cholesterol that is known as (ldl) stands for?

Answer 1

Low density lipoprotein...its the bad stuff that clogs your arteries.

Answer 2

Cholesterol and other fats are transported through the blood stream in the form of round particles called lipoproteins. The two most commonly known lipoproteins are low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
FYI: Lipids are fats that are found throughout the body. Cholesterol, a type of lipid, is found in foods from animal sources. Because cholesterol can't travel alone through the bloodstream, it has to combine with certain proteins. These proteins act like trucks, picking up the cholesterol and transporting it to different parts of the body. When this happens, the cholesterol and protein form a lipoprotein together:
• Low-density lipoproteins (or LDL). It is often called "bad" cholesterol because too much LDL in the blood can lead to cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. LDL carries most of the cholesterol in the blood.
• high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is sometimes called "good" cholesterol. That's because HDL helps transport cholesterol from other parts of the body to the liver, which helps remove it from the body, preventing it from piling up in the arteries.
HINT: L = Low ==>BAD ........... H = High ==> GOOD

Answer 3

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Bad for us. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is the good stuff.

Answer 4

Low-density lipoprotein.

Answer 5

light or low density lipoprotein
