What does VLDL refer to on a blood test?
VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) is a type of "bad "cholesterol, helps cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries so laboratory test the amount of VLDL in your blood.

What does vldl cholesterol cal mean?
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol is one of the three major types of lipoproteins. The other two are high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Each type contains a mixture of cholesterol, protein and triglyceride, but in varying amounts.LDL contains the highest amount of cholesterol. HDL contains the highest amount of protein. VLDL contains the highest amount of triglyceride, a blood fat. Like LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol is considered a type of "bad" cholesterol because elevated levels are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.It is important to know your VLDL cholesterol level. However, there is no simple, direct way to measure VLDL cholesterol. So VLDL cholesterol is usually estimated as a percentage of your triglyceride value. A normal VLDL cholesterol level is between 5 and 40 milligrams per deciliter.By lowering your triglyceride levels, you also lower your VLDL cholesterol levels. Healthy lifestyle changes such as losing excess weight and exercising regularly can help lower triglyceride levels. Also, avoid sugary foods and alcohol, which have a particularly potent effect on increasing triglycerides.

How can simvastatin be used to treat hypercholesterolemia?
Simvastatin is a statin. It is a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. It leads to less cholesterol being produced. Low cholesterol will activate the SREBP2 protein. The protein is a transcription factor causes LDL receptors to be upregulated. Low cholesterol also results in less VLDL being synthesised. The statins also inhibit ApoB from being produced so less VLDL gets produced.
