    Glossary High-Density Lipoprotein

    transports cholesterol from arteries to liver for removal

    High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), often referred to as "good cholesterol," is a type of lipoprotein that helps transport cholesterol from the arteries to the liver, where it can be processed and removed from the body. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases because it aids in reducing the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries.
