What is another word for very low density lipoprotein?
Pronunciation: [vˈɛɹɪ lˈə͡ʊ dˈɛnsɪti lˈɪpəpɹˌə͡ʊtiːn] (IPA) 
Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) is a type of lipoprotein that is mostly made up of triglycerides. It is produced by the liver and transported to the rest of the body to be used as energy or stored in fat cells. However, high levels of VLDL can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Synonyms for VLDL include "triglyceride-rich lipoprotein," "pre-beta lipoprotein," and "beta-VLDL." Monitoring VLDL levels through blood tests is crucial in managing heart health and reducing the risk of heart disease. A healthy diet, regular exercise, and medication (if necessary) can help manage VLDL levels and promote overall heart health.
