Among the largest and lightest of these globules are the very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). They carry some cholesterol but mainly other fats to various parts of the body. The slightly heavier low-density lipoproteins (LDL) move cholesterol from cell to cell, where it is used to produce sex hormones, among other things. Any excess cholesterol is picked up by the heaviest lipoproteins, HDL, which, like garbage trucks, haul it off to the liver...
