blood lipoprotein triglyceride level blood very low density lipoprotein triglyceride level 2015-12-03T15:13:24Z CMO:0002688 EFO:0022144 EFO:0022145 EFO:0022155 EFO:0022178 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 very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) molecules in a specified volume of blood. VLDL constitute a class of large (e.g. approximately 30-80 nm in diameter) lipoprotein particles, complex molecules that consist of a protein membrane surrounding a core of lipids. The VLDL class of lipoproteins has a density between 0.95 and 1.006 g/ml.
