HDL and LDL cholesterol differ significantly in their molecular composition, protein ratios, and physical properties.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently distinguish between HDL and LDL based on their specific size, density, lipid composition, and apolipoprotein profile, supporting the claim that they differ in molecular composition and protein ratios.
