Does this formular hold true when the patients LDL and HDL are low
to begin with. My LDL went from 80
to 39 and HDL from 50
to 34. So, I have a 51% reduction from LDL lowering. My HDL decrease of 16mg would increase my risk by 32%? Overall is the reduction 19% (51 -32)?
Related to this, I have heard that HDL was beneficial qualities besides reverse cholesterol transportation (anti-oxidant, anti-flamatory and anti-thrombotic). Does that mean that it does more than just counteract LDL?
