HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is the "good" cholesterol that carries excess cholesterol from the blood to the liver for removal, protecting the heart and vessels.
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the “bad” cholesterol that carries cholesterol from the liver to body tissues. High levels can cause fatty buildup in arteries, increasing heart disease risk.
VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) is a type of fat made by the liver to carry triglycerides to body tissues. High levels are linked to heart disease risk.
