@doctorjaybe.x: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) takes up cholesterol from foam cells in a plaque, primarily through the interaction between ApoA-I(on the surface of HDL), and ABCA1(a cell membrane transporter). This process starts "reverse cholesterol transport", which ultimately delivers cholesterol to the liver, helping to slow down atherosclerosis by reducing foam cell cholesterol and stabilizing plaques. #medicalmemes #medmemes #medschool #ldl #hdl #cholesterol #goodcholesterol
