can build up in the arteries
HDL: Lower amount of fat and lipid to protein ratio, Needed to carry LDL to liver, Carries the cholesterol from the body to the liver

# data[].attributes.body
Both are a part of cholesterol in our bodies.
LDL stands for “low-density lipoprotein.”
HDL stands for “high-density lipoprotein.”

How are the concentrations of LDL and HDL associated with the risk for heart disease and associated disorders?

# data[].attributes.subject
How are the concentrations of LDL and HDL associated with the risk for heart disease and associated disorders?

# data[].attributes.body
Lower levels of LDL = good cardio shape
High levels of LDL = bad cardio shape (High cholesterol) -cause heart disease
A high HDL to LDL ratio = healthier A low HDL to LDL ratio = unheathy *even if both patients have high cholesterol overall*

# data[].attributes.headline
What can patients do to change the levels of LDL and HDL in their blood?

# data[].attributes.subject
What can patients do to change the levels of LDL and HDL in their blood?

# data[].attributes.body
They can change their diet to lower cholesterol intake and saturated, fats They can also exercise more

# data[].attributes.headline
What other molecules in a patient’s blood are monitored along with LDL and HDL?

# data[].attributes.subject
What other molecules in a patient’s blood are monitored along with LDL and HDL?

# data[].attributes.body
Triglycerides which is another type of fat within the blood
Blood sugar
Total cholesterol

What do the results of a cholesterol test mean? How do patients interpret each value?

How does intake of unsaturated, saturated, and trans fats affect cholesterol levels and overall health?

# data[].attributes.subject
How does intake of unsaturated, saturated, and trans fats affect cholesterol levels and overall health?

# data[].attributes.body
LDL is naturally made by the body and  saturated and trans fats add more LDL in: Unhealthy
This makes the cholesterol levels increase
Unsaturated fats lower LDL levels because it removes the LDL from the body: Healthy

# data[].attributes.headline
Why do doctors monitor the concentrations of LDL and HDL in patients’ blood?

# data[].attributes.subject
Why do doctors monitor the concentrations of LDL and HDL in patients’ blood?

# data[].attributes.body
They can lead to heart disease, stroke or atherosclerosis which is the hardening of the arteries if the concentration is wrong
