blood lipoprotein triglyceride level blood low density lipoprotein triglyceride level 2015-12-03T15:10:57Z CMO:0002687 EFO:0009946 Measurement of the amount of triglyceride (any of a group of lipids that are esters formed from one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of one or more fatty acids, are widespread in adipose tissue, and commonly circulate in the blood in the form of lipoproteins) carried in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) molecules in a specified volume of blood. LDL constitute a class of relatively large, heterogeneous lipoprotein particles, complex molecules that consist of a protein membrane surrounding a core of lipids. The LDL class of lipoproteins has a density between 1.019 and 1.063 g/ml. In some animal species, such as canine and rodents, this may overlap with the HDL1 class and be designated LDL/HDL1.
