What is Tested:
This protein is a major component of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), commonly referred to as “good cholesterol.” It plays a crucial role in removing cholesterol from the bloodstream and transporting it to the liver for excretion. Low levels of ApoA1 may indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
ApoB is the main protein found in Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), often called “bad cholesterol.” It is responsible for carrying cholesterol to tissues, and high levels of ApoB are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.
