Whole-Body Cholesterol Transport [Part 2/2] | LDL & HDL

The video explains the roles of different lipoproteins in cholesterol transport. It covers the functions of chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL, detailing how LDL delivers cholesterol to peripheral tissues and how HDL performs reverse cholesterol transport. The regulation of LDL levels and cholesterol synthesis by the liver is also discussed, highlighting the feedback mechanisms involved.

How does the liver regulate cholesterol synthesis based on LDL levels?

What are the two fates of LDL in the body?

Discuss the significance of reverse cholesterol transport performed by HDL.

Describe the process by which HDL picks up excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues.
