Ceramides
They are served as transport vehicle for fat. To transfer one fat from one part of the body to another part of the body
Lipoprotein
Four classes of lipoprotein
Chylomicrons
Very low density lipoprotein VLDL
Low density lipoprotein LDL
High density lipoprotein HDL
It functions to carry dietary triacyl glycerols TAGs (or triglyceride) from intestines to other tissues such as adipose tissue ( bilbil)
Chylomicrons
Chylomicrons is also known as
Ultra low density lipoprotein
Carry TAGs - triacyl lycerol from the liver
VLDL
It is also known as bad cholestero
LDL
It carry cholesterol to peripheral tissue
LDL
Also known as good cholesterol
HDL
Carry cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver
HDL
Also known as good cholesterol
HDL
Carry cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver, but it brings back the cholesterol to the liver to be utilized further
HDL
