HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Cholesterol and triglycerides are the major lipids in humans and are transported in plasma by lipoproteins. A lipoprotein is composed of cholesterol, triglycerides, and a single apolipoprotein B100 molecule (apoB) when secreted into plasma by the liver, and is referred to as a very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL).

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipoprotein classes: Ideally, the lipoprotein assemblies should be described in terms of the main protein components known as apoproteins (or ‘apolipoproteins’), as these determine the overall structures and metabolism and the interactions with receptor molecules in liver and peripheral tissues.
