A person switches from high fat diet to low fat diet with compensatory increase in carbohydrates to maintain the same calories. Which of the following fat component will be increased ?
As excess of carbohydrates are conveed to fat in the body (liver) which eventually gets packed into VLDL so, VLDL represents the amount of fat production in the body, or in other words, it also represent excess dietary carbohydrate intake. While Chylomicrons represents the externally taken fats. Function Lipoproteins Lipoprotein rich in triglyceride Lipoprotein with least electrophoretic mobility Transpoer of dietary (exogenous) triglycerides & Cholesterol Chylomicrons Transpoer of endogenous triglycerides VLDL Transpos endogenous Cholesterol from Liver to Peripheral tissue. LDL Lipoprotein rich in apolipoproteins Transpos excess Cholesterol from Peripheral tissue to Liver called as reverse cholesterol transpo HDL has the highest electrophoretic mobility and least lipid content. HDL paicles are the densest. On electrophoresis, HDL moves fahest on electrophoretic plate towards the anode. HDL Lipoprotein resembling plasminogen Lp(a)
