What is The Function of HDL?
HDL function relies on many factors and can be influenced using lifestyle changes or medication. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is more commonly referred to as “good cholesterol”. It absorbs the “bad” cholesterol, or LDL (low-density lipoproteins), processes it through the liver and gets it out of your system. A high HDL level indicates a lowered risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. A high LDL level indicates the reverse.
