core of circulating TG-rich lipoproteins, chylomicrons, and very lowdensity lipoproteins (VLDL).
LPL-catalyzed reaction products, fatty acids, and monoacylglycerol are
in part taken up by the tissues locally and processed differentially; e.g.,
they are stored as neutral lipids in adipose tissue, oxidized, or stored in
skeletal and cardiac muscle or as cholesteryl ester and TG in
macrophages.
