Advanced Cholesterol Profile

Major Factor in Chronic Disorders

Cholesterol is a necessary component of animal cells and plays a vital role in protecting human tissues. While high cholesterol levels are often associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), low cholesterol levels can also have significant health consequences. Despite this, low cholesterol levels are often overlooked, and many people focus solely on reducing high cholesterol. However, maintaining a balance between cholesterol levels is crucial for optimal health.

MosaicDX offers an Advanced Cholesterol Panel that goes beyond standard lipid panel measurements, providing a more comprehensive assessment of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of your cholesterol levels.

Why Test for Cholesterol Levels?

Cholesterol is a vital sterol found in all animal cells and plays a crucial role in protecting human tissues. It has several important functions in metabolism. It is a vital component of all cell membranes and provides structural support for vitamin D, adrenal and sex hormones, brain myelin, and bile acids which aid in fat digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

While high levels of cholesterol, particularly LDL cholesterol, have been associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), low cholesterol levels are often overlooked despite their serious health consequences. The terms “good cholesterol” and “bad cholesterol” are associated with HDL and LDL cholesterol, respectively, but if a person’s tissues have a significant overall deficiency of cholesterol, both types can be beneficial.

Interestingly, LDL cholesterol can protect against infection. It has been found to protect human red blood cells from endotoxins produced by deadly staphylococcus bacteria. High cholesterol may also be deposited as a beneficial “patch” on inflamed or injured blood vessels, especially coronary arteries. Furthermore, studying genetic disorders that prevent cholesterol synthesis can help understand the health consequences of low cholesterol. Low cholesterol has been associated with a greater risk of suicide, violence, and mood disorders such as depression, as it influences serotonin activity in the brain. Low levels of serotonin are linked to depression and violent and anti-social behavior. Overall, cholesterol is crucial for many bodily functions and, as with everything in nature, balance is key.
