HDL metabolism
Remodels HDL particles
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| CC (Normal) | Low impact | Higher hepatic lipase activity - tends toward lower HDL. Prioritise omega-3s, olive oil and regular exercise to support HDL. |
| CT (Carrier) | Normal | Intermediate hepatic lipase activity - average HDL profile. A heart-healthy diet and activity keep lipids balanced. |
| TT (Variant) | Normal | Lower hepatic lipase activity - higher HDL, and diet has a stronger effect on your lipids. You respond especially well to a healthy-fat, high-fibre diet. |
