Disease Explanation
Cholesterol is found in all of our cells. Cells need it to keep their membranes just the right consistency. LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, is “bad cholesterol”. It carries cholesterol that can stick to arteries, collect in the vessel lining forming plaque, and sometimes block blood flow. HDL, or high-density lipoprotein, is “good cholesterol”. It takes cholesterol away from the blood and returns it to the liver.
