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: -This cholesterol is transported via lipoproteins to the liver where it can be taken up by hepatocytes via specific lipoprotein receptors. The lipoprotein that mediates this transport is the high density lipoprotein (HDL).

Detailed explanation-3: -High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as the “good” cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
