More alarming, if one man is exposed to two threefold risk factors-a heavy smoker with high blood...

It combines cholesterol and other fatty substances with proteins in two major forms, alpha and beta lipoproteins, so that they can circulate in the watery medium of the blood. A change in the ratio of the alpha and beta types may encourage the development of artery disease through the deposit of atheromatous (mushy, fatty) plaques in the narrow vessels. Further complicating the picture is a class of fats known as triglycerides, which may be as important as the better known...
