Are these released in circulation as lipoprotein complexes? What are the five different types of lipoprotein complexes? Which has the highest cholesterol content? Which has the highest and which the lowest protein-lipid ratio? How does the protein-lipid ratio affect the density?

Identify each lipoprotein described here as either chylomicron, HDL, LDL, or VLDL. (a) Which lipoprotein has the lowest density? Why? (b) Which lipoprotein carries triacylglycerols from the diet? (c) Which lipoprotein removes cholesterol from circulation? (d) Which lipoprotein contains "bad cholesterol" from a vascular disease risk standpoint? (e) Which lipoprotein has the highest ratio of protein to lipid? (f) Which lipoprotein carries triacylglycerols from the liver to peripheral tissues? How are triacylglycerols used? (g) Which lipoprotein transports cholesterol from the liver to peripheral tissues?
