Plasma lipoproteins are a heterogeneous population of soluble, macromolecular aggregates of lipids and proteins. They are responsible for the transport of waterinsoluble nutrients through the vascular and extravascular fluids from their site of synthesis or absorption to peripheral tissues (1,2). These hydrophobic nutrients (triacylglycerols [TGs] and cholesteryl esters [CEs]) are delivered from the liver and intestine to other tissues in the body for storage or catabolism in the production of energy. Lipoproteins are also known to be involved in other biological processes, including coagulation and tissue repair as well as immune reactions (3,4).
血浆脂蛋白是脂质和蛋白质的可溶性大分子聚集体的异质群体。它们负责将水不溶性营养物质通过血管和血管外液从其合成或吸收部位运输到外周组织(1,2)。这些疏水性营养物质（三酰甘油[TGs]和胆固醇酯[CEs]）从肝脏和肠道输送到身体其他组织，用于储存或在能量产生过程中进行分解代谢。脂蛋白还参与其他生物学过程，包括凝血、组织修复以及免疫反应(3,4)。
