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: -HDL, or high-density lipoproteins, carry cholesterol back to the liver from your tissues. HDL serves as the cholesterol clean-up crew for your body, clearing excess cholesterol from your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -HDL plays an important role in transporting cholesterol from the peripheral tissues to the liver, where it can be excreted; this process is known as reverse cholesterol transport (RCT). (The liver is the main organ for excretion of cholesterol, doing so either directly or by converting cholesterol into bile acids.)
