Summary Introduction
To review:
The group containing the highest level of LDL or low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) and the lowest level of HDL or high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol). The results are shown in the table given below:
Effect of Diet on Lipoprotein levels (mg/dL or milligram per deciliter) | ||||
cis Fatty acids | Trans Fatty acids | Saturated Fats | Optimal level | |
LDL | 103 | 117 | 121 | <100 |
HDL | 55 | 48 | 55 | >40 |
LDL-to-HDL ratio | 1.87 | 2.43 | 2.2 | <2 |
Introduction:
Lipoproteins are the assembly of proteins and lipids, which serves the purpose of transporting lipids (mainly cholesterol) in the blood or extracellular fluid. These have phospholipids on the exterior while other lipids in the interior. Phospholipids are so oriented that the hydrophilic part is on the outer side while the hydrophobic part is on the inner side.
