Question
which lipoprotein transports dietary fat to the cells in your body?
vldls (very - low - density lipoproteins)
chylomicrons
hdls (high - density lipoproteins)
ldls (low - density lipoproteins)
Chylomicrons are responsible for transporting dietary fat (triglycerides) from the intestine to various cells in the body. VLDLs transport triglycerides synthesized in the liver. HDLs are involved in reverse cholesterol transport (removing cholesterol from cells and transporting it back to the liver). LDLs mainly transport cholesterol to cells. Since the question is about dietary fat transport, chylomicrons are the correct answer.
