A. Deposits cholesterol into arterial walls
B. Transports excess cholesterol back to the liver for excretion
✓
C. Synthesizes novel fatty acid chains from glucose
D. Stores triacylglycerols inside adipocytes

📝 Explanation

HDL participates in reverse cholesterol transport, clearing excess lipids from blood vessels and carrying them back to the hepatic tissue.
