Figure 2. Non-LpL mediated uptake of CMs and VLDL by ECs.

Figure 2.

In capillaries, most FAs from TG are liberated by LpL, but with LpL deficiency or in arteries a novel pathway for CM uptake is likely to be present that does not involve CD36. In arteries, this additional pathway leads to uptake of lipids or chylomicrons to form intracellular lipid droplets.
