The rat liver secretes very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) containing either apoB-100 or apoB-48. After oral fat intake, chylomicrons containing apoB-48 and endogenously synthesized VLDL are mixed in the blood and the triglyceride clearance from these triglyceride-rich lipoprotein species compete for the same lipolytic pathway, i.e., lipoprotein lipase. A situation mimicking alimentary lipemia was induced by a short-term intravenous primed infusion of a chylomicron-like triglyceride emulsion...
