[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1675029, member: 6467"] On another point, I was reading the description about how the VLDL etc. carried fats to the cells and then was remodelled by the liver. I got the impression that it was an out-and-back process where the fat went out to the body then the carriers got remodelled when they returned to the liver. However I checked and it seems that an individual drop of blood completes a circuit of the body in around a minute. So if it takes 90 minutes, for example, for a variant of LDL to complete the cycle of delivering fat to the tissues, it must pass through the liver around 90 times before being remodelled. Trying to visualise this is doing my head in at the moment. [/QUOTE]
