Lipids are fatty substances used by the body and include cholesterol, cholesterol esters, phospholipids, and triglycerides. Chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) are the major classes of lipoproteins that carry the lipids in the blood (Elsevier, 2012). ................
