Q

What are the major stages of the atherosclerosis progression?

A
  • Endothelial dysfunction
  • Formation of lipid bilayer within the intima
  • Monocytes and smooth muscle cells migrate into the vessel wall and form macrophages
  • Cell formation
  • Degradation of the extracellular matrix as plague is formed and displaced.

17
Q

What is familial hypercholesterolemia?

A

Absence of excessive cholesterol collect in many tissues as LDL becomes oxidised

18
Q

What is oxidised LDL ingested by?

A

macrophages

19
Q

What do macrophages in FH form?

A

Foam cells- become trapped in blood vessels

20
Q

What do foam cells lead to?

A

atherosclerosis

21
Q

What is Hepatic lipase deficiency?

A

Affects the body’s ability to break down fat lipids.

22
Q

What does Hepatic lipase deficiency lead to?

A
  • Decreased secretion of hepatic lipase
  • Change in lipoprotein quantity
23
Q

What is the mutation for the Hepatic lipase deficiency

A

LIPC gene – recessive hepatic lipase mutations.

24
Q

what is lysosomal acid lipase deficiency?

A

it is when they is a build of harmful amounts of fats that is accumulated in the cells and tissues.

25
Q

what is the mutation of lysosome acid lipase deficiency?

A

LIPA- gene mutation

26
Q

what happens in severe lysosomal acid lipase deficiency?

A

it is rare

the liver and spleen is enlarged

they is fatty stools and jaundice.

27
Q

what does gut bacteria convert?

A

excessive dietary choline into trimethyamine.

28
Q

what does liver convert?

A

trimethylamine to trimethylamine N- oxide

29
Q

what does high trimethylamine N-oxide do?

A

decreases bile synthesis

occurs in antherosclerosis

30
Q

what does HDL help protect against?

A

atheroschlerosis

31
Q

what does HDL do to protect body against atherosclerosis?

A
  1. removes the cholesterol from the macrophages
  2. after it is removed the cholesterol is then returned to the liver and it generates bile salts or exercetion occurs.
32
Q

what does the blockage of cholesterol transferred to HDL lead to?

A

premature atherosclerosis

33
Q

where is lipoprotein lipase mutation found in?

A

capillaries of muscles and adipose

34
Q

what are the symptoms of familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency?

A
  1. abdominal pain due to inflammation of pancrease
  2. enlarged spleen and liver
  3. develops half of fat deposit under the skin
  4. half fat is content in the blood
  5. depression, memory loss and mild dementia
35
Q

what are the treatments associated with familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency?

A

can be managed by low fat diet

36
Q

what does Niacin do?

A
  1. binds niacin receptors
  2. reduces fatty acids that is released from adipose
  3. inhibits HDL uptake by liver
37
Q

what does ultimately do?

A
  1. raises HDL - good cholesterol
  2. Lowe LDL- bad cholesterol
  3. lowers triglycerides
38
Q

what does LDL receptors do?

A

increases LDL uptake from the blood as it increases cholesterol clearance.

39
Q

what does the LDL receptors increase via?

A

decreasing cholesterol precursors

40
Q

what don increases LDL receptors do?

A
  1. inhibits bile salt reabsorption
  2. inhibits HMG CoA reductase
41
Q

what do PCSK9 target?

A
