Lipoprotein Structure Diagram

A detailed cross-section reveals the intricate architecture of a lipoprotein. Its core, a mix of orange triglycerides and purple cholesterol esters, is encased by a single layer of phospholipids, depicted with yellow tails. Adorning the surface are different apolipoproteins, shown as green chains and colorful spheres, crucial for its function in lipid transport.
