Knowledge of chylomicron metabolism is very important in understanding and treating protein malnutrition, since these particles are the primary carriers of dietary fat in lymph and plasma. In the bloodstream, fat transported in chylomicrons is hydrolyzed by the action of lipoprotein lipase and the r...
