chylomicrons
VLDL LDL HDL |
|
Chylomicrons are formed where?
|
in the absorptive cells of the small intestine
|
|
Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) are produced by? and do what?
|
liver
transport lipids to the adipose tissue for storage |
|
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) is bad or good?
|
good- it is desirable to maintain high levels because it removes cholesterol from the arteries
|
|
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is bad or good?
