We're supposed to keep our LDL below 100 to be healthy, but in these people, it was nearing 250.

常识认为，LDL 水平值低于 100 才算健康，但在这些患者中，这个值都接近 250。

If your LDL cholesterol is high, you are at risk for heart disease.

LDL 胆固醇水平高，就有患心脏病的风险。

As more HDL counteracts the effects of LDL.

更多的高密度脂蛋白会抵消低密度脂蛋白的影响。

Right. One is your level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or LDL.

对。一个是你的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平，或 LDL。

Saturated fat creates low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, which is the bad kind of cholesterol.

饱和脂肪会产生低密度脂蛋白，即 LDL ，这是一种有害的胆固醇。

Furthermore, it decreased the level of triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and blood glucose, and increased the level of HDL cholesterol.

此外，生酮饮食还降低了患者体内的甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇及血糖水平，增加了高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平。

This good fat helps reduce inflammation and levels of LDL, or bad cholesterol, in the blood.

这种好油脂帮助降低血液中低密度脂蛋白也就是坏胆固醇的发炎程度。

Trans fats can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease because they boost our LDL cholesterol levels.

反式脂肪会增加心血管疾病的风险，因为它们会提高我们的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平。

So the big thing he'd do is focus on treating LDL.

因此，他要做的大事是专注于治疗低密度脂蛋白相关疾病。

But we know total cholesterol is somewhat outdated, and now the concern is about LDL — the so-called " bad" cholesterol.

但谁都知道，总胆固醇这项指标已经过时了。如今大家更加关心 LDL 这一数据——所谓的“坏“胆固醇。

HDL has this good reputation because it binds to LDL, carrying that bad stuff to the liver.

高密度脂蛋白有这个好名声，因为它与低密度脂蛋白结合，把坏东西带到肝脏。

If you've ever had a cholesterol test, you'll know it's the ratio of HDL to LDL that matters.

如果你做过胆固醇测试，你就会知道高密度脂蛋白和低密度脂蛋白的比例很重要。

Statins, for instance, are very effective at lowering LDL levels, and he'd use those.

例如，他汀类药物降低低密度脂蛋白水平方面非常有效，而他会使用这些药物。

It increases your bad LDL cholesterol, and it decreases your good HDL cholesterol.

它会增加你的坏低密度脂蛋白胆固醇，并降低你的好高密度脂蛋白胆固醇。

The only real difference was a small difference in LDL.

唯一真正的差异是低密度脂蛋白（LDL）的微小差异。

Whereas saturated fat as a whole tends to raise LDL cholesterol.

而饱和脂肪作为一个整体往往会提高低密度脂蛋白胆固醇。

For example, this clustering phenomenon led geneticists to a gene associated with LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and another related to inflammation.

例如，这种聚类现象导致基因学家发现了一种与低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(一种有害的胆固醇)有关的基因，另一种与炎症有关。

That's because LDL is the " bad" cholesterol, the one that leads to artery-clogging plaques, heart disease, strokes, and other nasty stuff.

这是因为低密度脂蛋白是“坏”胆固醇，是导致动脉堵塞斑块、心脏病、中风和其它讨厌疾病的因素。

The research team found a link between raised levels of a type of cholesterol called LDL, low density lipoprotein, and the development of disease.

该研究团队发现，这种名为低密度脂蛋白（简称LDL）的胆固醇水平的升高与患痴呆症有关联。

We know that high cholesterol in the blood, specifically LDL, is a risk factor for heart disease, but so is high blood pressure and obesity.

血液中的胆固醇过高，尤其是LDL ，是心脏疾病的危险因素，但是高血压、肥胖也是。
