title: [Structure and metabolism of lipoproteins].
abstract: Lipoproteins constitute in plasma a dynamic system allowing lipid transport. For this purpose, apolipoproteins play a very important part. They control and regulate lipid transfer between lipoproteins themselves and among cells, from their hepatic as intestinal synthesis sites to their hepatic as peripheral degradation sites. Enzymatic systems and specific receptors are involved to operate this metabolic pathway.
