Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) These particles are derived from VLDL and IDL particles and they are even further enriched in cholesterol. LDL carries the majority of the cholesterol that is in the circulation. The predominant apolipoprotein is B-100 and each LDL particle contains one Apo B-100 molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -LDL is the “bad cholesterol” because too much of it in your blood can contribute to plaque buildup in your arteries. Foods with high amounts of saturated fat (like full-fat dairy and red meat) can raise your LDL. A heart-healthy diet, exercise and quitting tobacco use can help lower your LDL.
