Difference between Cholesterol and High-density lipoprotein

Cholesterol vs. High-density lipoprotein

Cholesterol (from the Ancient Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol) is an organic molecule. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the five major groups of lipoproteins.
