Question
Answer
Fredrickson phenotype I   Serum conc of chylomicrons elevated; trigs are elevated to >99th percentile  
🗑
Fredrickson phenotype IIa   Serum LDL chol elevated; the total chol is >90th percentile. Triglyceride and/or apolipoprotein B may also be ≥ 90th percentile  
🗑
Fredrickson phenotype IIb   Serum LDL & VLDL elevated; TC and/or trigs may be ≥ 90th percentile and apolipoprotein B ≥ 90th percentile  
🗑
Increased Apo A-I prodn has what effect in animals?   Anti-atherogenic (reduced atherosclerosis progression; regression of existing dz)  
🗑
Mechanisms by which oxidized LDL causes atherogenesis   Endothelial damage; changes in vasc tone; Monocyte/ macrophage recruitment; increased LDL uptake by macrophages (foam cell formation); Induction of GF; Increased plt aggregation; Formation of auto-Abs to oxidized LDL  
🗑
HDL antiatherogenic properties include:   Reverse chol transport; antioxidation; protection vs thrombosis; maintenance of endothelial fn; maintenance of low blood viscosity thru permissive action on red cell deformability  
🗑
Process whereby excess cholesterol in cells and in atherosclerotic plaques is removed   Reverse cholesterol transport  
🗑
Fredrickson phenotype III   Serum VLDL remnants & chylomicrons elevated; TC & trigs >90th percentile  
🗑
Fredrickson phenotype IV   Serum VLDL elevated; TC may be >90th percentile & may also see trigs >90th percentile or low HDL  
🗑
Fredrickson phenotype V   Elevated serum chylomicrons & VLDL; triglycerides >99th percentile  
🗑
Hypertriglyceridemia & CHD: Assoc disorders   Accumulation of chylomicron remnants & VLDL remnants; generation of small, dense LDL-C; assoc w/ low HDL-C; increased coagulability (inc plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1); inc factor VIIc; activation of prothrombin to thrombin  
🗑
Lipids carried by LPs for:   energy utilization; lipid deposition; steroid hormone prodn; bile acid formation  
🗑
Lipoprotein consists of:   esterified & unesterified chol, trigs, phospholipids, & protein  
🗑
Protein components of the lipoprotein =   apolipoproteins or apoproteins.  
🗑
Apolipoproteins =   cofactors for enzymes and ligands for receptors  
🗑
Defects in apolipoprotein metabolism lead to:   abnormalities in lipid handling  
🗑
Very large particles that carry dietary lipid =   chylomicrons  
🗑
Chylomicrons are assoc with:   Apolipoproteins (including A-I, A-II, A-IV, B-48, C-I, C-II, C-III, and E)  
🗑
LDL carries:   cholesterol esters  
🗑
LDL assoc with [which protein]:   apolipoprotein B-100.  
🗑
HDL carries:   cholesterol esters  
🗑
HDL is associated with [proteins]:   apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, C-I, C-II, C-III, D, and E  
🗑
One mechanism by which LDL promotes atherosclerosis   oxidative modification  
🗑
VLDL carries:   endogenous trigs (& to a lesser degree chol)  
🗑
Major apolipoproteins assoc with VLDL:   B-100, C-I, C-II, C-III, and E  
🗑
Intermediate density lipoprotein (IDL) carries:   chol esters & triglycerides  
🗑
IDLs are assoc with [proteins]:   apolipoproteins B-100, C-III, and E  
🗑
Function of CETP   transfers oxidized lipids from LDL to HDL  
🗑
The oxidized lipids in HDL are reduced by:   HDL apolipoproteins  
🗑
What does the liver do with reduced lipids?   Liver takes up reduced lipids from HDL more rapidly than from LDL  
🗑
Hypoalphalipoproteinemia =   Low serum HDL; assoc w/ increased risk of overt CHD  
🗑
Strategies for HDL metab as tx target   Increase apo A-I prodn; promote reverse chol transport; delay HDL catabolism  
🗑
Effect of ETOH (wine, beer) on HDL-C   increases HDL-C  
🗑
Theoretical effect of CTEP inhibitors   Lower LDL; increase HDL  
🗑
Familial Dyslipidemias   Fredrickson phenotypes III, IV, & V  
🗑
high levels of trigs may directly promote:   atherothrombosis  
🗑
high levels of trigs assoc w/ increases in:   fibrinogen, clotting factors VII & X, & blood viscosity  
🗑
Framingham focuses on which lipid:   TC (but LDL is primary tx target)  
🗑
Framingham 10-yr CHD risk categories   r >20%, 10-20%, and <10%  
🗑
Low HDL-C is an Independent Predictor of CHD Risk even when:   LDL-C is Low  
🗑
Metab syndrome/girth increases genetic susceptibility to:   dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 DM  
🗑
Metabolic syndrome   3 of 5: abd obesity (waist men >40 in & women >35 in. TG ≥150 or tx for TG. HDL <40 (M) & <50 (F) or tx for low HDL. BP ≥130/85 or tx for HTN. FPG ≥100 or tx  
🗑
3 levels of prevention   Primary: remove risk factors; secondary: early detection & tx; tertiary: reduce complications  
🗑
A: fat contribute to CV dz; B: fat may be cardioprotective   A: Saturated & trans fat; B: monounsaturated & polyunsaturated fat  
🗑
Lipids carried by LPs for:   energy utilization; lipid deposition; steroid hormone prodn; bile acid formation  
🗑
Lipoprotein consists of:   esterified & unesterified chol, trigs, phospholipids, & protein  
🗑
Protein components of the lipoprotein =   apolipoproteins or apoproteins.  
🗑
Apolipoproteins =   cofactors for enzymes and ligands for receptors  
🗑
