Q

What is the role of:

Cholesterol

A

Needed to maintain cell membrane integrity

Needed to synthesize bile acid, steroids, and vitamin D

17
Q

What is the role of:

Chylomicrons

A

Delivers dietary TGs to peripheral tissues

Delivers cholesterol to liver in the form of chylomicron remnants, which are mostly depleted of their TGs

(Secreted by intestinal epithelial cells)

18
Q

What is the role of:

VLDL

A

Delivers hepatic TGs to peripheral tissue

Secreted by liver

19
Q

What is the role of:

IDL

A

Formed in the degradation of VLDL

Delivers TGs and cholesterol to liver

20
Q

What is the role of:

LDL

A

Delivers hepatic cholesterol to peripheral tissues

Formed by hepatic lipase modification of IDL in the liver and peripheral tissue

Taken up by target cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis

21
Q

What is the role of:

HDL

A

Mediates reverse cholesterol transport from periphery to liver

Acts as a repository for apolipoproteins C and E (which are needed for chylomicron and VLDL metabolism)

Alcohol Increases its synthesis

(Secreted from both liver and intestine)
