72. The target site for the action of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which is bound to the capillary endothelial walls, is the

A. Histone core of circulating nucleoproteins
B. Triacylglycerol core inside chylomicrons and VLDLs
✓
C. Peptide bonds of structural glycoproteins
D. Oligosaccharide chain of circulating immunoglobulins

📝 Explanation

Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyzes the triacylglycerols inside circulating chylomicrons and VLDLs, releasing free fatty acids for tissue uptake.
