1. ldl

   Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of the five major groups of lipoprotein that transport all fat molecules around the body in extracellular water. These groups, from least dense to most dense, are chylomicrons (aka ULDL by the overall density naming convention), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL delivers fat molecules to cells. LDL is involved in atherosclerosis, a process in which it is oxidized within the walls of arteries.

1. ldl

   LDL stands for Low-Density Lipoprotein, often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol. It is a type of cholesterol that transports fats and lipids in the bloodstream from the liver to other parts of the body and can build up in the arterial walls, potentially leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The LDL level is a significant factor considered in assessing an individual's risk for heart diseases.
