Hi perplexed,
Here you go -
1. plasma glucose, mmol/L
GLUCOSE (Fasting)
"Glucose, formed by the digestion of carbohydrates and the conversion
of glycogen by the liver is the primary source of energy for most
cells. It is regulated by insulin, glucagon, thyroid hormone, liver
enzymes and adrenal hormones. It is elevated in diabetes, liver
disease, obesity, pancreatitis, steroids, stress, or diet. Low levels
may be indicative of liver disease, overproduction of insulin,
hypothyroidism, or alcoholism."
Normal Adult Range: 60 - 115 mg/dl [3.3 - 6.4 mmol/L]
Optimal Adult Reading: 87.5 [4.9 mmol/L]

From 70 to 109 mg/dL (3.9 to 6.0 mmol/L)

2. prostate specific antigen, ug/L
Age 60 - 69: < 4.5 (ug/L)

3. serum cholesterol, mmol/L
CHOLESTEROL
Cholesterol is a critical fat that is a structural component of cell
membrane and plasma lipoproteins, and is important in the synthesis of
steroid hormones, glucocorticoids, and bile acids. Mostly synthesized
in the liver, some is absorbed through the diet, especially one high
in saturated fats. High density lipoproteins (HDL) is desired as
opposed to the low density lipoproteins (LDL), two types of
cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol has been seen in artherosclerosis,
diabetes, hypothyroidism and pregnancy. Low levels are seen in
depression, malnutrition, liver insufficiency, malignancies, anemia
and infection.
Normal Adult Range: 120 - 240 mg/dl [3.11 - 6.21 mmol/L]
Optimal Adult Reading: 180 [4.66 mmol/L]

4. serum triglycerides, mmol/L
TRIGLYCERIDES
"Triglycerides, stored in adipose tissues as glycerol, fatty acids and
monoglyceroids, are reconverted as triglycerides by the liver. Ninety
percent of the dietary intake and 95% of the fat stored in tissues are
triglycerides. Increased levels may be present in artherosclerosis,
hypothyroidism, liver disease, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction,
metabolic disorders, toxemia, and nephrotic syndrome. Decreased levels
may be present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, brain
infarction, hyperthyroidism, malnutrition, and malabsorption."
Normal Adult Range: 0 - 200 mg/dl [0 - 2.26 mmol/L]
Optimal Adult Reading: 100 [1.13 mmol/L]
http://home3.inet.tele.dk/omni/alttest.htm#triglyc
60 - 69 years 78 - 158 mg/dL [.88 - 1.78 mmol/L]
http://www.bloodbook.com/ranges.html
5. serum HDL cholesterol, mmol/L
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
"HDL or High-density lipoprotein is the cholesterol carried by the
alpha lipoproteins. A high level of HDL is an indication of a healthy
metabolic system if there is no sign of liver disease or intoxication.
the two mechanisms that explain how HDL offers protection against
chronic heart disease are that HDL inhibits cellular uptake of LDL and
serves as a carrier that removes cholesterol from the peripheral
tissues and transports it back to the liver for catabolism and
excretion"
Normal Adult Range: 35 - 135 mg/dl [.91 - 3.49 mmol/L]
Optimal Adult Reading: +85 mg/dl [2.2 mmol/L]
http://home3.inet.tele.dk/omni/alttest.htm#hdl
6. serum LDL cholesterol, mmol/L
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
"LDL is the cholesterol rich remnants of the lipid transport vehicle
VLDL (very-low density lipoproteins) there have been many studies to
correlate the association between high levels of LDL and arterial
artherosclerosis. Due to the expense of direct measurement of LDL a
calculation, known as the Friedewald formula is used. It is Total
Cholesterol - HDL Cholesterol - Triglycerides/5. When triglyceride
levels are greater than 400, this method is not accurate."
Normal Adult Range: 62 - 130 mg/dl [1.61 - 3.36 mmol/L]
Optimal Adult Reading: 81 mg/dl [2.10 mmol/L]
http://home3.inet.tele.dk/omni/alttest.htm#ldl
7. serum cholesterol/HDL ratio
CHOLESTEROL/LDL RATIO
The ratio of total cholesterol and LDL (low density lipoprotein).
Normal Adult Range: 1 - 6
Optimal Adult Reading: 3.5

I hope this is what you were hoping for when you posted your question,
and I hope your figures fit well within the normal range. If you have
any questions, please post a clarification request *before*
closing/rating my answer and I'll be happy to reply.
Thank you,
