What causes Lipodensity Lipoprotein LDL to say in the blood?!


Question: What causes Lipodensity Lipoprotein LDL to say in the blood?
What stops the cholesterol from being taken up in the blood and translated into steroid hormones? Also is this related to thyroid hormone?

Answers:

Do you mean "Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)"?

HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. It's also sometimes called "good" cholesterol. Lipoproteins are made of fat and protein. They carry cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fats, called lipids, in the blood from other parts of your body to your liver. HDL cholesterol helps the body to reduce bad cholesterol in the blood.
Hypothyroidism may cause high blood cholesterol.

Could you please rephrase that question.
The bit at the very top isn't making too much sense. but if its a simple why does LDL stay in the blood and not convert to steroid then the answer is that Cholesterol is carried around the body by proteins.
These combinations of cholesterol and proteins are called lipoproteins. There are two main types of lipoproteins:

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the harmful type of cholesterol
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is a protective type of cholesterol

Cholesterol already is a steroid so why do you want to make it into another?

If you add that to your question we can figure out what exactly you want the LDL to be.
