2. What is blood cholesterol?
• Although it does not have the effects of
hormones, like testosterone and
cortisol, it is the building block for sex
and stress hormones.
• It is also important for building cells.
• Unfortunately, it is also involved in
clogging arteries.

3. What is LDL cholesterol?
• By nature cholesterol is not water
soluble, so for it to be transported in the
blood it must be carried by a class of
proteins referred to as lipoproteins.
• Low Density Lipoproteins take cholesterol
from the liver to peripheral tissues.
• High Density Lipoproteins take cholesterol
from the peripheral tissues to the liver for
removal.

4. What is Bad cholesterol?
• LDL cholesterol is often referred to as
bad cholesterol because these are the
numbers that correlate best with artery
disease.
• When LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in
the blood are high the cholesterol is
often deposited in the arteries perhaps
leading to blockages.

5. So what do you do if you have
high cholesterol?
• See your family physician.
• They will:
– Tell you to eat healthier
– Tell you to exercise more
– And perhaps put you on a lipid lowering
medication
