Large lipoprotein in small intestine that transports exogenous(dietary) lipids to adipose tissue to be broken down by lipoprotein lipase.
|
Chylomicron
|
|
Lipoprotein that transports endogenous triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol and cholesteryl esters. It functions as the body's internal transport mechanism for lipids.
|
Very Low Density Lipoprotein(VLDL)
|
|
Lipoprotein that transports cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues. LDL also regulates cholesterol synthesis at these sites.
|
Low Density Lipoprotein(LDL)
|
|
Lipoprotein that carry fatty acids and cholesterol from the body's tissues to the liver.
|
High Density Lipoprotein(HDL)
|
|
Friedewald equation
|
IN MG/DL: LDL = TOTAL CHOLESTEROL - HDL - (0.2 * TRIGLYCERIDES)
