Test 1: Wk1: 2 Lipoproteins - Valentovic Flashcards
hyperlipidemia
high levels of cholesterol and or triglycerides
Dyslipidemia
abnormal levels of cholesterol and or triglycerides (usually too high) and HDL levels are too low
Elevated Cholesterol associated with
increased atherosclerotic CVD
Elevated triglycerides associated with
pancreatitis
how are cholesterol and triglycerides transported
they are hydrophobic so must be transported by lipoproteins
lipoproteins
Lipoproteins have a hydrophilic outside layer with proteins,
phospholipids and unesterified cholesterol surrounding the
hydrophobic/lipophilic core of triglycerides and cholesterol esters
Lipoproteins transport
Lipoproteins transport fat soluble vitamins, cholesterol and
triglycerides in plasma, lymph as well as liver and peripheral tissues
3 Functions of Lipoproteins
- Involved in absorption and transport of dietary lipids from small
intestine - Transport lipids from the liver to peripheral tissues
- Transport lipids from peripheral tissue to liver and small intestine
5 Major lipoproteins
Chylomicrons
VLDL very low density lipoprotein
IDL intermediate density
LDL low density
HDL high density
Triglyceride mostly carried by — and —
Triglyceride mostly carried by chylomicrons and VLDL
Cholesterol mostly carried in — and —- as cholesterol
—
Cholesterol mostly carried in LDL and HDL as cholesterol
esters
Chylomicron Major Lipids
Triglycerides,
Retinyl esters

Chylomicron formation
Dietary Cholesterol, retinol are esterified, long chain (12 carbon) fatty
acids are incorporated into triglycerides and packaged with Apo B 48,
phospholipids to form chylomicrons
Chylomicrons secreted into — — and enter — —
Chylomicrons secreted into intestinal lymph and enter systemic
circulation
— — on — — of capillaries cleave off FFAs into circulation
Lipoprotein Lipase on endothelial cells of capillaries cleave off FFAs into circulation
