good cholesterol HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol - Good Cholesterol

 

Cholesterol travels through your blood attached to a protein. This cholesterol-protein package is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are either high density, low density, or very low density, depending on how much protein thereis in relation to fat.

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is sometimes called "good" cholesterol because it helps prevent cholesterol (a waxy, fatlike substance) from building up in the arteries. HDL, which is made mostly of protein and only a small amount of fat, helps clear LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or "bad" cholesterol from the body.

High levels of HDL cholesterol appear to help protect against heart disease. A person at risk for heart disease may be advised to raise his or her HDL cholesterol levels by eating a balanced diet, exercising and losing weight, and stopping tobacco use. In addition, medications may be used to raise HDL levels. Low HDL cholesterol increases the risk of coronary artery disease. High levels of HDL appear to help protect against atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and other complications.

The cholesterol level can be checked with a blood test. Cholesterol is measured either in milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) or in millimoles per liter of blood (mmol/L).
