Blood Lipid Profile

536 Words3 Pages

There exists many forms of heart disease; the most common is caused by the blockage of coronary arteries, which allow blood to flow to the heart, and increased blood pressure called coronary artery disease (U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2015). Performing a blood lipid profile will determine one’s risks level for developing heart disease. The lipid blood profile collects the overall results of lipids in the blood, such as total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides (Whitney & Rofles, 2011). Cholesterol is a type of lipid found in blood and body tissue that produces hormones, vitamin D, and substances that breakdown food. The lipoproteins LDL and HDL help to distribute cholesterol

    high cholesterol, triglyceride and BP levels. These levels are caused by Room 3’s diet that is high in saturated fat and grease which dramatically increases the amount of lipids within the blood contributing to the formation of an atherosclerotic plaque leading to the impairment of blood flow (National Institute of Health, 2015b). After six weeks of treatment at the cardiac rehabilitation center and lifestyle changes, Room 3 admits that he is still under a lot of stress. During the administration of an exercise stress test, he complains of chest pain, discomfort and pressure.

    o Discuss biochemical/molecular biological/physiological basis of the disease Hyperlipidemia can either be genetically inherited or caused by lifestyle habits such as obesity, unhealthy diet, and it certainly is more common in the elderly. Even though patients with this condition have no symptoms, homeostatic changes in the body such as both levels of triglycerol and cholesterol are elevated in the blood stream. The primary source of cholesterol is not from diet, but from liver synthesis. LDL receptors are important in maintaining LDL levels, also known as “bad” cholesterol.

    In a recent article written by Kris Gunnars, he brings to the reader’s attention that according to studies “It is true that meat tends to be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, but this is not a cause for concern because they do not have adverse effects on blood cholesterol or increase the risk of heart disease” (Gunnars). What many people did not know is cholesterol is actually a dynamic molecule in the human body. It is found in every cell membrane and used to make hormones. The liver produces large amounts of it to make sure we always have enough. When we get a lot of cholesterol from the diet, the liver just produces less of it instead, so the total amount does not change much.

    Lipids are an essential macromolecule found within the body and it has many structures and has a number of functions within the body. Cholesterol is a type of lipid, which is responsible for the structure of the plasma membrane in the cell. They provide a barrier between the cell and the cell’s external environment (Alberts, 2004). Cholesterol is moved around the body through two mechanisms: Low-density lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins. High levels of LDH can cause cardiovascular disease, so therefore these elevations can be fatal.

    The purpose of this research was to identify how hyperlipidemia effects heart performance. Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which excess cholesterol and triglycerol are present in the blood stream, and this study focused on the impact of high cholesterol. The activation of KATP channels by activators, cromakalim and diazoxide, is a cardioprotective mechanism seen in animals. The study focused on male Wistar rats, where ventricular tissue was extracted and processed for comparison between normal diet and cholesterol fed rats, while many tests included PCR analysis, Western blot analysis, etc. Cholesterol fed rats vs. normal fed rats showed a decrease in cardiac ATP production, an increase in lactate levels, and an increase in oxidative stress in myocardium.

Olestra, however, uses a sucrose (table sugar) molecule joined at esters bonds to form eight fatty acids, instead.
