In this short video, Dr. Bikman explains the role of cholesterol transporters in the blood, specifically focusing on LDL and VLDL.
He clarifies that LDL is a transporter carrying cholesterol, triglycerides, and proteins, originating as VLDL from the liver. As VLDL moves through the blood, it becomes LDL.
Contrary to common fears, Ben suggests that higher LDL with lower VLDL levels is associated with a lower incidence of heart disease, referencing a study that supports this finding.
