Question: how vldl is converted to ldl?
Answer: As the VLDL shrink, some of the apolipoproteins (C-series and E) transfer to HDL. Finally, the shrinking VLDL becomes an IDL and then an LDL. The LDL will attach to an apoprotein B100 or E receptor on hepatocytes or extrahepatic tissues and be taken into the cell where its component parts will be hydrolyzed.
