Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.26AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The origin of the triacylglycerols transported very low-density lipoproteins should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Triacylglycerols are the most abundant dietary lipids. Each triacylglycerols has a glycerol backbone, to which are esterified 3 fatty acids.
Lipoproteins are a biochemical assembly that contains both proteins and lipids.
Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) are synthesized in liver and they transport endogenous triglycerides.
