Study Notes
Lipids and Lipoproteins
- Lipids are essential for the body
- Fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol are major lipid classes
- Each lipid class has specific functions and sources
Lipid Metabolism Pathways
- Lipid absorption occurs in the digestive tract
- Exogenous pathway involves the transport of dietary lipids
- Endogenous pathway involves the synthesis and transport of lipids within the body
- Reverse cholesterol transport removes cholesterol from tissues
Lipoproteins
- Lipoproteins transport lipids in the blood
- Chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL are key lipoproteins varying in size, density, lipid content, and associated proteins
- Apolipoproteins (Apo) are proteins associated with lipoproteins
- Apo A-I, Apo B, Apo B-100, Apo B-48, Apo CII, Apo D, and Apo E have specific roles
Lipid Metabolism Factors
- Various factors influence cholesterol levels
- Methodology, specimen type, and potential interfering substances are crucial for accurate lipid measurements
Metabolic Syndrome
- Understanding the criteria and clinical significance of metabolic syndrome is important
- This includes identifying the risk factors
Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation
- The process of atherosclerotic plaque formation should be understood
- This involves various factors and stages
Dyslipidemia
- Definitions of related diseases like: - Xanthoma - Micelle - Plaque - Dyslipidemia - Hyperlipoproteinemia - Hypercholesterolemia - Hypertriglyceridemia - Hypolipoproteinemia - Arteriosclerosis - Combined Hyperlipoproteinemia
Friedewald Formula
- Used to calculate LDL-cholesterol
- Has limitations that should be understood
Non-HDL Cholesterol
- Significance should be understood
