Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LDLs (Low-Density Lipoproteins) are often referred to as "bad" cholesterol because a high level can lead to the buildup of cholesterol in arteries. HDLs (High-Density Lipoproteins), known as "good" cholesterol, help remove other forms of cholesterol from the bloodstream. Therefore, a high concentration of LDLs and a low concentration of HDLs can lead to atherosclerosis, the buildup of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on the artery walls.
