A comprehensive look at your lipid metabolism, including particle number, apoB, and apoA.
25 Biomarkers Included
Total Cholesterol
A lipid crucial for proper functioning of cells and carried throughout your body in particles called lipoproteins.
LDL Cholesterol (Direct)
A direct measurement of LDL cholesterol; elevated levels are a risk factor for heart disease.
HDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of lipoprotein called HDL, which plays many roles, including the removal of cholesterol from your artery walls.
Non-HDL Cholesterol
Provides a superior way to assess heart disease risk by encompassing all the cholesterol carried by harmful lipoprotein particles.
Triglycerides
A type of fat found that signals insulin resistance and increases risk for heart disease and pancreatitis.
IDL Cholesterol
the cholesterol content carried by intermediate-density lipoprotein particles, which are transitional forms between VLDL and LDL and can contribute to atherosclerosis.
VLDL Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol carried in a type of atherogenic lipoprotein called VLDL. Too much can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries and heart disease.
Apolipoprotein A1
A protein that helps remove cholesterol from arteries and protects against heart disease and inflammation.
Apolipoprotein A-II
The second most abundant protein in HDL, involved in lipid metabolism and HDL particle stability.
Apolipoprotein B
A protein on cholesterol-carrying particles that drive plaque buildup in the arteries, and considered a top risk factor for heart attack and stroke.
LDL-P (NMR)
Total LDL particle concentration measured by NMR spectroscopy to assess cardiovascular risk more accurately than LDL cholesterol alone.
IDL Particle Number
The total number of IDL particles, which are cholesterol-rich remnant lipoproteins linked to increased cardiovascular risk.
VLDL Particle Number
The number of VLDL particles, which are triglyceride-rich lipoproteins often elevated in metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.
LDL Subclass 1 Particle Number
The number of the largest, least dense LDL particles, generally considered less atherogenic than small, dense forms.
LDL Subclass 2 Particle Number
The number of large LDL particles that are moderately dense, with intermediate atherogenic potential.
LDL Subclass 3 Particle Number
The number of medium-density LDL particles, which have greater potential to penetrate the arterial wall than larger LDL subclasses.
LDL Subclass 4 Particle Number
The number of small, dense LDL particles, which are strongly linked to higher cardiovascular risk.
LDL Subclass 5 Particle Number
The number of very small LDL particles, considered highly atherogenic due to easy arterial wall penetration.
LDL Subclass 6 Particle Number
The number of the smallest, densest LDL particles, which have the highest atherogenic potential.
LDL Apolipoprotein B
The amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in LDL particles, an indicator of the number of atherogenic LDL particles.
IDL Apolipoprotein B
The amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in IDL particles, reflecting their concentration and atherogenic potential..
VLDL Apolipoprotein B
The amount of ApoB-100 protein contained in very-low-density lipoproteins, linked to triglyceride-rich particle burden.
LDL Triglycerides
The amount of triglyceride content within LDL particles, elevated in certain dyslipidemias and insulin resistance.
IDL Triglycerides
The amount of triglyceride content within IDL particles, reflecting remnant particle metabolism.
VLDL Triglycerides
The amount of triglyceride content within VLDL particle, often elevated in metabolic syndrome.
