Abstract
Although the importance of lipoprotein membranes in the economy of the living cell has been recognised for many years, the study of the role of soluble lipoproteins as the agents of lipid transport has only recently begun to attract a comparable degree of attention. This has been mainly directed towards the relatively accessible problem of fat transport in extracellular fluids, for which it is evident that some form of hydrophilic complex is essential. In the restricted context of fatty acid transport, the need can be met by the formation of a simple complex with a protein like albumin but, for the transport of large amounts of such substances as triglyceride or cholesterol, a system capable of operating with a higher ratio of hydrophobic to hydrophilic components is necessary.
