The endogenous pathway involves the liver synthesizing lipoproteins. TG and cholesterol ester are generated by the liver and packaged into VLDL particles and then released into the circulation.

The authors present an introduction to the basics of lipid metabolism including an overview of the structure and function of lipoproteins and a description of the pathways of lipid metabolism.

These compounds are predominantly found in esterified forms within various lipids, including neutral lipids, phospholipids, and glycolipids. Collectively, these are often referred to as fatty acid ...
