Very low-density lipoprotein

A type of lipoprotein that contains the highest amount of triglycerides among the three main types of lipoproteins. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is considered a type of 'bad cholesterol' because it contributes to the buildup of cholesterol on the walls of arteries, potentially leading to cardiovascular diseases. This lipoprotein is particularly relevant for individuals undergoing cholesterol management or those at risk of heart disease.
