An extensive guide to the usage of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in emerging and new treatments. This publication outlines the current state of knowledge inside the region, providing for the first time a comprehensive, systematic, stylistically coherent, and up-to-date inspection of the composition, construction, heterogeneity, metabolism, epidemiology, genetics, and function of HDL.
