Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intestinal cells synthesize chylomicrons in order to circulate long-chain fatty acids away from the gastrointestinal tract. VLDL is produced mainly by the liver, while LDL is formed from the modification of VLDL in the circulation. Triglycerides are stored in adipose tissue or used for energy in skeletal muscle, but are not synthesized by intestinal cells for circulation.
