Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A type of compound that picks up excess cholesterol and returns it to the liver
A
amino acids
B
saturated fatty acids
C
unsaturated fatty acids
D
HDL
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These particles play an important role in reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is one potential mechanism by which HDL may be anti-atherogenic.

Detailed explanation-2: -HDL removes excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues and delivers it to the liver and steroidogenic tissues via selective lipid uptake without catabolism of the HDL particle itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -The particles that package cholesterol, cholesteryl esters, and triglycerides for transport, are called lipoproteins. There are five main classifications of lipoproteins based on their size and density. The higher the ratio of protein to lipid content the higher the density.
