Q

What is the function of a chylomicron remnant?

A

Q

Where are LDLs formed?

A

Formed via processing of IDL in the circulation

17
Q

What is the main lipid in LDL?

A

Cholesterol

18
Q

What is the main apoprotein in LDL?

A

B-100

19
Q

What is the function of LDL?

A

Delivers cholesterol to the liver and other cells

20
Q

Where is HDL formed?

A

The liver, although some is formed in the intestine

21
Q

What is the main lipid in HDL?

A

Cholesterol

22
Q

What is the main apoprotein of HDL?

A

A

23
Q

What is the function of HDL?

A

Transport of CE to the liver

HDL accepts cholesterol from peripheral cells, esterifies it, and transports it to the liver. It exchanges CE for TAG in VLDL, IDL and chylomicron remnants.

It is atheroprotective via enzymes such as paroxonase that inhibit LDL oxidation.

It serves as a reservoir for circulating apoproteins (ACE) which are transported to other lipoprotein particles.

24
Q

What is the major difference between chylomicrons and VLDL, IDL and LDL?

A

Chylomicrons transport dietary (exogenous) lipids

VLDL, IDL and LDL transport synthesized (endogenous) lipids

25
Q

Apo-CII activates which enzyme?

A

lipoprotein lipase

26
Q

Apo-AI activates which enzyme?

A

lecithin:cholesterol acetyltransferase (LCAT)

27
Q

Apo E is the ligand for what receptor?

A

Remnant receptor

28
Q

Apo B-100 is the ligand for what receptor?

A

LDL receptor

29
Q

Apo A-1 is the ligand for what receptor?

A

HDL receptor

30
Q

B-48 is the structural protein for which apolipoproteins?

A

chylomicrons

31
Q

B-100 is the structural protein for which apolipoproteins?

A

VLDL and LDL

32
Q

A-1 is the structural protein for which apolipoprotein?

A

HDL

33
Q

WHat is a normal total cholesterol level?

A
34
Q

What is the optimal total cholesterol: HDL ratio?

A

3.3:1
