What Makes Ldl Cholesterol High
Nutrition question…………?
I absolutely cannot figure these questions out and I need help really badly on these three questions.
Thank you
1. Sam has a cholesterol level over 200mg/dl and is on a statin (cholesterol synthesis inhibitor) drug. If Sam has a diet high in cholesterol, what will be the effect on his cholesterol level and why?
2. Sam goes off the statin drug because it makes his muscles hurt (myaglia). Sam stays on his low cholesterol diet but does not limit his carbohydrates and his choleseterol level goes up. Why?
3. Mandy gets a blood test that shows she a high total cholesterol level (over 200mg/dl) but her HDL level is high and her LDL level is low? What further tests on cholesterol values and inflammation could she do to help her understand her risk for heart disease? What do these tests mean?
you might get a more complete answer if this were in the health section.
