VLDL = Very Low-Density Lipoprotein)
Lipoprotein that primarily transports triglycerides (fats) from your liver to tissues throughout your body.
There are also very-low-density lipoproteins, or VLDLs, which we mentioned in the previous chapter, as well as intermediate-density lipoproteins, or IDLs. These carry even more fat than the LDLs, much of it in the form of triglycerides, and they are also marked with apoB. Also: While HDL particles have multiple apoAs, each LDL (or VLDL, or IDL) has only one apoB particle, making it relatively easy to measure their concentration. - Outlive
