Low-density lipoprotein ( LDL ) is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins , which in order of size, largest to smallest, are chylomicrons , VLDL , IDL , LDL , and HDL , that enable transport of multiple different fat molecules, including cholesterol , within the water around cells and within the water-based bloodstream . Studies have shown that higher levels of type-B LDL particles (as opposed to type-A LDL particles) promote health problems and cardiovascular disease , they are often informally called the bad cholesterol particles, (as opposed to HDL particles, which are frequently referred to as good cholesterol or healthy cholesterol particles).
