Question
Answer
Where are lipoproteins made? What is their job?   intestinal mucosa and liver. These proteins are found in the plasma and transport cholesterol and triglycerides to areas of utilization and storage  
🗑

🗑
Def of triglyceride?   Dietary lipid used by body  
🗑

🗑
Rank the 4 lipoproteins (skip IDL) from most triglyceride content to least.   Most triglyceride is in Chylomicrons > VLDL > LDL > HDL. Least triglyceride is in HDL. So chylomicrons are all fat no muscle (protein)  
🗑
Rank the 4 lipoproteins (skip IDL) from most protein content to least.   HDL has most protein > LDL> VLDL > Chylomicron So HDLs are all muscle (protein) and little fat.  
🗑

🗑
