HDL, high density lipoproteins:>
Are highly soluble and don’t have tent to release cholesterol into the sediment, thus they protect blood vessels from atherosclerotic changes i.e. they’re not atherogenic.</quote>
LDL, low-density lipoproteins:>
Are slightly soluble and have tend to release cholesterol crystals into the sediment and form atherosclerotic plaques in the blood vessels. Thus increasing risk of heart attack, ischemic stroke and other cardiovascular complications.</quote>
