Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) has the highest triglyceride content. It is produced in the liver and transports triglycerides from the liver to other tissues in the body. As VLDL particles lose triglycerides, they become smaller and denser, eventually becoming LDL (low-density lipoprotein). VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) has the highest triglyceride content among lipoproteins. It is synthesized in the liver and transports triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues. As triglycerides are removed from VLDL to provide energy to the tissues, VLDL is converted to LDL (low-density lipoprotein) which has a higher cholesterol content.
