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 Apoprotein
Apo B-48, Apo E, Apo CII
and C III, Apo AI and AII
ApoB-48 only in chylomicron
VLDL Major Lipids
Triglycerides,
vit E
VLDL Apoproteins

CII and Apo CIII
IDL Major Lipids
Triglycerides
Vit E
IDL Apoproteins
ApoB-100
Apo-E
Apo-CII
Apo-CIII
LDL Major Lipids
Cholesterol
Vit E
LDL Apoprotein
Apo B-100
HDL Major Lipids
Cholesterol
HDL Apoprotein
Apo B-100 Apo-E Apo CII Apo CIII Apo-Al Apo AII
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
Apolipoproteins transferred to —
Apolipoproteins transferred to HDL
Chylomicron must have — to interact with hepatic LDL receptor
Chylomicron must have Apo E to interact with hepatic LDL receptor
— are generated in the liver and are triglyceride rich
VLDL are generated in the liver and are triglyceride rich
Function of VLDL
esterification of LCFAs
VLDL contain what 4 lipoproteins
Apo B-100
Apo-E
Apo-CII
Apo-CIII
VLDL composition
Triglycerides -, Cholesterol -, -Proteins, - Other Fats
Triglycerides 70%, Cholesterol 10%, 10% Proteins, 10% Other Fats
VLDL Metabolism
Lipoprotein lipase on endothelial cells of capillaries (adipose tissue, heart skeletal
muscle) cleave off free fatty acids into the circulation form remnants
IDL are
equal amounts cholesterol and triglycerides
IDL are endocytosed by
the liver
IDL - hepatic lipases hydrolyze TG and apoB-100 transferred to —
IDL - hepatic lipases hydrolyze TG and apoB-100 transferred to HDL
IDL forms
LDL
the majority of cholesterol in the blood stream is
LDL
LDL apoproteins
B100 and ApoE
LDL has a positive correlation with
atherosclerotic CVD
LDL composition
Cholesterol —, Triglycerides —, Proteins —, Other
fats —
Cholesterol 26%, Triglycerides 10%, Proteins 25%, Other
fats 10%
