It is transported through the bloodstream as a part of particles called lipoproteins, which are divided into classes including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Distinguishing between these two classes, along with the 'remnant cholesterol' particles that have recently been associated with heightened risk of heart disease and stroke, is a crucial part of managing health and developing novel pharmaceuticals. Cholesterol, Lipoproteins, and Cardiovascular Health offers a thorough and rigorous overview of these particles, their properties, and their methods of categorization. Surveying both the characteristics of lipoproteins and their interactions with diet, lifestyle, therapeutics, and general health, it's an indispensable guide to these particles that can literally mean the difference between life and death. Cutting-edge and grounded in the latest research, it's a one-stop shop for understanding blood plasma lipoproteins in all their major forms. Cholesterol, Lipoproteins, and Cardiovascular Health readers will also find: Detailed discussion of topics including basic lipoprotein biochemistry, targeted therapeutics and drug development, and many more Easily readable overview of the current state of research into lipoproteins and their likely future applications Rich illustrative material enhanced by a graphical abstract at the beginning of each section offering a summary of crucial content Cholesterol, Lipoproteins, and Cardiovascular Health is suited for professionals, clinicians, and readers looking for a comprehensive overview of all aspects of plasma lipoproteins and their role in heart disease and stroke.
