🟢 Basic
Lipid Metabolism
Lipoproteins & Cholesterol
Particles that carry fats (lipids) through the blood.
Key points
•
LDL ('bad') delivers cholesterol to tissues; high levels drive atherosclerosis.
•
HDL ('good') carries cholesterol back to the liver.
•
Chylomicrons carry dietary fat; statins lower LDL.
Memory trick
LDL = Lousy, HDL = Healthy.
