Intermediate density lipoprotein
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Intermediate density lipoproteins are a class of lipoproteins formed from the degradation of very low density lipoproteins, constituted essentially of triacylglycerols and cholesterol esters. They are cleared from the plasma into the liver by receptor-mediated endocytosis, or further degraded to form low density lipoproteins. They are usually 25 to 35 nm in diameter.
