Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LDL (low-density lipoproteins) contains a higher percentage of cholesterol compared to other lipoproteins including HDL (high-density lipoproteins), VLDL (very-low-density lipoproteins), chylomicrons, and CDL (cellophane differentiation remnants). This is because LDLs are produced in the liver and are responsible for carrying cholesterol from the liver to other parts of the body, while HDLs carry cholesterol from other parts of the body back to the liver for removal. VLDLs transport triglycerides from the liver to other parts of the body, chylomicrons transport dietary lipids from the intestine to the liver and other tissues, and CDLs are remnants of VLDLs and IDLs that have been modified by lipoprotein lipase.
