This chapter provides an in-depth exploration of lipid absorption, mobilization mechanisms, and the role of lipoproteins, particularly focusing on Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) and their connection to arterial plaque buildup. It also examines the energy reserves of a 150 lb individual, highlighting the caloric contributions of triglycerides, proteins, glycogen, and glucose. Notably, it illustrates the significant amount of fat stored in the body compared to glycogen, emphasizing the importance of bile salts in fat storage and mobilization processes.

Energy Reserves of a 150 lb Man • 100,000 kcal of TAG, 25,000 kcal protein, 600 kcal glycogen, 40 kcal glucose. • 24 lbs of body weight is TAG • Would need 121lbs of glycogen to store the same amount of energy
