How are lipids carried on lipoproteins in the blood because they are insoluble in water Proteins found on lipoproteins apolipoproteins Density of lipoprotein with less lipid and greater protein more dense Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein less dense Major bloodstream lipoproteins chylomicrons, vLDL, LDL, HDL Chylomicrons least dense of the lipoproteins and are triglyceride-rich particles that are formed in the intestine Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found Transport dietary fat and can be found in the bloodstream at highest concentration soon after a meal Least to most dense lipoprotein particles Chlyomicron, vLDL, LDL, HDL lipoprotein that is the most atherogenic of all lipoproteins LDL LDL carries 60-70% of the cholesterol in the blood HDL carries 20-30% of the cholesterol in the blood Equation for total LDL-C in bloodstream LDL= TC-(HDL-C-(TG/5)) When does calculating LDL-C become inaccurate when TG exceeds 400mg/dL Desirable total cholesterol level 200 Borderline high total cholesterol level 200-240 High total cholesterol level 240 Optimal TG level 150 Borderline high TG level 150-199 High TG level 200-499 Very high TG levels 500 Optimal in men HDL levels 40 Optimal in women HDL levels 50 Optimal LDL-C levels 100 Near optimal LDL-C levels 100-129 Borderline high LDL-C levels 130-159 High LDL-C levels 160-189 Very high LDL-C levels 190 Hypertriglycerdemia is associated with high levels of VLDL-C Non-HDL-Cholesterol calculation HDL-C - Total cholesterol Atherogenic dyslipidemia Elevated levels of TG, low HDL-C and only modest elevations of LDL-C Metabolic syndrome requires the presence of a
