Q

What are the 2 main types of lipids?

A
  1. Cholesterol (helps form steroid hormones and bile acids)
  2. Triglycerides (helps transfer energy from food to cells)

Q

________= how lipids are transported

  • Contain proteins – “apoproteins”
  • Classified by density
    • Low density = more triglycerides
    • High density = more apoproteins
A

Lipoproteins

Q

Transport:

  1. Liver uses fat and CHO stores to make VLDL
  2. VLDL transfers TG to cells
  3. As VLDL loses TG, LDL created
  4. LDL provides cholesterol to cells
  5. Excess LDL taken up by liver, cholesterol excreted into bile
  6. HDL made in liver & intestine

Q

What is HDL’s role in the transport of lipids?

A
  • HDL is made in liver and intestine
  • Helps with apoprotein transport & reversal of cholesterol transport (transfers cholesterol to other lipoproteins or directly into liver)

Q

Most triglycerides are found in ______particles

A

VLDL

VLDL cholesterol= TG/5

**Must be fasting to give lowest TG (if TG too high, estimation of LDL can be wrong)**

Q

Process of _______ is started by excess cholesterol (VLDL and LDL)

  • Result of abnormal cholesterol metabolism
    • Genetic
    • Insulin resistance
    • Organ dysfunction
  • Process enhanced by lifestyle factors
17
Q

The process of ASCVD is enhanced by what lifestyle factors?

A
  • Saturated fats/ trans-fats
  • Obesity
  • Smoking
  • Blood pressure level
18
Q

The following are steps of _______ formation:

  1. Small, dense LDL enters and “sticks” to artery wall
  2. Triggers cascade of events
    • Oxidation of LDL (Pro-inflammatory, thrombotic)
    • Attracts macrophages–> foam cells
    • Endothelial dysfunction
    • Vasoconstriction
A

Plaque formation

19
Q

What does plaque rupture result in?

A
  1. MI in coronaries
  2. TIA or CVA in brain
20

•50% of CVD diagnoses and 15% of CVD deaths are in patients < ___ y/o

23
Q
