The 13 pages that link to High-density lipoprotein, each with the reason it gives.

• CholesterolBroader topic: HDL participates in reverse cholesterol transport, returning excess cholesterol toward the liver.

• Metabolic syndromeRelated: Low HDL cholesterol, rather than high HDL, contributes to diagnostic criteria.

• Low-density lipoproteinCompared with: Its name and typical roles are often contrasted with LDL, though the relationship is not a simple good-versus-bad divide.

• Oleic acidRelated: Dietary fat substitutions involving oleic acid have been studied for their effects on HDL.

• LipoproteinBroader topic: HDL’s protein-rich composition distinguishes it from triglyceride-rich circulating particles.

• Trans fatRelated: Trans fat can lower HDL cholesterol while raising LDL cholesterol.

• DyslipidemiaRelated: Low HDL cholesterol can contribute to an abnormal lipid profile, though its role is complex.

• Monounsaturated fatRelated: Dietary-fat substitutions can also affect HDL cholesterol, though its level alone does not establish health benefit.

• Nicotinic acidRelated: Nicotinic acid can raise HDL cholesterol, though this change has not reliably reduced cardiovascular events.

• AtorvastatinCompared with: It contrasts with LDL, though changes in HDL are not the main basis for atorvastatin's benefit.

• RosuvastatinCompared with: Rosuvastatin's main effect is on LDL, not raising HDL substantially.

• Tangier diseaseRelated: Defective HDL formation accounts for the disease’s markedly reduced HDL levels.

• High cholesterolCompared with: HDL cholesterol is often discussed alongside LDL, but its level is not simply the inverse of disease risk.
