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)
End result of the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries that supply the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) with oxygen and nutrients.
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary Artery Disease Risk Factors
Hypercholesterolemia, Smoking, HTN, Diabetes, Type A Personality, Hemostatic Factors, Hereditary Differences in Lipoproteins.
Lipid Type
Sterol Derivative: Cholesterol, Steroid, Bile Acid, Vitamin D.
Lipid Type
Fatty Acid: Short, medium, or long chain. Prostaglandin.
Lipid Type
Glycerol Ester: Tryglyceride, Phosphoglyceride.
Lipid Type
Sphigosine Derivative: Sphigomyelin, Glycosphingolipid.
Lipid Type
Terpene: Vitamin A, E, K.
Cholesterol
Body: 85%, Dietary: 15%.
Cholesterol
Sterol ring: Estrogen, Progesterone, Cortisol, Aldosterone, Testosterone, Vitamin D.
Cholesterol
Precursor to Steroid Hormone.
Cholesterol
Transported by LDL to/into cells.
Cholesterol
Transported by HDL out of cells.
Triglyceride
Glycerol Backbone with 3 Fatty Acid Chains.
Triglyceride
Primary Form of Lipid Storage
Triglyceride
Transported by Chylomicron(exogenous) and VLDL(endogenous).
Lipoprotein
Plasma protein that transports insoluble lipid.
Lipoprotein
Formed in Liver: LDL(60-70%), VLDL(20-35%), HDL(20-35%).
Apolipoprotein
Protein portion of lipoprotein.
Apolipoprotein A.
Major protein of HDL.
Apolipoprotein B.
Major protein of LDL. Minor protein of VLDL and chylomicron.
Apolipoprotein C.
Major protein of VLDL and chlylomicron. Minor protein of HDL and LDL.
Lipid Specimen Collection
12-14 hour fasting time, Serum preferred, No alcohol 48 hours, Normal Diet 7 Days.
Triglyceride Range
Male: 40-160 mg/dl. Female: 35-135 mg/dl.
Increased Tryglyceride
Hyperlipoproteinemia I, IIB, III, IV, AND B. Liver Disease and Alcoholism, Renal Disease, Hypothyroidism, Diabetes, Pancreatitis, Pregnancy, and Oral contraceptive.
Cholesterol Range Adult
Normal: 140-199 mg/dl, Borderline: 200-239 mg/dl, High: >239 mg/dl.
Cholesterol Range Children
