(good) cholesterol levels/concentrations


Explanation:
HDL cholesterol levels/concentrations, also called "good cholesterol levels/cnecentrations"

HDL cholesterol: Lipoproteins, which are combinations of lipids (fats) and proteins, are the form in which lipids are transported in the blood. The high-density lipoproteins transport cholesterol from the tissues of the body to the liver so it can be gotten rid of (in the bile). HDL cholesterol is therefore considered the good cholesterol. The higher the HDL cholesterol level, the lower the risk of coronary artery disease.

Oops! "cnecentrations" should read "concentrations". Apologies.

HDL = High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (good cholesterol) = lowers risk of heart disease
LDL = Low-density lipoprotein cholesterin (bad cholesterol) = increases risk of heart disease
