The two types of lipoproteins are low density lipoprotein and high density lipoproteins

Explanation: As applying to low density lipoproteins (LDL), these are sometimes called the bad cholesterol because a high LDL level leads to a build up of cholesterol in the arteries. This condition narrows the arteries and increases the risk of heart attack, Strom and peripheral artery diseases.

High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), also known as the good cholesterol acts as a scavenger carrying LDL away from the arteries and back to the liver where the LDL is break down and passed from the body.
