Cardiovascular Disease and the Role of LDL-C
December 2006

This animation examines the complex processes involved in dyslipidaemia. It looks at both the negative effects of excess LDL cholesterol in the blood stream and the beneficial role of HDL cholesterol, with particular attention to reverse cholesterol transport, whereby HDL-C particles can transfer cholesterol from arterial wall macrophages through the blood stream for excretion via the liver.
