Introduction
Many because of Dr Mariela Glandt, from Israel, for this week’s subject. Mariela is an endocrinologist who has been working a clinic for weight problems and diabetes for the final seven years, utilizing the ketogenic weight loss program as the principle software (Ref 1). Mariela noticed a paper referred to as “Affiliation between Excessive-Density Lipoprotein Levels of cholesterol and opposed cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk populations” written by Liu et al (Ref 2). It concluded that “Outcomes of this cohort examine recommend that very excessive HDL-C ranges are paradoxically related to increased mortality threat in people with CAD [coronary artery disease].” The phrase paradoxically was used as a result of it’s assumed that HDL-cholesterol is sweet, and this examine concluded that it’s dangerous when “very excessive” and in “people with coronary artery illness.”
It was a extremely fascinating paper, however we have to begin with some background on ldl cholesterol and lipoproteins typically and HDL-cholesterol particularly – targets, contents, and measurements.
