When Maria received her blood cholesterol levels, and discovered that her HDL levels are low. Which lipoprotein levels should be lower and which should be higher?
What will be an ideal response?
The LDL, VLDLs should be lower, and the HDL should be higher. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) that remove cholesterol from the tissues and deliver it to the liver to be used as part of bile and/or to be excreted from the body. Because of this, HDL is known as the "good" cholesterol. Low-density (LDL) and very low-density (VLDL) lipoproteins should be in the blood at lower levels because they deposit cholesterol in the walls of the arteries, which can lead to heart disease.
