How are fats transported in the blood?
Fats are transported in the blood as lipoproteins, which are complex particles that consist of fats (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) surrounded by proteins. The main types of lipoproteins involved in fat transport are chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). These lipoproteins help transport fats to various tissues in the body for energy production and storage.
Which of the following plasma lipoproteins is the most soluble?
Lipoproteins are soluble in lipids; plasma is a suspension in blood.
When do the size shape density and conformation of lipoproteins change?
This occurs when lipoproteins exchange their lipid and protein components with the environment.
What are the 4 major lipoproteins?
(See link below)Chylomicrons are the least dense of all the lipoproteins and are basically just big balls of fat (triglycerides), with a makeup of about 90 percent fat, a touch of phospholipids, some cholesterol, and a smidgin of protein.VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) carries a great amount of fat, some phospholipids, and cholesterol. The high fat content of VLDL makes a large quantity of this lipoprotein in the blood undesirable.LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol) has only a fraction of the fat and double the protein of VLDL and is very high in cholesterol. This lipoprotein carries the majority of cholesterol in the blood and is considered the unhealthy one.HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) is a spherical blob of mostly protein (albeit a type different from that found in LDL), some cholesterol, phospholipids, and very little fat. The densest of all the lipoproteins, HDL is the healthy one.
What are high-density lipoproteins made of?
High-density lipoproteins are made of lipoprotein particles, several proteins, some cholesterol, phospholipids, and a few triacylgylcerol.
What does renal hypodensities mean?
Kidney or urinary lowdensity head in this example a cyst
What is the core of lipoproteins made of?
The core is made of cholesterol and triacygylcerols. It is hydrophobic.
The substances that serve as the major vehicles for fat transport in the bloodstream are?
The substances that serve as the major vehicles for fat transport in the bloodstream are lipoproteins, specifically chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). These lipoproteins carry fats, such as triglycerides and cholesterol, to various tissues in the body for energy production or storage.
How is the production of endogenous very low-density lipoproteins decreased?

Which organ forms lipoproteins?
The liver produces lipoproteins.
What is the outer layer of lipoproteins made of?
The outer layer is made of amphipathic phospholipids, free cholesterol, and apolipoproteins.

What are synthesized by the liver to transport fat to the rest of the body?
very low density lipoproteins
How many kinds of lipoproteins are there?
There are five major types of lipoproteins
Are lipoproteins produce by the small intestine?
yes, they can be..these lipoproteins are known as Chylomicrons.
What are Intermediate-density lipoproteins?
IDLs are short-lived lipoproteins containing about 30% cholesterol that are converted in the liver to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs)
