TETSXPREME:

LDL~LDL stands for low-density lipoproteins. It is sometimes called the "bad" cholesterol because a high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. HDL stands for high-density lipoproteins https://www.google.com/search?q=LDL&rlz=1CACVLN_enUS973&oq=LDL&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&safe=active&ssui=on#:~:text=LDL%3A%20The%20%22Bad,gov%20%E2%80%BA%20Health%20Topics

TETSXPREME:

HDL~HDL (high-density lipoprotein), or “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke. https://www.cdc.gov/cholesterol/ldl_hdl.htm#:~:text=HDL%20(high%2Ddensity%20lipoprotein),for%20heart%20disease%20and%20stroke.

TETSXPREME:

Triglycerides~Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in your blood. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn't need to use right away into triglycerides. The triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Later, hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/triglycerides/art-20048186#:~:text=Triglycerides%20are%20a%20type%20of,triglycerides%20for%20energy%20between%20meals.
