What (who) is low-density lipoprotein - definition


Low-density lipoprotein         
  • LDL has been associated with the progression of atherosclerosis and blockage of the artery lumen, because it can carry cholesterol into smaller vessels. But LDL is also essential for carrying lipids that keep the human body alive, including in those small vessels.
ONE OF THE FIVE MAJOR GROUPS OF LIPOPROTEIN

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein that transport all fat molecules around the body in extracellular water. These groups, from least dense to most dense, are chylomicrons (aka ULDL by the overall density naming convention), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Examples of use of low-density lipoprotein
1. Statins reduce levels of low–density lipoprotein (LDL), the "bad" form of cholesterol.
2. Their levels of ‘bad‘ cholesterol – known as low–density lipoprotein (LDL) – should be less than 3millimoles per litre.
3. The DASH regimen lowers low–density lipoprotein (LDL), one of the most damaging types of cholesterol, but has little effect on triglycerides –– another unhealthful type of blood fat.
4. Bad cholesterol or low density lipoprotein, can cause a harmful build up of cholesterol which may narrow the arteries and contribute to heart disease and strokes.
5. Statins help to lower harmful levels of "bad" cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL), by slowing down its production in the liver.
