Which lipoprotein carries cholesterol to the cells in your body, but can get stuck in arteries while traveling in the blood, dep
Viktor [21]

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) carry cholesterol from the liver to the tissues and can contribute to the formation of plaque that builds up in the arteries.

<h3>What are lipids?</h3>

Lipids are soluble in fat and to circulate in the blood, which is an aqueous medium, they form lipoprotein complexes called lipoproteins, these constitute a transport medium and circulating reservoir for lipids.

<h3>Characteristics of LDL (low-density lipoprotein)</h3>

  • Low-density lipoproteins, composed of 50% triglycerides, are the ones that transport the lipids synthesized in the liver to other parts of the body.

  • LDL, composed mainly of cholesterol, when in excess, also deposits it on the walls of the arteries, contributing to the formation of plaque.

Therefore, we can conclude that excess LDL (low-density lipoprotein) poses a health risk because it facilitates the accumulation of fat in the arteries.
