Does anyone know the concentration of High density, Low density and Very low density lipoprotein in Human blood (serum or plasma)?
Many thanks

VLDL is a major carrier of triglyceride (60 -70% triglyceride 10-15% cholesterol). A major source of LDL is the degradation of VLDL. Circulating fatty acids are converted by the liver to form triglycerides that are packaged with apolipoprotein and cholesterol which are transported as very low density lipoproteins in the blood. LDLs are the cholesterol rich remnants of the lipid transported VLDL.
The normal concentration is VLDL 5-40 mg/dL. LDL F 60-190 mg/dL, M 80-200 mg/dL
HDL cholesterol levels greater than 40 to 60 mg/dL
LDL is most often considered to be too high if it is 190 mg/dL or higher.
Levels between 70 and 189 mg/dL are most often considered too high if:
You have diabetes and are between ages 40 and 75
You have diabetes and a high risk of heart disease
You have a medium or high risk of heart disease
