Scheme of the lipoprotein particle

Lipid transport:

  • Albumin - non-esterified MK
  • alpha 2-microglobulin - retinol
  • Lipoproteins - non-polar lipids

Lipoprotein division[edit | edit source]

  1. Using ultracentrifugation: based on hydrated density: VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL
  2. Electrophoretic: alpha-lipoproteins, pre-beta-lipoproteins, beta-lipoproteins, chylomicrons
  3. Immunochemical methods: apo A, apo B, apo C, apo D, apo E, ...

Apolipoprotein function[edit | edit source]

  • They are cofactors of enzymes efficient in lipoprotein metabolism
  • They mediate the binding of lipoprotein particles to specific receptors
  • They are structural proteins of lipoprotein particles
  • Participates in the transfer or exchange of lipid particles between individual lipoproteins

Meaning of HDL[edit | edit source]

  • Reverse transport of cholesterol from cells to the liver
  • Prevents oxidation of LDL particles, replaces oxidized LDL components with non-oxidized ones
  • HDL paraoxonase enzyme inhibits LDL oxidation and destroys biologically active oxidized phospholipids

Examination[edit | edit source]

Basic examination of lipid metabolism[edit | edit source]

  • Cholesterol: 3.8 - 5.2 mmol / l
  • TAG: 0.9 - 1.7 mmol / l
  • HDL:> 1.1 mmol / l
  • LDL: <4.5 mmol / l

Target values ​​of Czech society for atherosclerosis[edit | edit source]

  • Cholesterol: 4.5 - 5.0 mmol / l (for low-risk people up to 6.0 mmol / l)
  • HDL> 1.1 mmol / l
  • LDL <2.5 mmol / l in secondary prevention (<3 - 3.5 mmol / l in high risk, <4 - 4.5 mmol / l in low risk)
  • TAG <1.7 mmol / l (2.0)

Further examination[edit | edit source]

Friedwald LDL cholesterol calculation

  • the formula cannot be used if the TAG level> 4.5 mmol / l
  • LDL - chol. = total chol. - (HDL - chol. + TAG x 0.37) mmol / l

Atherogenic Index (AI)

AI = (total cholesterol - HDL) / HDL

Apo A-I and apo B-100 concentrations, lipoprotein electrophoresis

Division of Hyperlipoproteinemias and Hypolipoproteinemias[edit | edit source]
