Chylomicrons (CM) are large (75–450 nm), spherical lipoprotein particles secreted by intestinal cells postprandially and transport dietary fat and fat-soluble vitamins in the lymphatic system (Nayak et al. 2001, During & Harrison 2007). All-trans-retinyl esters (atREs) are packaged into nascent chylomicrons.
