- Slide 1
- 1 LIPID TRANSPORT Lipoproteins Lipids are transported in the
blood as lipoproteins are soluble in water because the surface
consists of polar lipids.
- Slide 2
- 2 Lipid transport Apolipoproteins + Lipids: Cholesterol
Cholesteryl esters Triacylglycerols Phospholids lipoproteins
Combine lipids with proteins and phospholipids.
