LOWDENSITYLIPOPROTEIN
Low-density lipoprotein
Low-density lipoprotein is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins, which, in order of molecular size, largest to smallest, are chylomicrons, very low-density lipoprotein, intermediate-density lipoprotein, LDL, and high-density lipoprotein . Lipoprotein molecules enable the transportation of lipids, such as cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides, within the water around cells, including the bloodstream. Studies have shown that higher levels of type-B LDL particles are associated with health problems, including cardiovascular disease.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Low-density lipoprotein
