Namaskar!! Our liver naturally produces cholesterol and this cholesterol then travels through the whole body with the help of protein.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in your blood and all of your body’s cells. Cholesterol is required to keep your cells and organs healthy. Your liver produces all of the cholesterol required by your body. However, cholesterol can also be obtained through the foods you eat, particularly meat, eggs, poultry, and dairy products. Dietary fat-rich foods can also cause your liver to produce higher cholesterol. There are 2 types of cholesterols , bad as well as good. Good cholesterol which is called as HDL and bad cholesterol is LDL and VLDL. You may be at risk for heart disease and other dangerous illnesses if you have too much LDL cholesterol in your blood. Plaque, a fatty substance that narrows the arteries and prevents blood from flowing normally, can form when LDL levels are high. A heart attack can occur when blood supply to the heart is blocked. Stroke and peripheral artery disease can occur when blood supply to the brain is impeded. You may not have any symptoms if you have high cholesterol, but you could be at serious risk for heart disease. A cholesterol test can provide significant information to your doctor about your blood cholesterol levels. LDL cholesterol levels LDL, also known as “bad” cholesterol, is the most common cause of artery blockages. HDL levels are important. HDL, or “good” cholesterol, aids in the removal of “bad” LDL cholesterol. Cholesterol Total. The sum of your blood’s low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. Triglycerides A form of fat that can be present in your bloodstream. High triglyceride levels, according to some studies, may raise the risk of heart disease, particularly in women. VLDL Another kind of “bad” cholesterol is very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). High VLDL levels have been linked to the formation of plaque in the arteries. Because measuring VLDL is difficult, these levels are frequently calculated using triglyceride measurements. This bad cholesterol deposits itself in the blood vessels and causes heart attacks as well as strokes. So such a cholesterol can be really dangerous. What is the purpose of a cholesterol test?
