triglycerides, chlolesterol, especially helpful in
maintaining clean arteries preventing occurence of heart
diseases. The Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) are
responsible for transporting fats to cells for energy use,
and other processes. A high concentration of LDL
becomes oxidized (think of metal rusting), and it is at this
point it can lead to artherosclerosis or hardening of the
arteries. A normal range for HDL/LDL ration is abut
130 mg/dl. A high ratio could indicate a high level of
LDL.
