 # Lipoproteins
 Lipoproteins are water-soluble structures that transport lipids through the bloodstream. Lipoproteins are needed because fat is hydrophobic.
 - Chylomicron mostly carries triglycerides
-- High density lipoprotein (HDL) carries the most protein (45-50%), and roughly 30% phospholipids
-- Low density lipoprotein (LDL) carries the most cholesterol
-- Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) carries triglycerides from the liver into the bloodstream, where cells that line capillaries break down the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol

+- High density lipoprotein (HDL) carries the most protein (45-50%), and roughly 30% phospholipids. HDL carries lipids away from tissues and to the liver, where they can be processed and eliminated. It's considered "good" cholesterol
+- Low density lipoprotein (LDL) carries the most cholesterol, and it carries lipids from the liver out to other tissues in the body. It's considered "bad" cholesterol
+- Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) carries triglycerides from the liver into the bloodstream, where cells that line capillaries break down the triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol
+- Oxidized LDL is formed when chemically unstable substances damage LDL, transports cholesterol into the arterial lining
