Abstract
Triglyceride transport is an efficient process. Meals containing as much as 100 g triglycerides are usually absorbed and disposed within a few hours with only a moderate rise in the plasma triglyceride concentration.1 Most of the lipoprotein triglycerides are unloaded through hydrolysis by lipoprotein lipase at endothelial sites in extra-hepatic tissues.2 It is often stated that this step is rate-limiting for triglyceride transport, and that it directs the tissue distribution of lipid uptake.3 Inherent in this concept are two assumptions that we will discuss in this paper.
