Step-by-step explanation:

Endogenous pathway for lipid metabolism: VLDL is formed in the liver from triglycerides and cholesterol esters. ... In the liver, LDL is converted into bile acids and secreted into the intestines. In non hepatic tissues, LDL is used in hormone production, cell membrane synthesis, or stored.
