2) LPL hydrolyzes triglycerides in chylomicrons.
3) resulting fatty acids and glycerol are taken up by cells and used as energy.
4) excess fatty acids are re-esterfied into triglycerides for long-term storage. |

Term
| Steps in metabolism of lipoproteins of hepatic origin |
|
Definition
1)VLDL is syntheszied in the liver and secreted into circulation where they undergo lipolysis.
2) VLDL loses core lipids causing dissociation and transfer of lipoproteins and phospholipids.
3) VLDL remnants are further transformed into LDL in the liver.
4) Once LDL is bound to receptors they are endocytosed and transported to the lysosome.
5) triglycerides in LDL are converted into free fatty acids and glycerol.
6) fatty acids are metabolized for energy.
7) free cholesterol is used for membrane biosynthesis. |
