As you know, high levels of free cholesterol in the bloodstream leads to deposition of that cholesterol in vessel walls, which is a contributing factor to plaque formation. One of the body's natural defense mechanisms against high free cholesterol are circulating levels of lipoproteins that are released by the liver, take in free cholesterol, and return it to the liver. Which of the following lipoproteins are involved in this process? O LDL O HDL O chylomicrons O VLDL O ILDL
