LDL and HDL

there is “bad” Cholesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein-associated cholesterol (LDL) and “good” cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein-associated cholesterol, HDL). LDL-cholesterol is the type that gets added to an atherosclerotic plaque, whereas HDL-cholesterol is cholesterol that has been removed from plaques and is on its way to be degraded in the Liver.
