New Mechanism to Reduce Bad Cholesterol
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism for reducing bad cholesterol. The same is based on the use of the particle that prevents its accumulation. We turn now to explain this finding would help reduce bad cholesterol.
Popularly called “bad” and “good” particles that carry cholesterol through the bloodstream. The “bad” cholesterol deposited in the pairs of glasses, with the potential threat of closures. The “good”, however, it transported to the liver for removal.
American scientists managed to create tiny particles that mimic the “good” cholesterol collected before it can accumulate and form plaque deposits. The surface of these particles is coated with fats and proteins, allowing them to adhere to and remove cholesterol from the blood. That is, they have the ability to clean up sites where plaques may rupture, causing strokes and heart attacks.
For your information, high cholesterol can cause heart attacks and cardiovascular disease, so the Spanish Society of Arteriosclerosis, provides healthy levels of cholesterol for the population:
Below 200 mg / dL: low risk.
Between 200 and 300 mg / dL: intermediate risk.
Greater than 300 mg / dL, high risk.
