Cholesterol / Blood Glucose

LDL-C normal-100 mg/dL, borderline-130, high-160.  
LDL-P Labcorp 
LP(a) Lipoprotein(a) 
- LDL size patterns, large low density LDL particles are described as pattern A, and small high density LDL particles are pattern B. 
- A correspondence between higher triglyceride levels and higher levels of smaller, denser LDL particles and alternately lower triglyceride levels and higher levels of the larger, less dense ("buoyant") LDL.  
- A stronger correlation between human clinically obvious cardiovascular events and quantitatively measured particle concentrations.
