A

Liver and intestine

35
Q

What are the 3 pathways for cholesterol transport?

A

exogenous

endogenous

reverse cholesterol transport

36
Q

What turns cholesterol into cholesteryl esters in exogenou pathway?

A

ACAT (cholesterol acetyltransferase

37
Q

Endogenous cholesterol pathway

A

VLDL (in liver) → IDL formed → metabolized to LDL OR back to liver

38
Q

LDL accounts for ____ of total plasma cholesterol

A

2/3

39
Q

What lipoprotein acts as a scavenger to remove cholesterol?

A

HDL

40
Q

What is the ultimate return of cholesterol from HDL2 to liver?

A

reverse cholesterol transport

41
Q

What turns cholesterol into esterfied cholesterol in reverse cholesterol transport?

A

LCAT (lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase)

42
Q

Describe a negative route of cholesterol metabolism

A

LDL → oxidized LDL → uptake by scavenger macrophages → LDL metabolism

  1. form foam cells → resterfy cholesterol → accumulation in arterial intima → initial states of atherosclerotic plaque formation
43
Q

Describe 3 positive routes of cholesterol metabolism

A
  1. LDL → extrahepatic tissue → steroid hormones, cell membranes
  2. LDL → liver → bile acids, cell membranes
  3. LDL metabolized → release of free cholesterol → scavenged by HDL3 → return to liver via HDL3
44
Q

Which disease is associated with atherosclerosis?

A

Hypertriglyceridemia

** even in absence of hypercholesterolemia

45
Q

What are 3 studies that were involved with the Lipid Hypothesis?

A
  1. Antischkow & Chaltow
  2. Framingham
  3. Seven country
46
Q

What was the basis of the lipid hypothesis?

A

Lowering elevated cholesterol with diet and drugs lower risk of CHD

**no support of decreased cholesterol effective in lowering CHD or prolonging life

47
Q

What studies involved statins?

A

Scandinavian simvastatin suvival study

heart protection study

48
Q

Which study was the first to demonstrate benefit to women?

A

Heart Protection Study (simvastatin)

**not observed in first year
