LDL receptor deficiency unmasks altered VLDL triglyceride metabolism in VLDL receptor transgenic and knockout mice

The very low density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR) has been proposed to play a role in the delivery of fatty acids to peripheral tissues. However, despite reduced adipose tissue mass in VLDLR-deficient (VLDLR-/-) mice, this has been difficult to substantiate. In the present study, VLDLR-deficient and...
