Memory Loss, Dementia Risk And Low Levels Of Good Cholesterol Linked

Categorie : Alzheimer's
Low levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) - the "good" cholesterol - in middle age may increase the risk of memory loss and lead to dementia later in life, researchers reported in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology: Journal of the American Heart Association. Observing 3,673 par ...

Alzheimer's Society Comment On The Link Between High Density Lipoprotein And Dementia

Categorie : Alzheimer's
One of the functions of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) is to transport cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver to be degraded. It is clearly important to have enough of this transporter available. This study shows that if there is not enough High Density Lipoprotein to transport cholestero ...
