High density lipoprotein cholesterol carries cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver where it is broken down and eventually excreted from the body. It also removes excess cholesterol from plaques, which slows atherosclerosis. Because of this, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is often referred to as "good" cholesterol. 7, record 1, English, - high%2Ddensity%20lipoprotein%20cholesterol

Hyperlipidemia, abnormal elevation of plasma cholesterol and/or triglyceride levels, is one of the most common clinical problems that confront the physician in daily practice. Much attention has been focused on these disorders because there is a strong association of hyperlipidemia especially hypercholesterolemia with development of atherosclerosis, and of hypertriglyceridemia with pancreatitis. 1, record 3, English, - hyperlipidemia

Il y a plusieurs graisses qui circulent normalement dans le sang sous forme de particules appelées lipides. On distingue deux types de lipides : le cholestérol et les triglycérides. Pour que ces graisses se mêlent bien au sang, elles sont enrobées de protéines. L'ensemble graisse-protéine ainsi formé se nomme lipoprotéine qui se promène partout dans la circulation sanguine.... un taux élevé de lipides dans le sang s’appelle hyperlipidémie. 1, record 3, French, - hyperlipid%C3%A9mie
