Lipids
CHOLESTEROL - High density lipoproteins (HDL) is desired as opposed to the low density lipoproteins (LDL), two types of cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol has been seen in arthrosclerosis, diabetes, hypothyroidism, pancreatic dysfunction and pregnancy. Low levels are seen in depression, malnutrition, liver insufficiency, malignancies, anemia, Hyperthyroidism and infection.
Normal Adult Range: 120 - 240 mg/dl
Optimal Range: 185-200 mg/d
Discussion
Cholesterol is an important part of our diet. It is essential to the proper function and structure of cell membranes. Bile acids are derived from cholesterol. The liver, adrenals, sex glands, intestines, and even the placenta, manufacture cholesterol. Cholesterol is best used as an indicator of other metabolic dysfunction. Should not be considered a disease by itself unless extreme, which indicates familial cause. Check triglycerides and HDL/LDL. Cholesterol is increased with endocrine hypo function. Low levels are not necessarily desirable as it is associated with increased incidence of malignancy and mental illness
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) - studies correlate the association between high levels of LDL and arterial arthrosclerosis
Normal Adult Range: 62 - 130 mg/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: 81 mg/dl
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) - A high level of HDL is an indication of a healthy metabolic system if there is no sign of liver disease or intoxication.
Normal Adult Range: 35 - 135 mg/dl
Optimal Adult Reading: +85 mg/dl
Discussion
HDL is comprised of phospholipids and one or two apolipoproteins. It plays a role in the metabolism of other lipoproteins and in the transport of cholesterol to the liver. The HDL is a class of lipoproteins produced by the liver and intestines.A combination of increased triglyceride, cholesterol, and LDL with reduced HDL is indicative of atherogenic tendencies. A diet high in sugar may decrease HDL while increasing total serum cholesterol.
TRIGLYCERIDES - Increased levels may be present in atherosclerosis, hypothyroidism, liver disease, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction, metabolic disorders, toxemia, and nephrotic syndrome. Decreased levels may be present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, brain infarction, hyperthyroidism, malnutrition, and malabsorption.
