distributed lipoproteins that possess anti-oxidant, anti-atherosclerotic properties (Li
et al. 1999), anti-inflammatory, vaso-regulatory, anti-thrombotic properties (Shapiro
and Fazio 2017), Apolipoprotein-B considered as one of the important lipids which
consist activity for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (Stamler et al. 2000).
Cholesterol and triglycerides considered as crucial components of lipids, clinically
the level of plasma lipoprotein may be increase or decrease leads to hyperlipidemia
or hypolipidemia due to abnormal concentration.
Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) consists of cholesterol, triglycerides and protein, and considered as bad cholesterol because its high level can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease.
Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) contains triglycerides, some cholesterol molecules, and less protein, it is less dense due to high lipid contents and
responsible for the transport of triglycerides to cells in the body.
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) considered as good cholesterol, it is dense
lipoprotein due to less cholesterol and more protein. HDL is made in the liver and
in the intestines; it carries cholesterol from cells back to the liver.
Chylomicrons is a type of lipoprotein and dense in nature due to more triglycerides and less protein, responsible for transporting lipids molecules from the intestine to cells in the body (Kuske and Feldman 1987).
