chylomicrons
Chylomicrons are the largest and least - dense lipoproteins. They are responsible for transporting dietary triglycerides from the intestines to other tissues. HDL (High - density lipoprotein) is dense and involved in cholesterol removal. LDL (Low - density lipoprotein) is intermediate in density and transports cholesterol to cells. VLDL (Very - low - density lipoprotein) is less dense than LDL but denser than chylomicrons and transports endogenous triglycerides.
