リポタンパク質（lipoprotein）はタンパク質と脂質でできた粒子で、血流中を移動してさまざまな脂質を運搬する役割を担っています。ただ、血液中の濃度が高すぎる状態が続くとアテローム性動脈硬化症（atherosclerosis）などの病気を引き起こしてしまうため、慎重に調整しておく必要があります。今回はこのタンパク質に関するお話です。

Lipoproteins are particles made of proteins and lipids that carry various lipids through the bloodstream. However, if blood levels are too high for an extended period, diseases such as atherosclerosis will occur first, so they must be carefully regulated. This article includes an explanation of this protein.
