Lipoprotein Metabolism Flashcards
Why do we need lipoproteins
They solubilize and move nonpolar liquid through the blood, lymph, and CSF
Major core lipid of each class
Triglycerides - VLDL and chylomicrons
Cholesterol- others
Major apolipoproteins of each class
Chylo - ApoB48
VLDL - ApoB48
IDL and LDL - ApoB100
HDL - ApoA1
Screen for lipoprotein measutres
Totoal C
HDL
TGs
LDL cholesterol
LDL=Total-(HDL+Tg/5_
Underestimates if TG over 400 or normal LDL and hypertriglyceridemia
Lipoprotein ultracentrifugation
ApoB ELISA
NMR lipoprotein analysis
Direct VLDL-C and LDL-C
Info on Chylo, VLDL and LDL
Data on size and numebr of all
Lipid absorption
Emulsification
Hydrolysis of TGs to FA and MG
SOlubilizatioi of FA, MG< FC by bile salts
Transport of FA, MG, and FC into enterocytes and incorporation into lipoprptiens
Peripheral cap endothlium and chylomicrons
Will hydrolyze the apolipoprotein into FA (CD26) and leave a remnant
What do you need for hepatic binding and uptake of chylomicron remnants
ApoE
LDL synthesis and secretion in the level
ApoB100 becomes precursore lipoiprotein via MTP1…this then collects lipid droplets and becomes VLDL
Production and clearance ofVLDL
Produced by liver…can become remnant….remnant can become LDL or HDL (via CETP)
LDL or VLDL remnant back to liver
Hepatic binding and uptake of VLDL remnantns
Facilitated by ApoB100 or ApoE
Hypertriglyceridemia
150-10000
Insulin resistance, CKD< alcohol overuse and pregnancy also cause
How does ApoC3 induce hypertriglyceridemia
Inhibits LPL on endothelium so cannot cleave TG into lipoprotein
Disrupts clearance of TLRs by LDL family receptors
Severe hypertriglyceridemia sx
Eruptive xanthoma - lipid rich skin lesions
Liemic plasma (over 1000)
Lipemia retinalis - creamy appearance of retinal blood vessels
Hepatosplenomegaly
Pancreatitis
