Definition
English
:
Lipid-protein complexes involved in the
transportation
and
metabolism
of
lipids
in the body. They are spherical
particles
consisting of a hydrophobic core of
TRIGLYCERIDES
and
CHOLESTEROL ESTERS
surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free
CHOLESTEROL
;
PHOSPHOLIPIDS
; and
APOLIPOPROTEINS
.
Lipoproteins
are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. The large
lipoproteins
(CHYLOMICRONS; VLDL) are to transport
triglycerides
, and the small
lipoproteins
(LDL; HDL) are to transport
cholesterol.
