14
Q

Direct and covalent modification to regulate HMG CoA Reductase

A

Direct : FFA, bile, oxysterol, statin
Covalent Modification : Phospholylation = inactivates, dephosphorylated = activated
* low energy = high AMP —> AMPK activated = phosphorylates it

Q

What can increase translation of HMG CoA Reductase

A

VIT E

17
Q

HMG CoA Reductase TF and gene

A

SREBP (binds to SRE on promoter)

  • low cholesterol or on statin use : protease (SCAP) cuts of SREBP and it goes to Golgi —> Nucleus to activate SER on promoter
  • high cholesterol : INSIG keeps SREBP-SRE in ER
18
Q

Lipoproteins function

A

Transport cholesterol, fat, VIT

  1. Deliver TAGs from liver + GI to tissues
  2. Deliver Cholesterol to liver for excretion
  3. Activate enzymes for lipid metabolism
19
Q

5 times fo Lipoproteins

A
Chylomicrons (biggest + lowest density)
LDL
HDL (smallest + highest density)
IDL
VLDL (second largest)
20
Q

Chylomicrons vs HDL

A

Chylomicrons have a lot of TAGs

HDL has a lot of protein

21
Q

Where are chylomicrons made

And composition

A

In intestinal cells
(From fat we eat)
Largest, lowest density,, highest TAGs
* has ApoB-48 : protein to help transport it
*ApoE : uptake to liver
*ApoC : activates capillary lipoprotein lipase to break it

22
Q

Where are VLDL made

And composition

A

In liver
ApoC : activate capillary lipoprotein lipase
ApoE : uptake to liver
ApoB-100 : uptake into cells

23
Q

IDL and LDL composition

A

IDL : ApoB-100 + ApoE

LDL : ApoB-100

24
Q

LDL has high

A

Cholesterol

25
Q

HDL composition

A

Smallest, most dense, high protein + phospholipids
ApoC
ApoE
ApoA- 1 : activates enzyme to esterify cholesterol

26
Q

Chylomicron Processing

A
  1. Made in SI + package dietary fats
  2. Go into lymph and BV : Nascent Chylomicron (ApoB-48)
  3. Mature Chylomicron : ApoB-48 +ApoE + ApoC
  4. ApoC is released and = Chylomicron remanent —> goes into liver*
27
Q

Hyperlipoproteinemia Type 1 (familial hyperchylomicronemia)

A

X ApoC (adolescent) OR lipoprotein lipase(primary, in infancy) : no capillary lipoprotein lipase made to get fats into blood or tissues for exchange from the Chylomicron
Sx: Xanthomas
TX : low fat diet

28
Q

Hyperlipoproteinemia Type 2

A

X ApoB-100 recognition : no uptake of fats
X LDL receptor *
Sx: dies form CAD (if homozygous) , Xanthomas

29
Q

VLDL processing

A
  1. Made in liver and release into Blood stream (ApoB-100,ApoE, ApoC)
  2. Capillary LPL hydrolysis of glycerol to FFAs
  3. ApoC released = IDL *
30
Q

IDL fate

A
  1. IDL can enter liver to release FFA in liver or stay in blood
  2. IDL looses a lot of TAGs in liver and other tissues and looses ApoE = LDL*
31
Q

LDL fate

A
  1. LDL delivers cholesterol to liver and other tissues with ApoB-100 binding to LDL receptor (brings cholesterol into cells)
    * if too much it stays in BV and makes plaques
32
Q

LDL is taken up to tissues by

A

Receptor- mediated Endocytosis
ApoB-100 binding to LDL receptors
LDL degraded by lysosome —> Cholesterol

33
Q

Familial hypercholesterolemia

A

LDL receptors are unable to release the LDL bound to them

Mutated LDL receptors

34
Q

HDL processing

A
  1. Made in SI and liver as nascent HDL released in blood
  2. They pick up cholesterol from tissues (ApoA-1)
  3. LCAT : esterify cholesterol inside = mature HDL *
35
Q

Other functions of HDL

A
  1. Provide Chylomicron with ApoE and ApoC * (Chylomicron maturation)
  2. Exchanges TAGS, cholesterol, cholesterol esters with LDL, IDL, VLDL
    * takes all esterified cholesterols to liver for excretion
  3. Antioxidant, higher by exercise and weight loss, anti-diabetic
36
Q

ABCA1
Function
Loss of it causes

A
Transport protein that ApoA-1 binds to (of HDL) and transports LDL
Tangier Disease (HDL deficiency and high cholesterol)
37
Q

What happens with excess LDL

A

Oxidized to oxLDL which is deposited in the BVs

= injury = inflammatory response = macrophages become foam cells = platelet adhesion + SM recruited = bigger plaque
