Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HDLs, also known as high-density lipoproteins, return cholesterol from other lipoproteins and body cells to the liver. This process is important for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. HDLs do not contain a high proportion of cholesterol and do not function similarly to chylomicrons, which transport lipids away from the liver. HDLs are not formed in the mucosal cell.
