High Cholesterol
We speak of hypercholesterolemia when there is an abnormal increase in cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood.
Cholesterol reaches the blood mainly through 2 origins: from the organism itself which produces it in the liver or from foods of animal origin such as meat, seafood, dairy products and finally a 3th unknown origin: stress.
In adults, the normal total cholesterol level is: N = 1.80 to 2.80 g / liter and the normal triglyceride level is: N = 0.75 to 1.50 / liter.
Causes: liver failure, diabetes, obesity, overeating, hypertension, stress
At-risk subjects: post-menopausal women or without ovaries, obese, smokers, hypertensive diabetics.
The “good” cholesterol = HDL (High Density Lipoproteins). “Bad” cholesterol = LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins)
The statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs widely used in cardiovascular disorders: atorvastatin and provastatin are commonly prescribed but can have harmful effects on muscle energy production and increase the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles (the heart is a muscle and cardiac events can occur following the use of certain statins). Statins block the action of omega 3.
