∙ 12y agoThe function of HDL in the human body is to transport cholesterol for excretion to the liver. The function of LDL is to transport cholesterol to the liver for use.
Some studies have shown that raising your HDL level can improve kidney function and boosts your body's natural anti-inflammatory response, which is important for cardiovascular health.
These transport vehicles are called high-density lipoproteins (HDL). HDL picks up excess cholesterol from cells and transports it to the liver where it can be broken down and eliminated from the body. HDL is often referred to as "good cholesterol" because of its role in removing cholesterol from the bloodstream.
