What lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol back to the liver form the periphery?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
What are the two sites of lipoprotein synthesis?
The small intestine and the liver are the two sites of lipoprotein synthesis.
What does the liver consists of?
Ys, every organ in the body is composed of tissues - cells form tissues which form organs which form organisms. The liver is no different - various cells form different tissues that together make up the liver which in turn is part of the organism (the human or animal).
What form of lipid does the liver release into the blood?
lipoprotein
What organ provides the major site for lipoprotein formation?
The liver is the main site of lipoprotein formation. It is secreted in the gallbladder.
What are synthesised in the liver?
New glucose, liver glycogen, cholesterol, lipoprotein, lipid, bile salts, and ketone bodies are synthesised in the liver.
What tissues are found in the liver?
Many tissues form blood vessel walls, including endothelium, pericytes, smooth muscle, and fibroblasts.
What does a histologist study?
histology is the study of liver. as it is obvious that as histology is a study of liver a histologist studies the various aspects of the liver such as the metabolic pathways during normal and during diseased conditions.
What do lipase in the large intestines do?
The chylomicrons are capable of transporting dietary triacyglycerols from the intestine to peripheral tissues. The liloprotein lipases can hydrolyze triacylglycerols. The remnants are then taken up by the liver with the aid of the apolipoprotein apoE and these remants are degraded in the liver.The very low density lipoprotein tansports triacyglycerols from the liver to peripheral tissues instead. When it is hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase, it loses the triacyglycerols and gets transformed into low density lipoproteins.
What is the function of Low-density lipoprotein?
The function of low density lipoproteins are to carry cholesterol molecules through the body. The cholesterol can be used in membranes for transport or to make hormones.
What does NHDL stand for in blood tests?
Non-High Density Lipoprotein. It is a marker for a "fatty liver" not caused by alcohol.
What is LDL or Low Density Lipoprotein?
are complex of lipids and proteins, with greater amounts of lipid than protein, that transports cholesterol in the blood. High levels are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. it trasport cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver ro periperal tissues..
