classification of lipoproteins
chylomicrons: from intestine to deliver dietary TG and cholesterol, B-48
VLDL: from liver to tissue carrying cholesterol and TG, B-100
LDL: from VLDL, carrying cholesterol to tissue and liver
HDL: from intestine, liver and VLDL, apo A-1, storing of apo E and C-II for maturation of chylomicron and VLDL, it carries excess cholesterol back to liver
protective nature of HDL
it competes with VLDL to be taken up by tissue
remove cholesterol and slow down the cholesterol deposit

receive surface components from chylomicrons as an indicator of the efficiency of handling ingested fat
different apoprotein
apoprotein on the surface of lipoprotein to increase the water affinity

special functions
apo A-II and apo C-III : inhibit LPL lipoprotein lipase
Apo C-II stimulate LPL

ligands for receptor:
apo B-100 and apo E

VLDL: B-100
chylomicron: B-48
lipoprotein lipase
site
action
requirements
site: endothelial wall in muscles and adipose tissue
action: break down the TG and chylomicrons to glycerol and FA
promote uptake of chylomicron remnants, and chol.-rich lipoprotein & FFA
need cofactor C-II
hepatic lipase
site
substrate
actions 3
site: liver
substrate: TG and phospholipid of small VLDL, IDL and large HDL

1. HDL2 to HDL 3
2. IDL to LDL
final metabolism of chylomicrons remnants
Cholesterylester transfer protein
actions 2
transfer TG from VLDL/LDL to HDL
transfer cholestrylester from HLD to VLDL/LDL

exchange: TG and cholesterylester
Familial Hypercholesterolemia
genetic inheritance trend
disease predisposed
presentation
autosomal dominant
MI early age (heterozygotes also has higher risk)
xanthoma in tendon
hyperlipidemia
can include three diseases
hyperlipoproteinemia
hypercholesterolemia
Hypertriglyceridemia
Hypertriglyceridemia
diagnosis requirement
two types which two? and their causes
TG > 250 mg/dl

familial combined hyperlipidemia
- overproduction of apo B -> high level of VLDL

familial hypertriglyceridemia
- overporduction of VLDL / defective lipolysis of VLDL
Abetalipoproteinemia
disease pathology
presentation

treatment
defect in apo B production
low lvl of lipid, chol, TG

symptoms
Psychomotor retardation -
multiple nutrional deficiencies -
multiple neuromuscular consequences -
abnormal RBC -

Treatment: massive dose of vit. E
familial hypercholesterolemia
pathophysiology
pathophysiology of familial hypercholesterolemia
NOT in the control of HMG-coA regulation of synthesis of cholesterol/break down of LDL
defect in the transporting regulatory signal
decrease in LDL receptor -> decrease in breakdown of LDL -> increase of cholesterol in blood
cholesterol synthesis steps
acetyl coA to acetoacetyl coA (thiolase)
to HMG coA
...
lanosterol
cholesterol
cholesterol regulation 4
1. embed into the cell mem
2. stimulate ACAT for turning cholesterol to chol. ester
3. decrease the synthesis of LDL
4. decrease the action of HMG coA -> decrease synthesis of cholesterol
how cholesterol is taken up from LDL
LDL receptor (need apo B-100) on the cell membrane
lysome -> lysoendosome
digested and release of free cholesterol
LDL receptor structures 4 domains
from outer to inner
N-oligosarrcharide domain
O-oligosarrcharide domain
transmembrane domain
Cytoplamsic domain = receptors prior to clathrin-coated vesicle
molecular defects in synthesis of LDL receptors 4
receptor -ve : few or no receptor
receptor +ve : receptor cant bind to LDL
deficient receptor : receptor is unable to travel from synthesize site to the membrane
cytoplasmic carboxyl terminus (domain) defect: unable to internalize LDL-LDL receptor complex
name the lipid lowering drugs
1. BIle acid binding resins
2. HMG CoA reductase inhibitor
3. intestinal sterol absorption inhibitor
4. fibric acid derivatives
5. nicotinic acid
HMG CoA reductase inhibitor
name the example
functions
adverse side effects
statin: atorvastatin, fluvastatin

fx:
1. decrease the syn of chol,
2. increase LDL receptors in liver
result in decrease in chol, LDL, TG and increase in HDL

adverse side effects
1. liver damage
2. myopathy
3. rhabdomyolysis
fibric acid derivatives
name examples
functions
adverse side effects
fenofibrate, bezafibrate
fx:
1. increase the syn of FA oxidation in liver
2. increase PPAR-alpha, increase LPL transcription
3. increase prod. of HDL
decrease in VLDL, decrease in TG, increase in HDL,
rise or lower LDL level

adverse side effects: myopathy and liver damage
cannot be used with statin
bile acid binding resin
examples
functions
adverse side effects
cholestyramine, colestipol
fx:
bind to the bile acid
increase chol usage for bile acid production
decrease reabsorption of bile acid

adverse side effects:
dyspepsia, constipation, bile acid malabsorption diarrhoea, poor compliance

not used with ezetimibe
intestinal sterol absorption inhibitors
examples
functions
adverse side effects
ezetimibe
fx
decrease the absorption of sterol: chol and phytosterol
usu, used with statin, not used with bile acid binding resin
low toxicity
nicotinic acid
vit B3
functions
adverse side effects
increase the activity of LPL
decrease TG production in liver
decrease act. of hormone-sensitive lipase -> decrease clearance of apo A-1 -> increase HDL

result favor all hyperlipidemia

adverse side effects:
liver damage
nausea
flushing
