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

饱脂肪会产生低密度脂，即 LDL ，这是一种有害的固醇。

There's a difference between where men and women enter the HDL danger zone.

女的高密度脂危险区是有区别的。

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

这种好油脂帮助降低血液中低密度脂也就是坏固醇的发炎程度。

Trans fats can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease because they boost our LDL cholesterol levels.

反式脂肪会增加心血管疾病的险，因为它们会提高我们的低密度脂固醇水平。

As more HDL counteracts the effects of LDL.

更多的高密度脂会抵消低密度脂的影响。

Another is high density lipoprotein — or HDL cholesterol, which is the " good" cholesterol.

另一种是高密度脂——或者高密度脂固醇，这是一种有益的固醇。

There aren't drugs that bring down high HDL.

没有药物可以降低高的高密度脂。

If you've ever had a cholesterol test, you'll know it's the ratio of HDL to LDL that matters.

如果你做过固醇测试，你就会知道高密度脂低密度脂的比例很重要。

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。一种是低密度脂——也被称为低密度脂固醇。

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

此外，生酮饮食还降低了患者体内的甘油三酯、低密度脂固醇及血糖水平，增加了高密度脂固醇水平。

If a doctor sees 100 patients in a week, 7 of them will be in this HDL danger zone.

如果一个医生在一周内看了 100 个病人，其中 7 人将处于这种高密度脂危险区。

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脂相关疾病。

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

例如，他汀类药物降低低密度脂水平方面非常有效，而他会使用这些药物。

In those cells, the insulin activates lipoprotein lipase, which is an enzyme that helps those adipocytes accumulate more fat molecules.

在这些细胞中，胰岛素激活脂脂肪酶，一种帮助脂肪细胞堆积更多脂肪分子的酶。

One gene in particular, called ApoB, helps move cholesterol out of the blood—where it causes problems in humans—and into cells.

特别是编码为载脂B的基因有助于清除血液中对人类有害的固醇转变成细胞代谢。

I've read that estrogen can increase HDL in women, and that it can be protective.

我之前读到过，雌激素可以增加女的高密度脂，并且高密度脂有保护作用。

You can read her new Science of Health column on HDL in the middle of May, on sciam. com.

你可以在 5 月中旬在 sciam.com 上的“健康科学”专栏中，阅读她关于高密度脂的新文章。

But once women reach menopause, their estrogen levels drop, and HDL becomes less protective.

而一进入更年期，女的雌激素水平就会下降，高密度脂的保护作用就会减弱。

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

它会增加你的坏低密度脂固醇，同时减少好的高密度脂固醇。

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

比如，它是否改变了低密度脂固醇、高密度脂固醇甘油三酯的水平？
