Question
Answer
Lauric   12:0 medium-chain fatty acids absorbed directly into bloodstream found in palm & coconut oil raise serum cholesterol levels  
🗑
Myristic   14:0  
🗑
Palmitic   16:0 saturated fatty acid found in meats & dairy raises serum cholesterol levels  
🗑
Stearic   18:0 saturated fatty acid also found in meats neutral or cholesterol lowering effect  
🗑
Oleic   18:1 omega 9 monounsaturated fatty acid found in olive & peanut oils lowers cholesterol without lowering HDL part of “Mediteranian Diet”  
🗑
Linoleic   18:2 omega 6 essential polyunsaturated fatty acid an w6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils lowers serum cholesterol  
🗑
Linolenic   18:3 omega 3 essential polyunsaturated fatty acid an w3 fatty acid also found in vegetable oils lowers serum cholesterol  
🗑
Arachidonic   20:4 omega 6 w6 polyunsaturated fatty acid made from linoleic acid precursor to w6 eicosanoids  
🗑
Eicosopentanoic (EPA)   20:5 omega 3 w3 polyunsaturated fatty acids made from linolenic acid (inefficiently) found in cold water fish & canola oil precursors to w3 eicosanoids may decrease heart disease risk (see CC) anti-inflammatory DHA important for early  
🗑
Docosahexanoic (DHA)   22:6 omega 3 w3 polyunsaturated fatty acids made from linolenic acid (inefficiently) found in cold water fish & canola oil precursors to w3 eicosanoids may decrease heart disease risk (see CC) anti-inflammatory DHA important for early  
🗑
Apo A   activates LCAT involved in HDL binding to tissues  
🗑
Apo C   activates lipoprotein lipase  
🗑
Apo E   involved in binding of chylomicron and VLDL remnants and HDL to the liver AFTER removal of most TG  
🗑
Apo B100   involved in LDL binding to LDL receptor, also works with apo E in binding of IDL to LDL receptors  
🗑
apos for Chylomicron   B48, E, A, C  
🗑
apos for VLDL   B100, E, C  
🗑
apos for LDL   B100  
🗑
apos for HDL   A, C, E  
🗑
lipoprotein lipase   in adipose + striated muscle, hydrolyzes TG and PL from chylomicrons and large VLDL insulin increase activity  
🗑
hepatic lipase   Liver, hydrolyzes TG and PL of small VLDL, IDL, and large HDL insulin independant activity  
🗑
Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT)   Liver, esterifies cholesterol in HDL  
🗑
Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CEPT)   liver, spleen, adipose, and intestine, transfers CE from HDL to VLDL and LDL  
🗑
chylomicron and VLDL   very low density lipoproteins w/ high concentrations of TG in core  
🗑
LDL and HDL   more dense lipoproteins, high concentration of CE in core  
🗑
