Research Introduction
Lipid profile, including triglycerides and total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol, are modifiable factors
sensitive to obesity.
is a blood test that can measure the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood.
A cholesterol test can help determine your risk of the buildup of fatty deposits (plaques) in your
arteries that can lead to narrowed or blocked arteries throughout your body (atherosclerosis).
* Total cholesterol. This is a sum of your blood's cholesterol content.
* Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. This is called the "bad" cholesterol.
* High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. This is called the "good" cholesterol because it
helps carry away LDL cholesterol,
* Triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood. When you eat, your body converts
calories it doesn't need into triglycerides, which are stored in fat cells. High triglyceride levels
are associated with several factors, including being overweight, eating too many sweets or
drinking too much alcohol, smoking, being sedentary, or having diabetes with elevated blood
sugar levels.(8)
The 3 major components of the dyslipidemia of insulin resistance are increased triglyceride
levels, decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and changes in the composition of
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Hyperinsulinemia and the central obesity that
typically accompanies insulin resistance are thought to lead to overproduction of very low-
density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol. The result is more triglyceride-rich particles, fewer HDL
particles, and more small, dense LDL. Postprandial triglyceride levels and measures of
postprandial remnants also may contribute to increased insulin resistance. Deficiency of
lipoprotein lipase, an insulin-sensitive enzyme, might explain the abnormal levels of remnant
particles in insulin resistance. (9,10)
