- The pattern of high triglycerides, low HDL, and small dense LDL is strongly associated with insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. — LDL Cholesterol, Keto, and the Cardiologist's Perspective
- Cardiovascular risk from LDL is determined by particle size and density rather than total LDL quantity alone. — LDL Cholesterol, Keto, and the Cardiologist's Perspective
- Small, dense LDL particles oxidize more readily and penetrate the endothelium more easily than large, buoyant LDL. — LDL Cholesterol, Keto, and the Cardiologist's Perspective
- Poor cholesterol quality is not defined by a high LDL number but by high triglycerides, low HDL, and predominance of small dense LDL. — LDL Cholesterol, Keto, and the Cardiologist's Perspective
