Very Low Density Lipoprotein

Preferred Label : Very Low Density Lipoprotein;

NCIt synonyms : VLDL;

NCIt definition : The lipoprotein fraction in plasma that primarily transports triglycerides synthesized in the liver to peripheral tissues where they may be utilized to generate energy in muscle or stored as reserves in adipose. As the triglycerides are hydrolyzed from their very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) carriers, the VLDL remnants (intermediate density lipoproteins, IDLs) may be further metabolized into low density lipoproteins (LDLs) which may ultimately promote atherogenesis. Alternatively, VLDL remnants may accept cholesterol esters transferred from high density lipoproteins (HDLs) and then be recycled to the liver.;
