Detailed explanation-1: -HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Detailed explanation-2: -LDL (bad) cholesterol-the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. HDL (good) cholesterol-HDL helps remove cholesterol from your arteries. Non-HDL-this number is your total cholesterol minus your HDL.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two major forms of HDL in the bloodstream of any individual human. One is called AI-HDL (or LpA-I) because it contains the protein apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), and the other is called AI/AII-HDL (or LpA-I, A-II) because it contains both apoA-I and the protein apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II).
