Fats vs Lipids
This article needs clean-up to distinguish fats from lipids. I'll get to it myself soon if no one else does. Dcs002 (talk) 23:45, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I took care of that issue in the intro section. I also deleted references to fat and dietary fat from the intro. Fat (triglyceride) transport should be covered somewhere in this article to some extent, but not in the intro.


 * I think we should also look at the target audience for this article. Some parts read very technically and assume much prior knowledge, and some read comparatively simply. Dcs002 (talk) 22:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

APO vs Apo formatting
This article and related ones (e.g. ApoB, APOE) typically use "Apo" in their introductions but switch to all-caps APO for both gene and protein for the rest of the article. As a unified encyclopedia, I'd like if we could standardize this. I think it would be helpful for novice readers to learn how gene nomenclature should work. (On a related note, many articles neglect to italicize gene names.) Thoughts? Am I making a mountain out of a molehill? Aeffenberger (talk) 19:59, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Writing evaluation for class
This page didn't cover the topic comprehensively. It didn't mention the information of some classes like apoF and apoM. To improve this page, I think to put more information includes the function of more apolipoprotein classes into function section will be better since it only had few classes mentioned in this section. Moreover, adding a new section about the disease and dysfunction of apolipoprotein will be a good idea I think.
