139
Q

What is important for reverse cholesterol transport pathway?

A

HDL

140
Q

-Densities of lipoproteins from ultracentrifugation of the serum
-Density unit is expressed as a Sf

A

Flotation units: Svedberg units?

141
Q

Low density =_________ Sf units = float (lighter, more lipid)

High density = ________ Sf units = sink (heavier, more protein)

A

higher, low

142
Q

What are the Lipoprotein Transport Pathways?

A

-exogenous pathway
-endogenous pathway
-reverse cholesterol pathway

143
Q

Lipoprotein Transport Pathway:

transports dietary lipids via chylomicrons from the small intestine to the liver

A

Exogenous pathway

144
Q

Lipoprotein Transport Pathway:

transports hepatic lipids via VLDL and LDL to the peripheral tissues

A

Endogenous pathway

145
Q

Lipoprotein Transport Pathway:

transports cholesterol via HDL from peripheral tissues back to the liver
for excretion or reuse

A

Reverse cholesterol pathway

146
Q

***What are the reverse cholesterol pathway steps?

A
  1. HDL (empty) produced in mainly the liver
  2. In the intestine, HDL binds free cholesterol from peripheral cells (macrophages)
  3. Cholesterol esterified by LCAT
  4. Cholesterol ester delivered to liver (for eventual excretion), several mechanisms
147
Q

Step #4 of reverse cholesterol pathway, what are the several mechanisms that cholesterol ester delivered to liver?

A

✓ Direct uptake of HDL by liver via apo A
✓ Apo E-containing HDL binds LDL receptor or remnant receptor
✓ HDL exchanges cholesteryl ester to VLDL/LDL for TG

-CETP: cholesteryl ester transfer protein

148
Q

HDL assembly is from __________ and ____________ sources.

A

cellular, intravascular

149
Q

HDL from largest to smallest

A

2B, 2A, 3A, 3B, A-1

150
Q

What is the importance of lipoprotein receptors?***

A

-Necessary for delivering lipoproteins to cells
-Necessary for efficient removal of potentially atherogenic
lipoproteins from the blood and peripheral tissues

151
Q

Lipoprotein Receptors:

APO B-100 and APO E
▪ Cell binding
▪ Uptake and degradation of LDL
▪ Synthesis inhibited by high cholesterol level
▪ Defective receptors stimulates intracellular cholesterol synthesis

A

LDL Receptors

152
Q

Familial hypercholesterolemia :
_____ % of LDL receptor defective

A

50

153
Q

Lipoprotein Receptors:

-APO E
-Clearance of chylomicron and β-VLDL remnants from blood circulation

A

Remnant Receptors

154
Q

Lipoprotein Receptors:

Surface of macrophage and muscle cells
▪ Mediate removal of modified LDL from blood circulation
▪ Macrophage with high cholesterol accumulation: Foam cells

A

Scavenger Receptors

155
Q

Understand that excess citrate goes to _____________ synthesis.

A

fatty acid

156
Q

What is the #1 cause for disability and #4 for death?

A

stroke

-CV disease is the leading cause of death in western
population
* Lipids deposit in vessels over time cause an
occlusion
* An increase in fats from either dietary intake or an
increase in endogenous production may result in
arterial plaque formation

157
Q

What is the process that leads to occlusion?

A

Macrophage –> Foam Cells —> Fatty Streaks (previously damaged areas) –> Future injury —> More damage —>Plague formation—> Narrow vessel lumen —> Occlusion

158
Q

What is in a lipid profile?

A

(1)Total and HDL cholesterol, with measured or calculated LDL cholesterol; (2)
Triglyceride determination; (3) lipoprotein electrophoresis

159
Q

What is the relationship between HDL cholesterol and coronary risk?

A

inverse relationship

160
Q

How do you calculate LDL/HDL Cholesterol Risk Ratio?***

A

✓ VLDL= TG/5
✓ LDL = total cholesterol-VLDL-HDL

LDL/HDL***

161
Q

When can the LDL/HDL risk ratio not be used? ***

A

-chylomicrons are present
-serum triglyceride is greater than 400 mg/dl

162
Q

average:
twice average:
three times average:

A

One-half average: 1.00
average: 3.55

average:
twice average:
three times average:

A

One-half average: 1.47
average: 3.22

A

Glycerol
