kylomikronremnants
Kylomikronremnants, more commonly known as chylomicron remnants, are the lipoprotein particles left after chylomicrons transport dietary triglycerides to body tissues. Chylomicrons are formed in enterocytes, contain apoB-48 as their main structural apolipoprotein, and acquire apoC-II and apoE from high-density lipoproteins in the bloodstream.
After entering circulation, lipoprotein lipase on capillary endothelium hydrolyzes the triglycerides within chylomicrons, releasing fatty acids
Clinically, efficient clearance of chylomicron remnants helps terminate postprandial lipemia and limits remnant-associated cholesterol delivery to
