APOLIPOPROTEINS Flashcards
1
Q
APOLIPOPROTEIN A1 (91724)
A
protein carried in HDL
Like HDL, elevated concentrations are associated with reduced risk of CVD.
High levels of = GOOD!
2
Q
APOLIPOPROTEIN B (91726)
A
Guideline based test that is a powerful indicator of CAD.
Protein carried in a non-HDL lipoprotein particles and represents total number of atherogenic particles in circulation
High levels of = BAD!
3
Q
APOLIPOPROTEIN EVALUATION (91727)
A
Ratio of Apo A1 and Apo B
Equation - Apo B/A1 ratio
4
Q
LIPOPROTEIN (a) (91729)
A
Elevated concentrations of Lp(a) are associated with increased risk of CAD.
Is a LDL-like particle with an Apo B bound to its subunit.
High levels = BAD!
