Do you have any idea what a desirable ratio of HDL2/HDL3 is? Not a clue. The main thing we need to do with HDL overall is get it above 40 in a lipid test. the closer to 60 the better. They are not even mentioned on the TYP site. I did find this: HDL, HDL2, and HDL3 subfractions, and the risk of acute myocardial infarction. A prospective population study in eastern Finnish men: CONCLUSIONS. Our data confirm that both total HDL and HDL2 levels have inverse associations with the risk of acute myocardial infarction and may thus be protective factors in ischemic heart disease, whereas the role of HDL3 remains equivocal. circ.ahajournals.org; Based on this, I would suspect that these factors are drilling down further than we need to go in addressing arterial plaque.
