A member asked:
What health risks are associated with a very high concentration of high density lipoproteins in the bloodstream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HDL: Our Protector: High density lipoproteins are the molecules in the cholesterol machinations that clean up the arteries, help avoid arterial damage and protect one from significant cardiovascular risk. The higher this number the better protection one can have.
