Mnemonic to Remember HDL vs LDL: Which is “good” and which is “bad”?
| HDL: |
| – HDL: high-density lipoprotein – Relatively higher protein content and low lipid content – Delivers cholesterol to the liver and steroid producing organs –“good cholesterol” |
| LDL: |
| – LDL: low-density lipoprotein. – Higher lipid content and low protein content – Transports cholesterol to cells |
