Very low-density lipoprotein
ONE OF THE FIVE MAJOR GROUPS OF LIPOPROTEIN
VLDL; Very-low-density-lipoprotein; Lipoproteins, vldl; Very-low-density lipoprotein; Very low density lipoprotein; VLDL particle
Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), density relative to extracellular water, is a type of lipoprotein made by the liver. VLDL is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein) that enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream.
