Where Ldl Comes from?

Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles also carry triglycerides to tissues. But they are made by the liver. As the body's cells extract fatty acids from VLDLs, the particles turn into intermediate density lipoproteins, and, with further extraction, into LDL particles.

Where is LDL found?

Inside the cell is where the LDLs create cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty, waxy substance that helps to keep the body functioning correctly. When cholesterol is inside of our cells, it is either used by the cell, stored, or expelled from the body. Many of our LDL receptors are found in the liver.
