The largest lipoprotein is chylomicrons, which are responsible for transporting dietary triglycerides from the intestine to various tissues in the body. They are mainly composed of triglycerides, cholesterol, and proteins.
The two main types of lipoproteins are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, while HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries.
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) has the highest amount of protein among lipoproteins.
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, leading to heart disease. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease.
Lipoprotein lipase breaks down triglycerides in the body primarily in the blood vessels and tissues, such as muscle and fat cells.
The lipoprotein film covering the alveoli serves to reduce surface tension, preventing the collapse of the alveoli during exhalation and promoting efficient gas exchange in the lungs.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
Lipoprotein and protein are not the same. Lipoproteins are assemblies of lipids and proteins.
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
The small intestine and the liver are the two sites of lipoprotein synthesis.
The lipoprotein referred to as pre-beta lipoprotein is also known as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). VLDL is primarily responsible for carrying triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues for energy use.
The two main types of lipoproteins are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, while HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries.

The liver is the main site of lipoprotein formation. It is secreted in the gallbladder.
The HDL-lipoprotein is the "good cholestrol".HDL is short for "High Density Lipoprotein".
