P. 120 of FA says, for HDL (to the right of the orange circle that says "mature HDL"): "transfer of cholesterol esters to VLDL, IDL, LDL."
HDL functions in reverse cholesterol transport (i.e. bringing it from the periphery to the liver [as specified on p. 121]), so why would it transfer cholesterol esters to LDL, considering LDL only brings cholesterol to the periphery?
Should p. 120 instead say "transfer of cholesterol esters to VLDL, IDL"?
