What's another popular name for'low-density lipoprotein'?

  • Good Cholesterol

  • Neutral Cholesterol

  • Bad Cholesterol

  • Unhealthy Cholesterol

Answer

"Bad Cholesterol", refers to low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a type of cholesterol that can build up in the arteries and lead to heart disease. Unlike "good" cholesterol (HDL), which helps remove excess cholesterol from the body, LDL cholesterol can accumulate, forming plaque that narrows the arteries and restricts blood flow to the heart.
