MeSH Heading: Chylomicron Remnants
Tree Number(s): D10.532.183.500; D12.776.521.242.500
Unique ID: D053298
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053298
Scope Note: Metabolic products of chylomicron particles in which TRIGLYCERIDES have been selectively removed by the LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE. These remnants carry dietary lipids in the blood and are cholesterol-rich. Their interactions with MACROPHAGES; ENDOTHELIAL CELLS; and SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS in the artery wall can lead to ATHEROSCLEROSIS.
Entry Term(s): Chylomicron Remnant
Previous Indexing: Chylomicrons (1976-2006)
See Also: Atherosclerosis
