Cards

Term
B48
Definition
consists of lipoprotein CM and carriers cholesterol esters
Term
B100
Definition
consists of lipoproteins, LDL,VLDL, and IDL and binds LDL receptor
Term
C-II
Definition
contains all the lipoproteins and activates LPL
Term
C-III
Definition
contains all the lipoproteins and inhibits LPL
Term
E
Definition
consists of lipoprotein CM remenants, VLDL, IDL, and binds to remnant receptor
Term
A-1
Definition
consists of the lipoproteins CM and HDL, and activates L-Cat
Term
E2
Definition
binds poorly to receptors homozygous poor clearance of chylomicron remnants and IDL Type III Hyperlipoproteinemia
Term
E4
Definition
associated with increased susceptibility to late onset Alzheimer’s disease
Term
chylomicrons
Definition
Assembled in intestinal mucosal cells
Surface Monolayer
Phospholipids (5%), Free Cholesterol (1%), Protein (1%)
Hydrophobic Core
Triglyceride (93%), Cholesteryl Esters (1%)
Term
B48
Definition
the structural protein of the chylomicron contains the majority of cholesterol (as cholesteryl ester)
Term
C-II
Definition
activates lipoprotein lipase which catalyses the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols
Term
Heparan Sulfate
Definition
chylomicrons consist of lipoprotein lipase
Extra cellular enzyme
Anchored by _____ _____ to capillary walls ( predominantly of adipose tissue and cardiac and skeletal muscles)
Activated by apo CII
Term
Insulin
Definition
the Synthesis of chylomicrons and transfer to luminall surface of capillary is stimulated by _____
Term
adipose LPL
Definition
which has the higher km; muscle LPL or adipose LPL
Term
chylomicron remnant
Definition
CM loses TG CII  LPL activity will no longer be supported. It is ow called a ___ ____ and is destined for the liver
Term
VLDL
Definition
Circulating concentrations of ___ triacylglycerol increase after a carbohydrate rich meal
Term
HDL
Definition
ApoC’s and ApoE are acquired from ___in circulation
Term
CEPT
Definition
TAG’s transferred to HDL
In exchange for cholesteryl esters
Mediated by _____
Converted to VLDL remnant (IDL)
Then to LDL
Term
LDL
Definition
Primary function  transport cholesterol to peripheral tissues
Returns to liver
By binding to LDL receptors apoB100/apoE receptors
Term
Clathrin-coated-pits
Definition
LDL are taken up by the LDL Receptor into __ ___ ___
Term
LDL
Definition
Increase in free cholesterol decrease cholesterol synthesis and uptake & increase cholesterol esterification
Inhibition of HMG CoA Reductase
Inhibition of synthesis of new LDL receptors
Esterification by Acyl CoA:Cholesterol acyl transferase
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
where is the highest concentration of lipoprotein lipase?
Term
Type II familial hypercholesterolemia
Definition
LDL deficiency is characterized by what disease
Term
HMG CoA reductase
Definition
this enzyme is inhibited by high cholesterol
Term
SR-A
Definition
these types of receptors can bind a broad range of ligands and mediate the endocytosis of chemically modified LDL in whith the lipid components or apoB have been oxidized
Term
Foam cells
Definition
these cells accumulate, releasing growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the migration of smooth muscle cells from the media to the intima. There, they proliferate, produce collagen and take up lipid.
Term
HDL
Definition
Smallest of the lipoproteins
Synthesized by intestine and liver as nascent cholesterol-poor lipoprotein
Accumulates cholesterol and cholesteryl esters through interactions with peripheral cells and other lipoproteins
Participates in reverse cholesterol transport, removal of excess cholesterol from peripheral cells and delivery to the liver for metabolism; Serve as circulating reservoir of apoCII and apoE
Term
discoidal
Definition
HDL is secreted in a ____ form from the liver and intestine
Term
LCAT
Definition
This provides mediated esterification of cholesterol generates spherical particles that continue to grow on ongoing cholesterol esterification HDL2
Term
reverse cholesterol transport
Definition
Transport of cholesterol from tissues to HDL and from HDL to Liver
Mediated by Scavenger receptor class B( SR-BI)
Term
HDL
Definition
this inhibit the oxidative modification of LDL, the
Inhibition of adhesion molecules, and the formation of foam cells
Term
Atherogenic lipoprotein
Definition
Consist of LDL and a protein designated as (a)
Apo(a) is covalently linked to apoB-100 by a disulfide linkage
Highly homologous to Plasminogen
High risk association with premature coronary artery disease and stroke
Elevated levels of this may slow the break down of clots that trigger MI
