Ikholesterol iyinto emuncu etholakala egazini lakho nasemaseli akho. Isibindi sakho senza iningi le-cholesterol emzimbeni wakho. Okunye kuvela ekudleni okudlayo. I-cholesterol ihamba egazini lakho igoqwe emaphaketheni abizwa ngama-lipoproteins.

I-cholesterol iza ngezindlela ezimbili:

I-low-density lipoprotein (LDL) uhlobo “olubi,” olungenampilo lwe-cholesterol. I-cholesterol ye-LDL ingakha emithanjeni yakho bese yakha okunamafutha, amadiphozithi we-waxy abizwa ngokuthi ama-plaque.

I-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) uhlobo “oluhle,” olunempilo lwe-cholesterol. Ihambisa i-cholesterol eyeqile emithanjeni yakho iye esibindini sakho, okuyisusa emzimbeni wakho.

Icholesterol uqobo ayiyimbi. Umzimba wakho udinga i-cholesterol ethile ukwenza ama-hormone, uvithamini D, noketshezi lokugaya ukudla. Icholesterol ibuye isize izitho zakho zisebenze kahle.

Kodwa-ke ukuba ne-cholesterol eningi ye-LDL kungaba yinkinga. I-cholesterol ephezulu ye-LDL ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ingalimaza imithambo yakho yegazi, inikele esifo senhliziyo, futhi inyuse nengozi yokushaywa unhlangothi. Ukuhlolwa kwe-cholesterol yakho lapho uvakashelwa odokotela njalo nokunciphisa ingozi yesifo senhliziyo ngokudla, ukuzivocavoca umzimba, ukushintsha indlela ophila ngayo, nemithi kungasiza ekwehliseni izinkinga ezihambisana nesifo senhliziyo futhi kuthuthukise izinga lempilo.

Izinhlelo zenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi

Uma une-cholesterol eningi kakhulu ye-LDL emzimbeni wakho ingakhula emithanjeni yakho, uyivale futhi uyenze ingabi nezimo. Ukuqina kwemithambo yegazi kubizwa ngokuthi i-atherosclerosis. Igazi aligelezi kahle ngemithambo eqinile, ngakho-ke inhliziyo yakho kufanele isebenze kanzima ukududula igazi ngayo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, njengoba uqweqwe lukhula emithanjeni yakho, ungaba nesifo senhliziyo.

Ukwakhiwa kweplaque emithanjeni ye-coronary kungaphazamisa ukuhamba kwegazi eligcwele umoya-mpilo liye emisipheni yenhliziyo yakho. Lokhu kungadala ubuhlungu besifuba obubizwa nge-angina. I-Angina akuyona isifo senhliziyo, kepha ukuphazamiseka kwesikhashana kokuhamba kwegazi. Kuyisexwayiso sokuthi usengozini yokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo. Ucezu loqweqwe lungagcina luqhekekile lwakha ihlwili noma umthambo ungaqhubeka nokuncipha okungavimba ngokuphelele ukugeleza kwegazi liye enhliziyweni yakho, okuholele ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo. Uma le nqubo yenzeka emithanjeni eya ebuchosheni noma ngaphakathi kobuchopho ingaholela kohlangothi.

I-plaque ingavimba nokugeleza kwegazi liye emithanjeni ehambisa igazi emathunjini akho, emilenzeni nasezinyaweni. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi yi-peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Uhlelo lwe-Endocrine

Izindlala ezikhiqiza ama-hormone zomzimba wakho zisebenzisa i-cholesterol ukwenza ama-hormone afana ne-estrogen, testosterone, ne-cortisol. AmaHormone nawo angaba nomthelela emazingeni omzimba wakho we-cholesterol. Ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi njengoba amazinga e-estrogen ekhuphuka phakathi nomjikelezo wowesifazane wokuya esikhathini, amazinga e-cholesterol e-HDL nawo ayenyuka, namazinga e-LDL cholesterol ancipha. Lokhu kungaba esinye sezizathu zokuthi kungani ingozi yowesifazane yesifo senhliziyo inyuka ngemuva kokuya esikhathini, lapho amazinga e-estrogen ehla.

Ukukhiqizwa okwehlisiwe kwehomoni ye-thyroid (i-hypothyroidism) kuholela ekukhuleni kwenani kanye ne-LDL cholesterol. Ihomoni yegilo eyeqile (hyperthyroidism) inomphumela ohlukile. Ukwelashwa kokuncishwa kwe-Androgen, okunciphisa amazinga ama-hormone wesilisa ukumisa ukukhula komdlavuza wendlala yesinye, kungakhuphula amazinga e-LDL cholesterol. Ukushoda kwe-hormone yokukhula nakho kungakhuphula amazinga e-LDL cholesterol.

Uhlelo lwezinzwa

I-cholesterol yinto ebalulekile ebuchosheni bomuntu. Eqinisweni, ubuchopho buqukethe cishe amaphesenti angama-25 ako konke ukunikezwa komzimba kwe-cholesterol. La mafutha abalulekile ekukhuleni nasekuvikelweni kwamangqamuzana ezinzwa, enza ukuba ubuchopho buxhumane nomzimba wonke.

Ngenkathi udinga i-cholesterol ethile ukuze ubuchopho bakho busebenze kahle, iningi layo lingalimaza. I-cholesterol eyeqile emithanjeni ingadala ukushaywa unhlangothi - ukuphazamiseka kokuhamba kwegazi okungalimaza izingxenye zobuchopho, okuholele ekulahlekelweni yinkumbulo, ukunyakaza, ubunzima bokugwinya nokukhuluma neminye imisebenzi.

I-cholesterol ephezulu yegazi iyodwa ibe nomthelela ekulahlekelweni kwememori nokusebenza kwengqondo. Ukuba ne-cholesterol ephezulu yegazi kungasheshisa ukwakheka kwamapuleti e-beta-amyloid, amaprotheni anamathelayo alimaza ubuchopho kubantu abane-Alzheimer's disease.

Uhlelo lokugaya ukudla

Kuhlelo lokugaya ukudla, i-cholesterol ibalulekile ekukhiqizeni i-bile - into esiza umzimba wakho ukudiliza ukudla futhi imunce izakhi emathunjini akho. Kepha uma une-cholesterol eningi kakhulu enyameni yakho, amafomu okweqisa abe amakristalu bese eba ngamatshe aqinile enyongweni yakho. Ama-gallstones angaba buhlungu kakhulu.

Ukubheka izinga le-cholesterol yakho ngokuhlolwa kwegazi okunconyiwe nokunciphisa ingozi yesifo senhliziyo kuzosiza ekuthuthukiseni izinga lakho lokuphila.
