Accumulation of large very low density lipoprotein in plasma during intravenous infusion of a chylomicron-like triglyceride emulsion reflects competition for a common lipolytic pathway.

Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are produced in the liver and contain apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 and endogenous lipids.
