Lipoproteins are composed of lipid droplets surrounded by a layer of fat associated with phosphorus-containing chemical groups called Phospholipid. They are characterized as amphipathic. The polar layer containing phosphorus is bound Outward, ie towards water, making it transmissible through blood. Analysis of Lipoproteins
Lipoprotein tests are an indicator of the quality of cholesterol in the blood, which does not show the normal lipid profile. The normal lipid test gives quantitative results for both total cholesterol in the blood, low lipoprotein Low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. While the analysis of protein lipids divide cholesterol into other subtypes by size and density. Types of Lipoproteins and reference readings
It is necessary to fast for 12 to 14 hours before the examination. Reference readings are based on fasting, and the values and readings vary according to age. However, in persons over the age of 18 years, they are as follows in milligrams / deciliters: [3]

Importance of Protein Fat Analysis Knowing the size of cholesterol molecules is very important in addition to knowing the numerical value of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins. The speed of the direction and the passage of cholesterol to the blood vessels depend on the size and number of LDL cholesterol. The smaller the volume of LDL molecules, Less cholesterol is becoming easier to direct and go to the blood vessels. Similarly, high-density lipoproteins do not contain a large amount of cholesterol, so cholesterol will not be removed from blood vessels in people with a high proportion of low-density lipoproteins as in people with the largest volume. Low-density lipoproteins also reduce the numerical value of total cholesterol. So people with a high proportion of low-density lipoproteins or low-density lipoproteins may be more likely to develop coronary disease, despite their lower overall cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

Effect of Diet in Protein Fat Analysis Unsaturated fats (omega-3s), such as fish oil, are substances that reduce cholesterol and triglycerides significantly. Monounsaturated Fatty Acids and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, such as those found in olive oil, peanuts, and sunflower oil, also reduce cholesterol in the blood. Foods high in saturated fats are associated with an increased level of cholesterol in the blood. [1]
