Abstract
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are complex particles with multiple functions. They are thought to have evolved as part of the body's innate defense system against infection. Recent research suggests that HDL levels influence susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the severity of associated complications, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention.
