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。

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

饱和肪会产生低密度蛋白，即 LDL ，这是一种有害的胆固醇。

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蛋白相关疾病。

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

例如，他汀类低低密度蛋白水平常有效，而他会使用这些。

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

这种好油帮助低血液中低密度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蛋白胆固醇水平。

As more HDL counteracts the effects of LDL.

更多的高密度蛋白会抵消低密度蛋白的影响。

Uh, your, your LDL is 75.

呃，你的 LDL 是 75。

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，你就会知道高密度蛋白和低密度蛋白的比例很重要。

You've probably heard of some of these. One is low density lipoprotein — also known as LDL cholesterol.

你可能听说过其中的一些。一种是低密度蛋白——也被称为低密度蛋白胆固醇。

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。

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

对。一个是你的低密度蛋白胆固醇水平，或 LDL。

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

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

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

高密度蛋白有这个好名声，因为它与低密度蛋白结合，把坏东西带到肝脏。

But we know total cholesterol is somewhat outdated, and now the concern is about LDL — the so-called " bad" cholesterol.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

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

它会增加你的坏低密度蛋白胆固醇，同时减少好的高密度蛋白胆固醇。

Like did it change LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides?

比如，它是否改变了低密度蛋白胆固醇、高密度蛋白胆固醇和甘油三酯的水平？

If LDL is high, prescribe a satin.

如果低密度蛋白高，就开他汀类。

But that's the theory in LDL cholesterol.

但这是关于低密度蛋白胆固醇的理论。

And so when we talk about metabolic health, we really shouldn't just isolate LDL cholesterol.

因此，当我们谈论代谢健康时，我们真的不应该仅仅孤立地看待低密度蛋白胆固醇。
