| 11. | Once absorbed by the enterocyte, cholesterol is reassembled into intestinal lipoproteins called chylomicrons.
|
| 12. | These chylomicrons then pass into the lacteals, forming a milky substance known as chyle.
|
| 13. | At this point, the fats are in the bloodstream in the form of chylomicrons.
|
| 14. | TGs, as major components of VLDL and chylomicrons, play an important role in metabolism.
|
| 15. | Since there is no or little assimilation of chylomicrons, their levels in plasma remains low.
|
| 16. | This interaction causes the endocytosis of the chylomicron remnants, which are subsequently hydrolyzed within lysosomes.
|
| 17. | Apolipoprotein B is the primary apolipoprotein of chylomicrons, fats carried within into the cells ).
|
| 18. | The triacylglycerol is then combined with phospholipids, cholesterol ester, and apolipoprotein B48 to form chylomicrons.
|
| 19. | Most of the cholesterol absorbed during intestinal transport undergoes ACAT-mediated esterification before incorporation in chylomicrons.
|
| 20. | Various tissues can capture the chylomicrons, releasing the triglycerides to be used as a source of energy.
