What
is HDL ?
HDL cholesterol HDL stands for high density lipoprotein
and is considered good cholesterol.
HDL accounts for ~1/3 of all blood circulating cholesterol
and serves as a protective mechanism from the development
of heart disease by carrying away cholesterol from vessel
walls and plaque to the liver for disposal. Higher levels
of HDL have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack
and stroke.
