PPT-in general it is present in the body in two types, the good "HDL" and the bad "LDL" cholesterol.

Cholestero l Cholesterol is a fatty substance necessary for the proper functioning of the body and it binds with lipoproteins these proteins transport cholesterol to and from cells The body needs cholesterol to make hormones vitamin D and to support the digestive process the liver manufactures it in sufficient quantities it produces 80 . Learning outcome. Most cholesterol is synthesised by the liver from saturated fats in the diet. Cholesterol is a component of cell membranes and a precursor for steroid synthesis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports excess cholesterol from the body cells to the liver for elimination. This prevents accumulation of cholesterol in the blood. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol to body cells. Most cells have LDL receptors that take LDL into the cell where it releases cholesterol. Once a cell has sufficient cholesterol a negative feedback system inhibits the synthesis of new LDL receptors and LDL circulates in the blood where it may deposit cholesterol in the arteries forming atheromas. A higher ratio of HDL to LDL will result in lower blood cholesterol and a reduced chance of atherosclerosis. . By: Rebekah O’Bryan, Naomi Belcher, and Miranda McCormick. What is it?. Saturated Fat- is found in foods that are unhealthy for you, it is not heart healthy, and contains Low-Density Proteins-the bad cholesterol. By choosing to eat foods with saturated fat, you will have an increase in LDL. This can cause major issues.. Implications of the relationship between risk factor (LDL-C) level and event rate.
