What is Lipid Transport and Metabolism Overview about?

Lipids are transported in the blood via lipoproteins, which are classified based on density and consist of a lipid core surrounded by proteins and cholesterol; chylomicrons transport dietary lipids, VLDL transports liver lipids, LDL transports cholesterol, and HDL transports cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion. Abnormalities in lipoprotein metabolism can cause hyperlipidemias and hypolipidemias leading to conditions like heart disease.
