Low-Density Lipoprotein (Ldl)

Low-Density Lipoprotein (Ldl) is one of the classes of lipoproteins that transport cholesterol and fats in the body. Ldl is produced in the liver and transports cholesterol from the liver to peripheral tissues.

Ldl has a relatively low density compared to other lipoproteins. It consists of apolipoprotein B100 protein and a lipid core containing cholesteryl esters, triglycerides and phospholipids.

A high level of Ldl in the blood is one of the main risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, since excess Ldl can lead to the deposition of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels. Therefore, it is important to monitor Ldl levels and, if necessary, reduce them through lifestyle changes and medications.

Low-density lipoprotein (abbreviated Ldl) is one of the forms of lipoprotein metabolism that plays an important role in the lipid metabolism of the body. LDL are complex macromolecules consisting of proteins and fats that are capable of transporting cholesterol to various organs and tissues.

Why is low density lipoprotein needed?

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the most important forms of lipoproteins involved in blood lipid metabolism. Their antiatherogenic effect is important - the ability to prevent the development of the atherosclerotic process associated with impaired blood lipid metabolism. They improve the composition of the lipid profile by increasing the amount of high-density cholesterol, reducing
