Lipid transport refers to the process by which fats and oils, known as lipids, move through the bloodstream to various tissues in the body. Lipids are not soluble in water, so they are packaged into special carriers called lipoproteins. These lipoproteins, which include chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL, help transport lipids to cells where they can be used for energy or stored for later use. The liver plays a crucial role in lipid transport by producing many of these lipoproteins. After digestion, dietary lipids are absorbed in the intestines and then transported as chylomicrons into the bloodstream. As lipoproteins circulate, they deliver lipids to cells and tissues, while also removing excess cholesterol, thus maintaining overall lipid balance in the body.
