VLDL very-low-density lipoprotein.

β-VLDL , beta VLDL a mixture of lipoproteins with diffuse electrophoretic mobility approximately that of β-lipoproteins but having lower density; they are remnants derived from mutant chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins that cannot be metabolized completely and accumulate in plasma.

pre-β-VLDL  very-low-density lipoprotein, emphasizing its electrophoretic mobility.

VLDL

Very-low-density lipoprotein A plasma lipoprotein with a density of 0.950-1.006 kg/L–US: 0.950-1.006 g/dl; VLDL is 6-10% protein–apoB-100 and apoC, with some apoE, 15-20% phospholipid, 20-30% cholesterol and 45-65% TGs; VLDL is composed of endogenous TGs of hepatic origin
