Very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-c, VLDL-ch)

The main function of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is to transport endogenous triglycerides synthesized in the liver. Normal VLDL generally does not have an atherogenic effect. However, since glycerol triglyceride in VLDL accounts for 50% to 70% and cholesterol accounts for 8% to 12%, once VLDL levels are significantly increased, in addition to elevated triglycerides in plasma, cholesterol levels also increase.
