Lipid Transport and Storage
Introduction

Dietary fats, as well as Lipids synthesized in The Liver and adipose tissue, must be transported to other Tissues and Organs where they are either utilized or stored. Since lipids are insoluble in Water, Structure/149.html">The problem of their transport in an aqueous medium (Blood Plasma) arises; this is solved through the Interaction of Non-polar lipids (triacylglycerols and Cholesterol esters) with Amphipathic Lipids (Phospholipids and cholesterol) and Proteins, resulting in The formation of water-miscible Lipoproteins.
