CHOLESTEROL

DID U KNOW ABOUT CHOLESTROL?? i think every body are familiar with this word..nowadays...it is major problem..destroying the human lives......every one bordering about this ..and try to control themselves...

ManyInnnovating market products are releasing out..to pretend the people that they take part to control this...innocent people are spending more ...they dont think even it is useful r not...anywyy..the most booming word is this...

Now i take part 2 Aware the people around me..what i know... in simple way

CHOLESTEROL is a Lipid molecule with four ringed structure which occurs in the plasma membrane of the animal cells..but not seen in plants.It acts as a precursor of the animal

Steroid harmones and Bile acids . It is called " NOTORIOUS" as it is major cause of heart diseases.

There are 2 types of cholesterol namely

1.LOW DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL( BAD CHOLESTEROL)

2.HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN CHOLESTEROL( GOOD CHOLESTEROL)

HOW IT HARMS:-

LIVER is responsible for the continous production of cholesterol which in fasting stage represents the body primary source of circulating triglyceride energy.this particles when subjected to lipase digestion the resulting particle is not cleared rapidly by liver .,which undergo additional remodeling to produce cholesterol enriched particle which has plasma life of 3 years. when this level rises it leads to coronary heart diseases.

"ADOLPH WIDAUS" WHO RECEIVED NOBLE PRIZE FOR GIVING STRUCTURE TO THIS.

LDL CHOLESTEROL /LDL-C grows by intake of eggs and dairy products which triggers heart problems so this is called as "BAD CHOLESTEROL"..if it is under control..heart,brain,kidney will work properly.

HDL CHOLESTEROL -is synthesized in liver .it is smallest and abundant lipo protein .it transfers cholesterol from pheripheral tissues to liver for excretion.it is CARDIOPROTECTIVE.SO IT IS CALLED GOOD CHOLESTEROL.it contains the enzyme "lecithin cholestrolacetyl transferase"

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES:Increased level of cholesterol leads to

1.HYPERTENSION(BP)

2.ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASES( INSUPPLY OF BLOOD TO HEART)

3.CORONARY THROMBOSIS

4.ATHEROMAL ATHEROSCLE(DEPOSITION OF CHOLESTEROL IN TUNICA MAXIMA AND INTIMA OF BLOOD VESSELS)

5.FAMILIAL HYPER CHOLESTEREMIA

FACTORS: HERDITARY,DIETARY FACTORS.

PREVENTION:

SO MY MAIN AIM IS 2 AWARE PEOPLE

PREVENTION IS DONE IN FOLLOWING WAYS:

1.AVOID SATURATED FATS IN THE DIET

2.SWITCH OVER TO POLY UNSATURATED FATTYACIDS
