MeSH definition : Metabolic products of chylomicron particles in which TRIGLYCERIDES have been selectively
removed by the LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE. These remnants carry dietary lipids in the blood
and are cholesterol-rich. Their interactions with MACROPHAGES; ENDOTHELIAL CELLS;
and SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS in the artery wall can lead to ATHEROSCLEROSIS.;
