LDL Cholesterol Has A PUFA Core

[Hugh Johnson]

Each native LDL particle enables emulsification, i.e. surrounding/packaging all fatty acids being carried, enabling these fats to move around the body within the water outside cells. Each particle contains a single apolipoprotein B-100 molecule (Apo B-100, a protein that has 4536 amino acid residues and a mass of 514 kDa), along with 80 to 100 additional ancillary proteins. Each LDL has a highly hydrophobic core consisting of polyunsaturated fatty acid known as linoleate and hundreds to thousands (about 1500 commonly cited as an average) esterified and non-esterified cholesterol molecules.

What do you know, maybe LDL cholesterol is bad for you. Though it seem to have an important role. I wonder how a PUFA- deficient body would deal with that.

Anyway, remember to eat your canola oil to keep cholesterol down.
