Cholesterol / Blood Glucose

Hyperlipidemia 

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.  
HDL

Triglyceride (Medium-chain triglyceride MCT fatty acids oil) 

1. Statin lipid-lowering medication
Consumer Reports Statins Update: Pravastatin Pravachol, Simvastatin Zocor 

Reduction of heart attacks: Atorvastatin (Lipitor), Lovastatin (Altoprev), Pravastatin (Pravachol), Simvastatin (Zocor), Rosuvastatin (Crestor) 

Reduction of deaths: Atorvastatin (Lipitor), Pravastatin (Pravachol), Simvastatin (Zocor) 

Muscle damage: hydrophilic statins (fluvastatin, rosuvastatin Crestor 5/10/20/40/80mg, pravastatin), are less toxic than lipophilic statins (atorvastatin Lipitor, lovastatin, and simvastatin Zocor) 

Ezetimibe (Zetia) inhibits the absorption of dietary cholesterol from the intestine
