High blood cholesterol

High blood cholesterol. Artwork of hypercholester- olaemia or hyperlipidaemia, high levels of the lipid cholesterol in the blood. Low-density lipo- proteins (LDLs, large yellow spheres, centre left) transport cholesterol (tiny yellow spheres inside LDL) around the blood. Cholesterol is a major part of the deposits of atheroma (yellow) that line the walls of the arteries (one at centre right) in atherosclerosis, restricting blood supply. This may lead to a heart attack or stroke. Fat may also be deposited around the edge of the cornea of the eye (lower left) as a whitish ring called an arcus senilis. A blood sample is being taken for analysis through a syringe needle (upper centre)

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures the detrimental effects of high blood cholesterol on the human body. The image showcases a detailed illustration of hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipidemia, characterized by elevated levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. At the center left, we see large yellow spheres representing low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), which transport tiny yellow cholesterol spheres throughout the blood. These LDLs play a crucial role in distributing cholesterol but can also contribute to health issues when present in excessive amounts. The yellow deposits surrounding an artery at center right depict atheroma, which is formed due to atherosclerosis. This condition restricts blood supply and increases the risk of heart attacks or strokes. Additionally, fat accumulation around the cornea's edge forms an arcus senilis, visible as a whitish ring in the lower left corner. In this thought-provoking composition, medical professionals are shown taking a blood sample for analysis through a syringe needle positioned at upper center. This diagnostic procedure allows for further examination and monitoring of lipid levels within patients' bodies. Overall, this visually striking print serves as both educational material and artistic representation of how high blood cholesterol can lead to various health complications. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy lipid profiles and seeking appropriate medical care to prevent such conditions from arising or worsening.
