0:00 Intro 1:10 Insulin regulates the enzyme that synthesizes endogenous cholesterol. 1:50 Dietary cholesterol does not have a significant impact on serum cholesterol. 2:45 Carbohydrates increase LDL and total cholesterol and insulin. 3:30 Cholesterol has powerful benefits. 5:00 Low cholesterol diets can increase endogenous production of cholesterol and the expression of LDL receptors. 5:40 High cholesterol diet expresses fewer LDL receptors. 8:00 Eggs and meat consumption has a minimal impact on serum cholesterol. 8:53 Increased LDL cholesterol may be from of increased fat metabolism. 10:30 Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance modifies LDL particles to be smaller and denser and more likely to become atherogenic. 13:50 Diabetes can be a side effect of Statin drugs. 14:20 Cholesterol is used to make bile. 16:20 A diet rich in seed oils may foster the modification of LDL cholesterol that can make the atherogenic. 17:45 LDL cholesterol has antiviral properties. 19:30 Insulin resistance and physical inactivity increase triglyceride production, leading to the formation of fats in the liver and elevated triglycerides and elevated vLDL cholesterol.
