Summary Introduction
To determine:
If chylomicrons are a class of lipoprotein produced in the liver.
Introduction:
The chylomicrons are small molecule made up of fat and some proteins. The basic function of chylomicrons is to transport triglycerides throughout the body. They consist of cholesterol and proteins which travels towards the liver from the enterocytes.
