Summary
over the last 10 years, high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles have confounded scientists. The normal role of these beams of protein and lipid is to transport cholesterol in the liver rest of the body, which eliminates from the body. More something good should mean better health, and people naturally have higher HDL levels are usually better. But drugs that increase HDL cholesterol have flopped in clinical trials, and the genes that help raise does not seem to follow with less heart disease. Now a new study included a subgroup of people with high HDL attacks suggests that it can sometimes be a signal not of heart health, but the opposite: a system incapable of siphoning fat particles from cholesterol circulation.
