To expand upon this, Cholesterol is wrapped in lipoprotein, and pathogenesis is caused by malfunction of lipoproteins due to proximal oxidative and inflammatory effects upon them.

No, this is not true.

It absolutely is true for many reasons; one of them is uptake of ox-LDL by macrophage and their conversion into foam cells.

Additionally, ApoB is an excellent biomarker of cardiovascular health risk.

I agree with ApoB being the marker for CVD risk. What I'm disagreeing with is the statement that pathogenesis is caused by inflammation and/or oxidization; instead I'd say it's the number of particles that's the primary cause, with the rest of the mechanism following.

Might just be semantic quibbling, though.

So what’s the cause of high cholesterol and how do you lower it?
