Dr.ReproEndo said:Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.4% to 8.9% over 13 months.
Advanced lipoprotein testing on the lipid panel — going beyond standard lipid panel:
| Marker | Baseline | Month 8 | Clinical Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| LDL-P | 1625 | 925 | Particle count (more precise than LDL-C) |
| Small dense LDL | 65% | 29% | Atherogenic pattern |
| Remnant cholesterol | 33 | 14 | Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins |
| oxLDL | 70 | 43 | Oxidative stress marker |
The shift from small dense to large buoyant LDL is particularly important — it represents a fundamental change in the atherogenic profile.
