Definition:A laboratory test which measures the amount of phospholipid (phosphorus-containing lipids composed mainly of fatty acids, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule) found in the very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction of blood. VLDL consitute a class of large (diameter approximately 30-80 nm) lipoprotein particles, complexes that consist of a protein layer surrounding a core of lipids.
