Question

multiple choice question
which lipoprotein can be taken up by scavenger cells, leading to a buildup of cholesterol in the blood vessels?

lipoprotein a
hdl
ldl

Explanation:

HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is known as "good cholesterol" as it transports cholesterol away from blood vessels. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is often called "bad cholesterol"; when oxidized, it is taken up by scavenger cells in blood vessel walls, leading to cholesterol buildup and plaque formation. Lipoprotein A has a role in cardiovascular disease but is not the primary one taken up by scavenger cells to cause this buildup.

Answer:

LDL
