Difference between Atheroma and Low-density lipoprotein

Atheroma vs. Low-density lipoprotein

An atheroma is a reversible accumulation of degenerative material in the inner layer of an artery wall. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein which transport all fat molecules around the body in the extracellular water.

Similarities between Atheroma and Low-density lipoprotein

Atheroma and Low-density lipoprotein have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): American Heart Association, Artery, Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease, Cholesterol, Endothelium, Fatty streak, High-density lipoprotein, Intermediate-density lipoprotein, Lipid, Lipoprotein, Low-density lipoprotein, National Institutes of Health, Statin, Very low-density lipoprotein.

American Heart Association

The American Heart Association (AHA) is a non-profit organization in the United States that fosters appropriate cardiac care in an effort to reduce disability and deaths caused by cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Artery

An artery (plural arteries) is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc).

Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque.

Cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol (from the Ancient Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol) is an organic molecule.

Endothelium

Endothelium refers to cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Fatty streak

A fatty streak is the first grossly visible (visible to the naked eye) lesion in the development of atherosclerosis.

High-density lipoprotein

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the five major groups of lipoproteins.

Intermediate-density lipoprotein

Intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs) belong to the lipoprotein particle family and are formed from the degradation of very low-density lipoproteins as well as high-density lipoproteins.

Lipid

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.

Lipoprotein

A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly whose purpose is to transport hydrophobic lipid (a.k.a. fat) molecules in water, as in blood or extracellular fluid.

Low-density lipoprotein

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein which transport all fat molecules around the body in the extracellular water.

National Institutes of Health

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research, founded in the late 1870s.

Statin

Statins, also known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, are a class of lipid-lowering medications.

Atheroma and Low-density lipoprotein Comparison

Atheroma has 88 relations, while Low-density lipoprotein has 107. As they have in common 15, the Jaccard index is 7.69% = 15 / (88 + 107).
