LDL Oxidation
Oxidized LDL cholesterol
Coronary artery disease is the one of major causes of heart attacks and occurs when there is atherosclerosis in the vital coronary arteries, which supply the nutrient rich blood to the interior of the heart muscle. High levels of the "bad" or LDL cholesterol have been linked to the development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. However, free radicals (unstable oxygen atoms) have received more attention as the culprit of this disease. It appears that clogging occurs after the LDL cholesterol is oxidized within the wall of the blood vessel by exposure to free radicals. The white blood cells attempt to remove the damaged LDL cholesterol by "engulfing" them. Unfortunately, after ingesting the LDL, the cells cannot rid themselves of the cholesterol portion and swell up, thus the process of atherosclerosis ( thickening of the artery wall and narrowing of the coronary arteries) begins. Therefore, it is not the LDL cholesterol that blocks the artery, but the oxidized LDL that has been engulfed by the white blood cells that actually causes the damage.
In July 2002 we concluded a double blind, clinical trail using Cooper Complete Iron Free. In October 2003 an article was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition that shows the impact of Cooper Complete on homocysteine (minus 17.2%) and LDL cholesterol oxidation (minus 14.6%).
