Entry terms

  • Cholesterol, Pre-beta-Lipoprotein
  • Cholesterol, Prebetalipoprotein
  • Pre beta Lipoprotein Cholesterol
  • Pre-beta-Lipoprotein Cholesterol
  • Prebetalipoprotein Cholesterol
  • Very Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
  • VLDL Cholesterol

Scope note

  • Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). High circulating levels of VLDL cholesterol are found in HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE IIB. The cholesterol on the VLDL is eventually delivered by LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS to the tissues after the catabolism of VLDL to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LDL.

History note
