1. Should my doctor be measuring Apo B-48?
While researchers are looking into the role of chylomicrons (the lipoprotein that contains Apo B-48), there is currently no reason to measure Apo B-48.
2. What can I do to lower my Apo B-100?
Diet and exercise changes that lower LDL levels (and increase HDL – the good cholesterol) will lower your Apo B-100 levels and decrease your risk of heart disease.
