After consuming a high-fat meal, what happens to the plasma concentration of chylomicrons?

The activity of the hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose tissue decreases, leading to a decrease in plasma concentrations of free fatty acids.
Insulin inhibits the activity and synthesis of lipoprotein lipase in capillaries of adipose tissue.
By the action of the hormone-sensitive lipase, approximately 90% of the triglycerides of chylomicrons are hydrolyzed. Thus, chylomicrons are transformed into lipoproteins rich in cholesterol and cholesterol esters, called VLDL.
The plasma concentration of chylomicrons increases.
