VLDLrester
VLDLrester is a term used in fictional or speculative discussions to denote an imagined intermediate particle in the metabolism of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). The coinage blends VLDL with the notion of a remnant, suggesting a transitional form that could hypothetically arise during lipolytic processing of VLDL.
Concept and proposed characteristics: In the hypothetical model, a VLDLrester would form when VLDL particles undergo
Physiological role: As a transitional particle, the VLDLrester would bridge lipolysis and receptor-mediated clearance, possibly influencing
Status and usage: The concept is not a recognized entity in human physiology or clinical lipidology. It
