|
present in VLDL, LDL, IDL, and HDL
ligand for LDL-R for plasma clearance |
|
only apoprotein of LDL
|
apoB-100
|
|

|
in CMs, VLDL, IDL, and HDL
ligand of LDL-R and LDL-R-related protein for plasma clearance |
|
flow of cholesterol
|
diet --> CM --> liver --> VLDL --> IDL --> LDL --> peripheral tissues
|
|
LPL
|
degradation of TG circulating in CMs and VLDLs
|
|
LCAT
|
catalyzes esterification of cholesterol
|
|
CETP
|
mediates transfer of cholesterol esters to other lipoprotein particles
|
|
total cholesterol levels

|
7alpha-hydroxylase
|
intrahepatic conversion of cholesterol to bile acids
|
|
statins
|
competitive inhibitors of HMG-CoA-reductase
|
|
Statin catabolism
|
CYP450 3A4- atorvastatin, lovastatin, and simvastatin
CYP2C9- fluvastatin and rosuvastatin |
|
statin MOA
|
reduce LDL, VLDL, and IDL
|
|
statin SEs
|
hepatotoxicity
myopathy |
|

|
gemfibrozil inhibits hepatic uptake
CYP inhibitors and inducers |
|
bile acid-binding resins
|
colestipol
cholestyramine colesevelam |
|
resin MOA
|
sequester bile acids from reabsorption, increase LDL-R
|
|
Resin SEs
|
bloating, constipation, heartburn, and diarrhea
|
|
resin interactions
|
prevents absportion of certain drugs
|
