Gloassary term:

Low density lipoproteins (LDL)

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are cholesterol-rich particles that transport lipids from the liver to peripheral tissues. Clinically, elevated LDL levels are a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease due to their role in depositing cholesterol within arterial walls. Managing LDL concentrations is crucial for preventing complications such as coronary artery disease and stroke.
