| 21. | Nascent chylomicrons are composed primarily of triglycerides ( 85 % ) and contain some cholesterol and cholesteryl esters.
|
| 22. | Without functional chylomicrons certain fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin D and vitamin E cannot be absorbed.
|
| 23. | GPIHBP1 is a capillary endothelial cell protein that provides a platform for LPL-mediated processing of chylomicrons.
|
| 24. | The chylomicrons are small enough to pass through the enterocyte villi and into their lymph capillaries called lacteals.
|
| 25. | They found that Mg supplementation reduced and delayed the postprandial serum and chylomicron TAG responses after fat loading.
|
| 26. | At this point the chylomicrons can transport the triglycerides to tissues where they are stored or metabolized for energy.
|
| 27. | Again, like chylomicrons, VLDL particles circulate and encounter lipoprotein lipase ( LPL ) expressed on endothelial cells.
|
| 28. | Lymph also transports fats from the digestive system ( beginning in the lacteals ) to the blood via chylomicrons.
|
| 29. | The receptor defect causes levels of chylomicron remnants and IDL to be higher than normal in the blood stream.
|
| 30. | The largest lipoproteins, which primarily transport fats from the intestinal mucosa to the liver, are called chylomicrons.
