High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the most important elements of the keto diet. These lipoproteins play a key role in transporting cholesterol from tissues back to the liver for processing and removal from the body.
An elevated level of HDL is considered very favorable, as they help cleanse the blood vessels from excess cholesterol and prevent the development of cardiovascular diseases.
In addition, HDL may be involved in lipid metabolism processes that are the basis of ketosis.
