1. LIPOPROTEINS
1. Lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly.
2. Primary function is to transport hydrophobic acid (also known as
fat) molecule in water, plasma or ECF.
3. They consist of triglyceride and cholesterol center.
4. They surrounded by a phospholipid outer side with the
hydrophilic portion.
2. TYPES
1. HDL(high density lipoprotein)
2. LDL (low density lipoprotein)
3. VLDL(very low density lipoprotein)
4. IDL (Intermediate density lipoprotein)
5. Chylomicrons
3. FUNCTION
1. Lipoprotein are lipid transport molecules that transport plasma
lipids.
2. Specific lipoproteins are risk factors for cardiovascular disease
and other metabolic diseases.
3. HDL maintain cholesterol level and decrease chances of
diseases.
