Indian hedgehog? edit

This is probably the most ludicrously obscure example I have ever seen, and I am incredibly ambiguous about it. Initially it seems like a much better idea to use a more common example, but what actually happened with me is I followed the link and learned some cool factoids about a peptide hormone that I had never heard of before, which is a good thing. It seems like a dumb idea, but then it seems like a great idea! I'm just wondering what others think of an example like this? Dcs002 (talk) 18:10, 4 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article states "It is assembled in the liver from cholesterol and apolipoproteins." The composition measured by Schonfield et al. (J Clin Invest, 1979, vol 64 pages 1288-1297) measured the contents of VLDL as 78% triglyceride, 4.7% cholesterol, 9.5% phospholipid and 7.6% protein (ApoB-100). Surely at nearly 80%, the triglyceride composition should not have been ignored?--198.28.92.5 11:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
