HDL (High density lipoproteins) and LDL (low density lipoproteins) are the types of cholesterol. we need cholesterol to live, however HDL is good cholesterol and LDL is the bad. LDL is the stuff that builds up in arteries and is linked to cardiovascular diseases. We need to have HDL level...
Background: High-density lipoproteins (HDL) form a heterogeneous class of lipoproteins. HDL is routinely measured in clinical laboratories as a negative risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) because of its potent antiatherogenic properties. The main parameter used at present to measure HDL is...
What Is Cholesterol? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that there are different kinds of cholesterol [1]. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol carries extra cholesterol from cells to the liver so the body can get rid of it. That is why HDL cholesterol is cal...
This is whyLDL cholesterolis often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol. HDL picks up excess cholesterol in your blood and takes it back to your liver where it's broken down and removed from your bo...

Some risk for heart and blood vessel disease comes from genes you inherit from your parents. To find out whether you have these genes, your doctor may order a lipoprotein-a or Lp(a) test. What is an Lp (a) test? High Lp(a) levels put you at high risk of cardiovascular disease, ev...
HDL cholesterol is more dense; it contains more protein and less cholesterol compared to LDL, hence the name 'high-density lipoprotein'. Lesson Quiz Course 5.3K views Healthy HDL Levels Cholesterol is measured in milligrams (mg) per deciliter (dL) of blood. One deciliter is equal to...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) While not inherently bad, high amounts of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides are associated with a greater risk for heart disease,heart attack, andstroke, as they can accumulate in the walls of your blood vessels over time. Meanwhil...
There are six major types of lipoproteins; chylomicrons,very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL),low-density lipoprotein (LDL),high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and Lp(a) Lp(a) was first described by Kåre Berg, a Norwegian professor, in 1963 (1). It is...
