Definition
English
:
A class of
lipoproteins
of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL
lipoproteins
, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate
cholesterol esters
from peripheral
tissues
and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse
cholesterol
transport). Their major protein component is
APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I
. HDL also shuttle
APOLIPOPROTEINS C
and
APOLIPOPROTEINS E
to and from triglyceride-rich
lipoproteins
during their catabolism. HDL
plasma
level has been inversely correlated with the risk of
cardiovascular diseases.
