1 Many aerospace innovations are making their way into automobile technology, such as thermoelectric generators, which use heat to make electricity, and hydrogen fuel cells, which take hydrogen gas and mix it with oxygen to generate useful electricity, heat and water.
If YOU Have Heart Disease. If you have heart disease, work with your doctor on how often you should have your lipid panel done. Depending on your treatment, you may have your triglycerides and cholesterol checked as often as every two months.f you are a diabetic or have pre-diabetes, or if you are overweight, have your triglycerides checked at least every year.

Normal cholesterol levels are different for children. Total cholesterol should be less than 170 and the LDL cholesterol should be less than 110. The rationale for these guidelines is that atherosclerosis which leads to heart disease starts very early in life.
