Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) has a higher percentage of cholesterol and cholesterol esters compared to other lipoproteins. This is because LDL is responsible for transporting cholesterol from the liver to the tissues in the body where it is needed, meaning that it contains a higher percentage of cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Elevated levels of LDL in the blood have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
