| HDL cholesterol - A type of cholesterol thought to help protect against atherosclerosis; "good" cholesterol. | |
| Hypercholesterolemia - Elevated level of cholesterol in the blood. | |
| Familial hyper-cholesterolemia - An inherited form of high blood cholesterol levels. | |
| Cholesterol - A fat-like substance found in blood, muscle, liver, brain, and other tissues in people and animals. The body makes and needs some cholesterol. Too much cholesterol, however, may cause fat to build up in the artery walls and cause a disease that slows or stops the flow of blood. Butter and egg yolks are foods that have a lot of cholesterol. | |
| LDL cholesterol - Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol provides cholesterol for necessary body functions, but in excessive amounts it tends to accumulate in artery walls; known as "bad" cholesterol. | |
