High cholesterol is dangerous from brain
Research from the Laboratory of Psychiatry and Experimental Alzheimers Research at the Medical University Innsbruck (Austria) demonstrated that chronic high fat cholesterol diet in rats exhibited pathologies similar to Alzheimer’s disease. The results were published in Molecular Cellular Neuroscience (45(4):408-417, 2010) with lead author Dr. Christian Humpel. The study was co-authored by PhD students, Celine… Continue reading
Monounsaturated Fats for improving levels to a cholesterol
The addition of monounsaturated fat (MUFA) to a cholesterol-lowering dietary portfolio in patients with mild to moderate elevated cholesterol levels increased HDL by 12.5% and lowered LDL levels by 35%, found a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) Low HDL-C levels and high LDL-C levels are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The… Continue reading

You can… Continue reading
Basic cholesterol tests may not be correct in all situations
The National Cholesterol Education Program maintains guidelines to assess the accuracy of methods for measuring cholesterol levels in patients. A recent study published in the journal Clinical Chemistry found that seven leading commercial methods produce results of mixed accuracy when compared to well-established techniques. In 2008, there were several different commercial homogeneous direct measurement methods… Continue reading
Study for blood cholesterol from brain control
Dispelling the notion that circulating levels of good and bad cholesterol in the blood are just the balance of dietary absorption and liver secretion and metabolism, US scientists who did tests on mice suggest that a neural circuit in the brain involving the hunger-signaling hormone ghrelin directly controls cholesterol metabolism by the liver. You can… Continue reading
