Measurement of expired carbon dioxide to assess the metabolism of remnant lipoproteins.
The cholesteryl esters transported from the intestine in chylomicrons are delivered to the liver. Hepatocytes take up chylomicron remnants by receptor-mediated endocytosis and the cholesteryl esters are subsequently degraded. In this study we measured the appearance in breath of labeled carbon dioxi...
