Question
which lipoprotein is needed for reverse cholesterol transport?\
\
\\(\bigcirc\\) hdl\
\\(\bigcirc\\) vldl\
\\(\bigcirc\\) chylomicron\
\\(\bigcirc\\) ldl
Brief Explanations
Reverse cholesterol transport is the process of moving excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver for excretion or reuse. HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) binds to cholesterol in peripheral cells, transports it to the liver, and is thus responsible for this process. VLDL and chylomicrons primarily transport triglycerides, while LDL delivers cholesterol to peripheral tissues.
