VLDL/LDL acts as a drug carrier and regulates the transport and metabolism of drugs in the body

Abstract Only free drugs have been believed to be carried into tissues through active or passive transport. However, considering that lipoproteins function as carriers of serum lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides, we hypothesized that lipoproteins can associate with certain drugs and mediat...
