Following digestion and absorption of dietary fat, TG and cholesterol are packaged to form chylomicrons in the epithelial cells of the intestines. Chylomicrons circulate through the intestinal ...
2 Lipoprotein lipase is responsible for breaking down chylomicrons, large lipid-containing particles primarily composed of triglycerides. In FCS, impaired ability to break down chylomicrons leads ...
For example, apoC-II activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which removes TG from lipoprotein particles such as chylomicrons and VLDL. Each lipoprotein class (chylomicrons, VLDL ...
