| Domain | Definition |
Health | Lipoproteins that contain a small amount of cholesterol and carry cholesterol away from body cells and tissues to the liver for excretion from the body. Low-level HDL increases the risk of heart disease, so the higher the HDL level, the better. The HDL component normally contains 20 to 30 percent of total cholesterol, and HDL levels are inversely correlated with coronary heart disease risk. (references) |

Health | It is now firmly established that all cholesterol is carried in the bloodstream in several protein-lipid combinations known as lipoproteins and that most of the blood cholesterol in humans is carried by specific low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Some is also present in high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and in very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). The LDL particles, when present in excess in the blood, are deposited in the tissues and form a major part of a buildup in the artery wall to form atherosclerotic plaque. (references) | |
