• Most TG is transported in the plasma by TG-rich lipoproteins (TRL, which includes hepatically-derived VLDL and intestinally-derived chylomicrons), with measurable but quantitatively insignificant TG transported in LDL, lipoprotein(a) and HDL particles.
• In fasting conditions, TG is predominantly carried in VLDL particles and their remnants, with chylomicrons absent from the plasma of a normolipidemic individual after a 14hour fast. In the postprandial state, TG is additionally carried in chylomicrons and their remnants.
