For the prevention and therapy of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases every internal specialist needs basic knowledge of a rational diagnostics of lipids. The basic analytics of lipids must take into consideration (as to computation) total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. According to the newest publications of the European Society for Atherosclerosis is orientated to a total cholesterol of 5.2 mmol/l and to triglycerides of 2.3 mmol/l, in order to keep the character of the atherogenic risk as insignificant as possible.

D008074	Lipoproteins	Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.	Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
