Study Notes
Cerebral venous sinuses
- Encased within dura that defines and forms their walls.
Endogenous antithrombotic substances
- Platelet aggregation and thrombus formation generally do not occur on the surface of an intact blood vessel.
- Prostacyclin is an anticoagulant synthesized by endothelial cells.
- Protein C and protein S are synthesized in the endothelial cell.
Atherogenic substances
- Tissue factor
- Interferon gamma
- CD4+ T cells
- Heat shock proteins
Cholesterol
- Member of the steroid family
- Synthesized by the liver and transported in the blood in its original form.
- Detrimental to the function of many cells.
- In cell membranes is the first step in atherogenesis.
Apoproteins and lipoproteins
- Apoproteins are the protein component on the outer surface of lipoproteins.
- Apoproteins are involved in receptor recognition at cell surfaces and in enzyme regulation.
- Lipoprotein (a) or Lp(a), frequently called “L P little a,” is produced in the liver with a combination of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and apoprotein (a).
- Lp(a) elevation is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and is of greater significance in the setting of elevated LDL.
High- and low-density lipoproteins (HDL and LDL)
- HDL transports cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver.
Lipoprotein size
- HDL is the smallest particle.
Lipoprotein roles
- VLDL is the largest and least dense of the lipoproteins.
- Chylomicrons are synthesized in the intestinal cell walls.
- Chylomicrons and VLDL are key in the transport of triglycerides.
Atherosclerosis
- Susceptible areas of the arterial wall will initially demonstrate intimal thickening in young adulthood.
- Lipoprotein retention can lead to inflammatory responses in the 20s.
