Triglyceride Transport

This is a good write-up on the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (VLDL and chylomicron). It emphasises on the importance of the triglyceride (TG) and cholesteryl ester (CE) exchanges between VLDL remnants and HDL, and also how the small dense LDL are formed. It highlights the significant role played by smaller VLDL in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
