2 responses to “A/Prof. Ken Sikaris on why small dense LDL cholesterol is so harmful”
Theres hardly any cholesterol in these sites that are damaged, it’s actually more an issue of blood pressure that causes arterial damage
There needs to be damage to areas of the glycocalyx in order for the small dense LDL to get trapped. This damage is caused by things like tobacco, alcohol and, sugars to name a few. Healthy artery walls are not targets for plaque.
