Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that allow for transport of fats throughout the body, including to and from cells and tissues. Triglycerides are a type of lipid that can be found within lipoproteins, but they do not themselves serve as the transport mechanism. Phospholipids are another type of lipid that have important roles in cell membranes, but do not function specifically in transport of fats. Micelles are smaller structures that can transport certain types of lipids, but are not as widespread or efficient a mechanism for transporting fats throughout the body.
