Both HDL and LDL cholesterol are a kind of fat. Since cholesterol cannot be transported into your bloodstream, it needs these two lipoproteins.
HDL is also called "good" cholesterol because it tends to wash cholesterol from blood vessels.
LDL is called "bad" cholesterol because it can accumulate in your bloodstream when reaches high levels and cause atherosclerosis

What is hdl and ldl?
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
What are the differences in the structure of HDL and LDL cholesterol and how do these differences impact their functions in the body?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol differ in their composition and functions in the body. HDL has more protein and less cholesterol, while LDL has more cholesterol and less protein. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for disposal, while LDL carries cholesterol to cells throughout the body, which can lead to plaque buildup in arteries. These differences make HDL "good" cholesterol and LDL "bad" cholesterol in terms of heart health.

What is the relationship between HDL and LDL cholesterol levels in the body and how do they impact overall health?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and LDL (low-density lipoprotein) are two types of cholesterol in the body. HDL is considered "good" cholesterol as it helps remove LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, from the arteries. High levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, high levels of HDL are associated with lower risk of heart disease. Therefore, maintaining a balance between HDL and LDL levels is important for overall heart health.
