HDL, the higher, the better?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL), known as "good cholesterol", higher levels of HDL can prevent as "junk" blood in the form of low density lipoprotein sedimentary blood vessel walls, the formation of arteriosclerosis plaque, repair the damage of vascular intima, can also be blood and intravascular deposit "junk" blood to clear, and carried to the liver metabolism of decomposition, finally out of the body.HDL may seem harmless, but new research from the university of Copenhagen and Copenhagen university hospital suggests that so-called good cholesterol HDL is linked to infectious diseases.
The findings, based on data from the Danish national health registry for the Copenhagen population study of 100,000 people over six years, have just been published in the European heart journal, the highest level of cardiovascular disease.The researchers found that 21 percent of people with the lowest levels of HDL cholesterol and 8 percent of those with the highest levels had a higher risk of infections.Compared to a control group, individuals with very low HDL cholesterol had a 75 percent increased risk of infectious disease, while individuals with very high HDL cholesterol had a 43 percent increased risk."Surprisingly, individuals with low HDL cholesterol and high HDL cholesterol had a higher risk of hospitalization for infectious disease, and perhaps more importantly, these same individuals had a higher risk of death from infectious disease," the researchers said.
Large number of studies in animals and cell have shown that HDL and the function of the immune system is of great significance for infectious disease susceptibility, but the study is the first study HDL is associated with the risk of infectious disease of the individuals in the general population, "the students from the university of Copenhagen and Copenhagen university hospital and the doctor Christian Medom explained Dr Madsen.
The authors cannot conclude from this study that very low or very high HDL levels are the direct cause of the increased risk of infectious disease, but conversely, they cannot rule out a direct cause-and-effect relationship, so higher HDL levels are not necessarily better, and staying within the normal range is good.Appear high density lipoprotein cholesterol should be taken seriously, take countermeasures.Do not allow it to develop, so as not to cause more serious damage to the body.Good living habits can prevent the occurrence of many diseases, the prevention and treatment of diseases is equally important, to prevent illness to correct bad living habits, smoking and prohibition of alcohol, appropriate exercise.
Right now, DLdevelop has developed several kinds of HDL ELISA Kits, if you want to know more about these kits, you can visit our website:
