Abstract
High density lipoprotein (HDL) participates in two components of cholesterol transport: (a) the assimilation of unesterified cholesterol (UC) that is released from triglyceride — rich lipoproteins during their catabolism by lipoprotein lipase (LPL); and (b) the transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for elimination by secretion into bile and conversion to bile acids (reverse cholesterol transport).
