Answer: HDLs are antiatherogenic lipoproteins....
Explanation:
The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL occurs, above all, because of its properties to carry lipids, mainly cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is known as reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). However, other protective actions of HDL, in addition to RCT, have been described in several experimental models and epidemiological studies. These actions include antioxidant protection, mediation of cholesterol efflux, inhibition of the expression of cell adhesion, leukocyte activation, regulation of blood coagulation and platelet activity.
