  "term": "Plasma lipoproteins",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Complex particles found in blood plasma that consist of a core of hydrophobic lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol esters) surrounded by a hydrophilic shell of phospholipids, cholesterol, and apolipoproteins. These structures are responsible for transporting lipids throughout the body. They are classified by density, such as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).",
