They are very complex molecules of fats circulating diluted into the bloodstream to provide energy and other physiological functions to the cells of the body. Example of them are cholesterol, HDL ("good" and "bad") LDL, triglycerides as. While they are indispensable to life, its excessive concentration in blood carry serious cardiovascular health problems, so it is very necessary to maintain their levels within the correct parameters. Greetings, Melani.
blood lipids is incorrectly written, and should be written as "blood lipid" being its meaning:
Lipids, from the Greek lípos lipou: fat, are one of the three main categories of foods, along with 40 proteins; 41 proteins; and carbohydrates. Adequate food lipids should represent between 20% and 30% of the calories consumed, bearing in mind that each gram of fat has 9 calories and that a normal man takes every day about 2,000 calories. Lipids in blood are cholesterol and triglycerides, which can be measured in a blood test. Total cholesterol should not be greater than 200 mg/dl ( milligrams per deciliter of blood ) and acceptable triglycerides is 150 mg/dl or less.
