VLDL is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)) that enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream. VLDL is converted in the bloodstream to low-density lipoprotein (LDL).A fat produced by the liver after food has been absorbed and before it becomes low density lipoprotein.A lipid-protein complex involved in the transport of lipids from the liver and gut to storage sites.A type of lipid (fat) and protein complex made by the liver and transported in the blood. Elevated levels of VLDL in the blood are associated with high triglyceride levels, a buildup of plaque in the arteries, and an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease."}
