the lipoproteins which mediate cholesterol clearance from the atheromatous plaque and are antiatherogenic are:
low - density lipoprotein (ldl)
very low - density lipoprotein (vldl)
chylomicrons
high - density lipoprotein (hdl)
intermediate - density lipoprotein (idl)

Explanation:

HDL (high - density lipoprotein) is known as "good cholesterol". It functions to remove cholesterol from peripheral tissues (including atheromatous plaques) and transport it back to the liver for metabolism and excretion. LDL (low - density lipoprotein) is often called "bad cholesterol" as it can deposit cholesterol in arteries. VLDL (very low - density lipoprotein) is involved in the transport of triglycerides. Chylomicrons are mainly for transporting dietary lipids. IDL (intermediate - density lipoprotein) is an intermediate form in the metabolism of VLDL.

Answer:

High - density lipoprotein (HDL)
