Q

HDL: main lipid(s)?

A

Cholesterol

17
Q

HDL: apoproteins?

A

A’s, (C, E)

18
Q

HDL: function(s)?

A
  • Accepts cholesterol from peripheral cells, esterifies it, and transports the CEs to the liver
  • Exchanges CE for TAG in VLDL, IDL, and chylomicron remnants
  • Atheroprotective via enzymes such as paraoxonase that inhibit LDL oxidation
  • Serves as a reservoir for circulating apoproteins (A, C, E), which are transported to other lipoprotein particles
19
Q

Apoprotein B-48: Major LP?

A

Chylomicron

20
Q

Apoprotein B-48: Function(s)?

A

Chylomicron secretion (structural)

21
Q

Apoprotein B-100: Major LP?

A

VLDL, IDL, LDL

22
Q

Apoprotein B-100: Function(s)?

A
  • VLDL and LDL secretion (structural)

- Binds LDL receptor (found on hepatic and non-hepatic tissue)

23
Q

Apoprotein A-1: Major LP?

A

HDL

24
Q

Apoprotein A-1: Function(s)?

A
  • Cofactor for LCAT activation (lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase)
  • Binds HDL receptor
25
Q

Apoprotein C-II: Major LP?

A

Chylomicron, VLDL, IDL, HDL

26
Q

Apoprotein C-II: Function(s)?

A
  • Cofactor for lipoprotein lipase activation
27
Q

Apoprotein E: Major LP?

A

Chylomicron, VLDL, IDL, HDL

28
Q

Apoprotein E: Function(s)?

A
  • Clearance via binding to LRP (LDL receptor related protein)
    (- binds remnant receptor)
29

34
Q

An optimal lipid ratio is:

give details

A

200 (total) / 60 (HDL) = 3.3 : 1
