HDls- High Density Lipoproteins: They are seen as 'good cholesterol', as they are mainly protein. They bind to LDLs (bad cholesterol) and transport them to the liver, were they are stored. They are seen as helpful because they reduce risks of Heart related illnesses/diseases.
The 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.
if my HDL is 206, what does that mean?
HDL is the cholesterol that is BAD for you?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) particles differ in their composition and function. LDL particles are larger and contain more cholesterol, while HDL particles are smaller and contain more protein. LDL particles transport cholesterol from the liver to cells, while HDL particles remove excess cholesterol from cells and transport it back to the liver for disposal.
HDL System happened in 2006.
HDL= High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol)
hdl is your good cholesterol..you want it higher and you want your ldl to be lower
none.... HDL's are created in the liver. if you are looking to increase your HDL count start exercising.... if u do already.... do more.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) particles differ in their composition and function. HDL particles are smaller and denser, with a higher protein to lipid ratio, while LDL particles are larger and less dense, with a higher lipid content. HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, while LDL is considered "bad" cholesterol because it can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
its absorbs HDL(bad) and carries it to the liver for removal from the blood
