CC LIPOPROTEINS Flashcards
is absorbed by CM and delivered by VLDL and LDL
vit. E
does not require CM for absorption
vit. D
independent from lipoproteins
vit. A, K
proteins responsible for solubility of lipids in blood
- structural integrity of lipoproteins
apolipoproteins
plasma conc. of B-48
< 5
efflux of cholesterol from peripheral cells towards the HDL
ABCA
esterification of free cholesterol to cholesterol ester
LCAT
hydrolyze TAG and phospholipids from HDL
endothelial lipase
hydrolyze TAG and phospholipids from HDL, IDL, and VLDL
Hepatic lipase
hydrolyze TAG and CHOLE from HDL
LPP LIPASE
Most non-atherogenic LPP
largest and least dense
chylomicrons
chylomicrons are completely cleared after __ hours of fasting
6-9 hrs
apolipoproteins of chylomicrons
B-48
A-I
C
E
reverse cholesterol transport
-cardioprotective
HDL
Nascent disk-shaped particles
alpha lipoprotein
smallest most dense
HDL
Atherogenic transporter of TAG
pre-beta lipoprotein
-transport endogenous TAG exported by the liver
VLDL
apolipoproteins of VLDL
B-100
C
E
Most atherogenic
Beta lipoprotein
measure indirectly
“most cholesterol rich”
LDL
forward cholesterol transport
LDL
apolipoproteins of LDL
B-100
E
Product of VLDL catabolism
converted to LDL
-NOT MEASURED IN HEALTHY SERUM
IDL
Found in px with obstructive jaundice and LCAT deficiency
LP X
Sinking pre-beta lipoprotein
LDL-like variant
independent risk factor of atherosclerosis
Lp (a)
floating beta lipoprotein
migrates abnormally in the beta regions, instead of the pre-beta region
B-VLDL
