Hypercholesterolemia
Hypercholesterolemia likewise called elevated cholesterol is the presence of large amounts of cholesterol in the blood. It is a type of hyperlipidemia, high blood lipids, and hyper lipoproteinemia (raised dimensions of lipoproteins in the blood).Raised dimensions of non-HDL cholesterol and LDL in the blood might be an outcome of an undesirable eating routine, weight, acquired (hereditary) sicknesses, (for example LDL receptor changes in familial hypercholesterolemia), or the presence of different diseases for example type 2 diabetes and an underactive thyroid. Cholesterol is one of three important classes of lipids which every animal cell use to develop their membranes and is in this way manufactured by every animal cell. Plant cells dont produce cholesterol. It is additionally the precursor of the steroid hormones and bile acids. Since cholesterol is insoluble in water, it is transported in the blood plasma inside protein particles (lipoproteins). Lipoproteins are ordered by their thickness: Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), Intermediate Density Lipoprotein (IDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). All the lipoproteins carry cholesterol, yet high dimensions of the lipoproteins other than HDL (named non-HDL cholesterol) especially LDL-cholesterol, are related with an increased danger of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. In contrast, larger amounts of HDL cholesterol are protective. Staying away from trans fats and replacing saturated fats in adult diet with polyunsaturated fats are prescribed dietary measures to reduce total blood cholesterol and LDL. In individuals with elevated cholesterol (e.g., familial hypercholesterolemia) diet is frequently not adequate to achieve the desired lowering of LDL, and lipid-lowering medications are generally required.
Biochemistry and Modern Applications is a peer reviewed Journal, with rapid publication process. The topics like DNA polymerases, Heterochromatin, Ribosome, Non-coding DNA, Cell biology, Metabolism, Nutritional Biochemistry, Medicinal Biochemistry and Hormonal Biochemistry are studied. This is not just limited to above areas. The knowledge related to different biomolecules and their mechanisms can be studied in the journal of Biochemistry and modern applications. This journal provides an open access platform for the young scientists and researchers to share their valuable information regarding the biomolecules and their mechanism.
