1. ldl

   Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein that transport all fat molecules around the body in extracellular water. These groups, from least dense to most dense, are chylomicrons (aka ULDL by the overall density naming convention), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL delivers fat molecules to cells. LDL is involved in atherosclerosis, a process in which it is oxidized within the walls of arteries.

1. ldl

   LDL stands for Low-Density Lipoprotein, often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol. It is a type of cholesterol that transports fats and lipids in the bloodstream from the liver to other parts of the body and can build up in the arterial walls, potentially leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The LDL level is a significant factor considered in assessing an individual's risk for heart diseases.

Examples of LDL in a Sentence

1. The FDA:

2. Troyen Brennan:

   We expect patients to first use statins, if they can't use statins, or can't make( LDL) targets, then they would use PCSK9 inhibitors.

3. Manesh Patel:

   We continue to see that if we can lower your LDL significantly, we improve people’s cardiovascular health. And so we need as many different arrows in our quiver to try to get that done.

4. Jennifer Robinson:

   Sanofi will say you can start off at this cheaper, lower dose, if you don't reach the LDL goal, you can move up.

5. Arika Hoscheit:

   Other studies, on the other hand, have shown increased LDL levels in those following a keto diet, so heart health remains a concern, some theorize that the increased LDL levels are at least in part explained by rapid weight loss causing cholesterol to be mobilized as fat cells shrink.
