The meaning of HDL is a lipoprotein of blood plasma that is composed of a high proportion of protein with little triglyceride and cholesterol and that is correlated with reduced risk of atherosclerosis : good cholesterol.
This result provides an epidemiological argument in favor of therapeutically raising HDL-C levels. One may draw parallels with the detrimental consequences of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and blood pressure, which have been successfully controlled through therapy, resulting ...
The measured lipid parameters include LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), TC (total cholesterol), and TG (triglycerides). Results 119 (15.5%) of the 767 patients developed GDM. On average, women who developed GDM were older, had a higher BMI, LDL, TC, and TG,...

HDL also interact with the scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-BI), a horse hoof-like transmembrane glycoprotein that binds to HDL and forms a hydrophobic channel for the trafficking of cholesterol; this transport/exchange is gradient-driven, meaning HDL can either download or upload ...
