The uptake of low-density lipoprotein by cells, utilizing receptors to ensure specificity of transport. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. The process by which a low-density lipoprotein particle is removed from the blood via receptor-mediated endocytosis and its constituent parts degraded. The process by which a lipoprotein particle is removed from the blood via receptor-mediated endocytosis and its constituent parts degraded. The disassembly into constituent parts of the low-density lipoprotein particle in the lysosome that contributes to cholesterol transport. Any process that modulates the rate, frequency or extent of low-density lipoprotein particle clearance. Low-density lipoprotein particle clearance is the process by which a low-density lipoprotein particle is removed from the blood via receptor-mediated endocytosis and its constituent parts degraded. Any process that decreases the rate, frequency or extent of low-density lipoprotein particle clearance. Low-density lipoprotein particle clearance is the process by which a low-density lipoprotein particle is removed from the blood via receptor-mediated endocytosis and its constituent parts degraded.
