[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1674968, member: 196898"] Here in the UK, LDL is usually calulated using the Friedewald Formula LDL = TC - HDL - TG An actual lab essay of LDL is expensive, so it is only necessary to measure LDL in a sample where TG is high since the formula has good correlation to measured values for lower TG. Ergo, RC in the OP post is what we in the UK call TG in the standard lipid panel. Edit: recent understanding and research does seem to correlate TG with sLDL particles, and further correlates sLDL as being linked to CVE risk factor, This research is not yet accepted by mainstream endocrinology, but is the basic working hypothesis by the likes of Tim Noakes and Ken Sikaris et al.
