LDL-C (LDL cholesterol) measures the cholesterol content of LDL particles, while ApoB counts the total number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles (each LDL, VLDL, and IDL particle carries exactly one ApoB molecule). When LDL particle size is small and dense — which AAS use promotes — LDL-C underestimates actual atherogenic particle burden while ApoB remains accurate.
