The Lipoproteins That Carry Absorbed Lipids from the Intestinal Tract

Question

The lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream are
A) HDLs.
B) VLDLs.
C) LDLs.
D) chylomicrons.
E) coenzymes.

Accepted Answer

Chylomicrons are the lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream. HDLs carry cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver for processing, while VLDLs and LDLs transport triglycerides and cholesterol, respectively, in the opposite direction, from the liver to other tissues in the body. Coenzymes are non-protein molecules that aid in enzymatic reactions.
