63. Cholesterol, Other Lipids, And Lipoproteins contained in fats in both animals and plants. Lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are protein spheres that transport cholesterol, triglyceride, or other lipid molecules http://www.well-connected.com/report.cgi/000023_1.htm

Cholesterol, Other Lipids, and Lipoproteins WHAT ARE CHOLESTEROL, OTHER LIPIDS, AND LIPOPROTEINS? Lipids are the building blocks of any of the fats or fatty substances found in animals and plants. They are microscopic layered spheres of oil, which, in animals, are composed mainly of cholesterol, triglycerides, proteins (called lipoproteins), and phospholipids (molecules made up of phosphoric acid, fatty acids, and nitrogen). Lipids do not dissolve in water and are stored in the body to serve as sources of energy. Cholesterol Cholesterol is a white, powdery substance that is found in all animal cells and in animal-based foods (not in plants). In spite of its bad press, cholesterol is an essential nutrient necessary for many functions, including the following: Repairing cell membranes. Manufacturing vitamin D on the skin's surface. Production of hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Possibly helping cell connections in the brain that are important for learning and memory. Regardless of these benefits, when cholesterol levels rise in the blood, they can have dangerous consequences, depending on the type of cholesterol. Although the body acquires some cholesterol through diet, about two-thirds is manufactured in the liver, its production stimulated by saturated fat. Saturated fats are those found in animal products, meat, and dairy products. Triglycerides Triglycerides are composed of fatty acid molecules and are the basic chemicals contained in fats in both animals and plants.

Lipoproteins and Health Fats and cholesterol, serve many very important roles in our bodies besides supplying a source of energy. They, however, must be processed in a special way because they are not water soluble, meaning that they will not dissolve into our blood plasma without first being modified. lipid-carrying particles Fats (lipids) present in the diet must be absorbed and transported in the blood. Fats are insoluble in water and so lipid compounds such as cholesterol, fatty acids, oil soluble vitamins, and triglycerides need to be associated with proteins, forming water soluble lipoproteins, in order to be transported around the body. This represents the classic problem of oil and water not mixing (blood plasma is a watery environment). Exactly how the problem is solved is by combining (or coating) very insoluble lipids with more polar ones like cholesterol esters and phospholipids and adding protein to form lipoprotein complexes that are hydrophilic (likes water). These lipoprotein complexes vary with respect to size and density - the smaller the complex, the greater the density. Also, the denser the complex, the higher the proportion of cholesterol to triglyceride.

Frankl, M.D. Infoaging Correspondent Over the past three-four decades, the knowledge of the role of lipids, fat-like substances in the blood, in disease states has grown exponentially. Lipids include total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids (other forms of fat in the blood). Fats are carried in the blood attached to proteins and called lipoproteins. An examination of all of these fatty substances in the blood is often called a lipoprotein or lipid profile There have been three major/seminal studies resulting in extensive reports about lipids during the past ten years. They came out of the National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health under the title of "The National Cholesterol Education Program." First, the Adult Treatment Panel I (ATP I) in 1991, followed by ATP II in 1993, and ATP III in 2001 (1-3). In each of these reports, new research has provided additional information, and often revision of prior recommendations. Therefore, it is important for people to educate themselves, and most critically, to contact their doctors about reports in this ever-changing field.

66. The Dr. Rath Health Foundation The effect of vitamin C on the blood levels of cholesterol and other blood fats has been documented in numerous clinical studies. http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/NHC/cholesterol/cellular_solutions.htm

HOMEPAGE Natural Eradication of High Cholesterol Levels Learn more about Cellular Health Conventional medicine Modern Cellular Medicine provides a new understanding about the factors causing the rise of cholesterol and other secondary risk factors, as well as their natural prevention. Cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDL), lipoprotein (a) and other metabolic products are ideal repair factors, and their blood levels increase in response to a structural weakening of the artery walls. A chronic weakness of the blood vessel walls increases the demand and, thereby, the production rate of these repair molecules in the liver. Cellular Medicine Scientific research and clinical studies How Vitamins and Other Nutritional Supplements Can Help Patients With Elevated Cholesterol Levels The temporary rise in cholesterol is an additional sign of the healing process in the artery walls and the decreasing of fatty deposits. The mechanism described here is, of course, not only valid for cholesterol, but also for triglycerides, LDL, lipoprotein (a) and other secondary risk factors, which have accumulated over decades inside the artery walls and have been slowly released into the bloodstream. Should your cholesterol levels rise when you start following these recommendations, it can indicate the reversal of existing deposits in your artery walls. You should continue the vitamin program until, after several months, the blood level of cholesterol decreases below the initial values. A diet high in soluble fiber (e.g. oat bran, cereals and pectins) can further decrease cholesterol and other secondary risk factors in the blood.

Most Americans eat too much fat and cholesterol. Cholesterol What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all animals including people. It is an essential part of cells in the body and is used to make certain hormones and digest fats. There are two different types of cholesterol. Blood, or serum, cholesterol circulates in the blood. Dietary cholesterol comes from the food we eat. Is all blood cholesterol the same? The chemical substance is the same. However, it is transported in the blood by different carriers. The relative amounts of cholesterol transported by each carrier can affect the risk of heart disease. The two major blood cholesterol carriers are LDL and HDL (see Table 1).

