Your profile is similar to mine, although my triglycerides are much lower. I asked my doctor if we should get the CHO/HDL ratio below 4.0 and she said: "Way below 4.0".

My total was 175, HDL 46, LDL 105, Triglycerides 118.

Thank you....I have to admit that my emotions run more to pure relief rather than pride. This thing has had me fairly well scared for quite awhile and with control the fear is going away. I have a lot to be thankful for...:)

What is VLDL? Isn't that reading what the new NMR profile encompasses? Something to do with the type (size & form) of the LDL?

Hmmmmm, the VLDL is up over the pre LC lipid panel.

Lipoproteins are mixtures of fatty cholesterol and proteins in the blood that transport cholesterol, triglycerides, and other lipids to various tissues. There are three types: high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is composed mostly of cholesterol, with little protein. VLDL is often called "bad cholesterol" because it deposits cholesterol on the walls of arteries. Increased levels of VLDL are associated with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

On the contrary, high density lipoprotein (HDL), sometimes referred to as "good cholesterol," seems to protect against blood vessel and heart diseases.
