LDL is mostly based on lifestyle and what we eat, but LP is heredity. This confirms that the amount of LP in the body cannot be altered by what we eat. A very important role is played by Lipoprotein in creating diseases related to heart
Till now it has been confirmed in the researches that medications like Niacin and CETP inhibitors can considerably reduce LP levels. The risk for an individual to get heart disease is valued based on the LP levels these days. Infact this may be soon used in other fields too.
While high levels of LP indicates a higher risk of possible heart disease, the negative effects that LDL has on heart health is still far more pronounced than those caused by lipoproteins. As mentioned by lead researcher Martin Farrall, "The increase in risk to people from high LP levels is significantly less severe than the risk from high LDL cholesterol levels". He also mentioned that "one in every six individuals carries one or more of the genes for LP".
