Scope note

  • A mixture of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), particularly the triglyceride-poor VLDL, with slow diffuse electrophoretic mobilities in the beta and alpha2 regions which are similar to that of beta-lipoproteins (LDL) or alpha-lipoproteins (HDL). They can be intermediate (remnant) lipoproteins in the de-lipidation process, or remnants of mutant CHYLOMICRONS and VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS which cannot be metabolized completely as seen in FAMILIAL DYSBETALIPOPROTEINEMIA.

History note

  • 2007, use LIPOPROTEINS, IDL (NM) 1978-2006; for BETA-VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS use LIPOPROTEINS, VLDL 1982-2006; for ALPHA2-VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS use LIPOPROTEINS, VLDL 1986-2006
