Lipoproteins are the complexes which are made of the lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol) and proteins. The lipoproteins have different densities as per to the relationship between lipid quantities and their protein as lipids are less dense as compared to the proteins. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are those having a low protein/lipid relation; high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are having the high protein/lipid relation; Other group consists of the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) having very low protein/lipid relation.