THE CHOLESTEROL MYTH Part 2: Dietary Fats and Heart Disease For what a man would like to be true, that he more readily believes. Francis Bacon That diet might play a part as a cause of CHD was hypothesised by another American doctor, Ancel Keys, in 1953. Using data from seven countries in his 'Seven Countries Study', Keys compared the death rates from CHD and the amounts of fats eaten in those countries to demonstrate that heart disease mortality was higher in the countries that consumed more fat than it was in those countries that consumed less. (At that time, data from many more countries were available. It seems that Keys ignored the data from those that did not support his hypothesis.) And so the 'diet/heart' hypothesis was born. But how do we know it is true? It is all very well having a theory, what you have to do then is prove it. In medicine, the usual way is to select two groups of people, as identical for sex, age, and lifestyle as possible. One group called the control group , carries on as normal while the other, called the

More Articles Cholesterol - What is it? by Monique N. Gilbert, B.Sc The American Heart Association (AHA) states that cholesterol is a substance found in all animal-based foods and fats. (Plant-based foods do not contain cholesterol.) They also say that the human body constantly makes cholesterol, mostly in the liver and kidneys. In our body, cholesterol is most common in the blood, brain tissue, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands and the fatty covers around nerve fibers. It helps absorb and move fatty acids. Cholesterol is necessary to form cell membranes, for the making of vitamin D on the surface of the skin and the making of various hormones, including the sex hormones. It sometimes hardens in the gallbladder and forms into gallstones. High amounts of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to the development of cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels, known as atherosclerosis. Cholesterol, and other fats, can't dissolve in the blood. They have to be transported to and from the cells by special carriers of lipids and proteins called lipoproteins. There are several kinds of lipoproteins, but the ones to be most concerned about are low density and high density lipoproteins.

When losing weight meant the same thing as losing fat? When convenience foods were naively assumed to have nutritional value? Now that totaling fat grams beats counting calories, fat calipers are preferred over the bathroom scale, and most everything on the inside aisles of the supermarket is viewed with suspicion, it helps to be a (thin or thinning) fat sleuth. Food labels list grams of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and tell how many calories in an average serving are from fat. But that's only part of the story. To figure out the rest you have to locate the list of ingredientsand read between the lines. Too much fatboth in your diet and on your anatomyis a major health hazard. Here are some basic guidelines: 1. Your body requires some fat, so eat a little but make sure it's the right kind.

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is made in the body by the liver. Cholesterol forms part of every cell in the body and serves a number of vital functions. Excess Cholesterol Sometimes, however, our bodies make more cholesterol than we need, and this excess cholesterol circulates in the bloodstream. High levels of cholesterol in the blood can clog blood vessels and increase the risk for heart disease and stroke. Dietary Cholesterol Our bodies make too much cholesterol when we eat too much saturated fat in our diet. Saturated fat is the kind of fat found in animal-based foods such as meat and dairy products. We also get some cholesterol directly from animal-based foods in our diet such as meat, eggs, and dairy products. Plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, and grains do not contain cholesterol. Due to the high saturated fat content of the average diet, more than one-half of American adults have blood cholesterol levels that are too high.

Fat in Yogurt Are All Fats Unhealthy? No! Some fats are essential to our health. The reason that fats have a bad name is because certain fats (saturated fats) are a major cause of coronary heart disease. But this does not mean that all fats are bad. So Which Fats are Good? Fats fall into two categories: Saturated Fats Unsaturated Fats Note : There is a third 'hybrid' category of fats, called Trans-fats (or hydrogenated fats). Typically, these are unsaturated fats used in food manufacturing processes in which they are 'cooked' and turned into saturated fats. Found mainly in margarines and shortenings, these trans-fats are especially unhealthy. Saturated Fats Saturated fats come from animal foods (meat, cheese, eggs, dairy) and a few oils like palm kernel oil. These fats are not essential to health - in fact, if consumed in excess, they can be difficult to metabolise (causing weight gain) and may lead to narrowing of the arteries (causing heart disease).

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page This article originally appeared in the May 1994 FDA Consumer . The version below is from a reprint of the original article and contains revisions made in November 1994, January 1996, and January 1999. O nce upon a time, we didn't know anything about fat except that it made foods tastier. We cooked our food in lard or shortening. We spread butter on our breakfast toast and plopped sour cream on our baked potatoes. Farmers bred their animals to produce milk with high butterfat content and meat "marbled" with fat because that was what most people wanted to eat. A Consumer's Guide to Fats by Eleanor Mayfield But ever since word got out that diets high in fat are related to heart disease, things have become more complicated. Experts tell us there are several different kinds of fat, some of them worse for us than others. In addition to saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, there are triglycerides, trans fatty acids, and omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Most people have learned something about cholesterol, and many of us have been to the doctor for a blood test to learn our cholesterol "number." Now, however, it turns out that there's more than one kind of cholesterol, too.
