These lipids are then packaged into spherical lipoproteins, particles of lipids and proteins, known as chylomicrons, which are secreted into lymphatic vessels and subsequently enter the blood stream. Once in the circulatory system the triacylglycerol components of the chylomicrons are degraded to fatty acids and glycerol by the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which is attached to the luminal (inner) side of capillary vessels in heart, muscle, adipose (commonly 

If the diet does not provide sufficient lipid to satisfy immediate needs, the fatty acids stored in the adipose tissue in the form of triacylglycerols may be required (discussed later, see fig. 18.20). In addition, most tissues have the ca- 

The chylomicrons are delivered to other tissues in the body via the bloodstream. In the tissues the chylomicrons bind to the endothelial cells of the capillaries and are degraded to fatty acids and glycerol by lipoprotein lipase. This enzyme is secreted by cells in the tissue and is bound to the endothelial cells.
