Answer:

VLDL (Very low-density lipoproteins).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipoproteins may be defined as the molecular association of the lipids and proteins that aids the transport fat in the water or in the polar environment. The outer layer is hydrophilic and interior is hydrophobic.

Different lipoproteins are HDL, LDL, and VLDL. The very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). This lipiprotein is made by liver and stored in the liver for the fat storage. The amount of VLDL increase by the excess intake of the calories that are made of carbohydrate.

Thus, the answer is VLDL.
