the brain also has a lipoprotein delivery system but here's the difference what is the main structural protein in the periphery APO b or APO A1 what is the main structural protein in the brain APO e so when an asy makes an lipoprotein it's an APO e containing lipo protein and by the way they're smaller much smaller than the particles the bra that we find in the periphery if we put them in a cuge they have the density of a high density lipoprotein that would floats around the periphery so they're often called brain hdls but don't confuse brain hdls with peripheral hdls cuz most of the brain hdl's have APO e as their structural protein in the periphery they have a A1
