Chylomicron Lipoprotein Cross-Section
A Chylomicron is a small fat globule composed of protein and fat. Chylomicrons are found in the blood and lymphatic fluid where they serve to transport fat from its port of entry in the intestine to the liver and to adipose tissue. There is a cross-section through the phospholipid layer, exposing the triglyceride core beneath. It is the least dense, with 8% phospholipid (off-white outer layer), 87% triglyceride (red), 1% protein (purple)
