amongst the multiple genetic factors determining the common forms of hyperlipidemia , the apolipoprotein genes coding for the major peptides of the plasma lipoproteins ( chylomicrons , vldl , ldl and hdl ) may be of particular relevance since the latter form a system of inter-converting particles for the delivery of lipid ( triglyceride and cholesterol ) to peripheral tissues ( including the arterial wall ) .
