For each scenario below, choose the most appropriate
answer from the list above. Each option may be used once, more than once or not
at all.
1. The molecule that is
formed by the gut after a meal and is the main carrier of dietary triglycerides

capillaries of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and it removes triglyceride
from lipoproteins.
3. The smallest lipoprotein
which carries cholesterol from extra-hepatic tissues to the liver for
excretion.
4. This molecule is present
in the fasting state in cases of lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
5. The first intermediate
formed after VLDL particles synthesised by the liver are degraded.
