Abstract

Hypertriglyceridemic VLDL S(f) 60-400 are bound, internalized, and degraded by normal fibroblasts primarily by the high affinity LDL receptor-mediated pathway; by contrast, normal VLDL S(f) 60-400 are bound, internalized, and degraded by normal fibroblasts primarily by nonspecific, nonsaturable routes; and of the normal VLDL subclasses, only the smallest S(f) 20-60 fraction is bound and internalized via the LDL pathway.
