What are the two types of lipoprotein?
The two main types of lipoproteins are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, while HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries.
Which lipoprotein has the highest amount of protein?
HDL (high-density lipoprotein) has the highest amount of protein among lipoproteins.
What is the difference between low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein in terms of their impact on heart health?
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, leading to heart disease. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries, reducing the risk of heart disease.
Where does lipoprotein lipase break down triglycerides in the body?
Lipoprotein lipase breaks down triglycerides in the body primarily in the blood vessels and tissues, such as muscle and fat cells.
The lipoprotein film covering the alveoli serves to what?
The lipoprotein film covering the alveoli serves to reduce surface tension, preventing the collapse of the alveoli during exhalation and promoting efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
What lipoprotein is largest in size?
Chylomicrons
Which Lipoprotein analysis is coded CPT 83704?
NMR Lipoprotein test
What are two types of lipoproteins?
high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein.
What lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol back to the liver form the periphery?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
Is lipoprotein and protein the same?
Lipoprotein and protein are not the same. Lipoproteins are assemblies of lipids and proteins.
What is hdl and ldl?
HDL is high density lipoprotein , Whilst LDL is low density lipoprotein .
What are the two sites of lipoprotein synthesis?
The small intestine and the liver are the two sites of lipoprotein synthesis.
What lipoprotein is also referred to as pre-beta lipo protein?
The lipoprotein referred to as pre-beta lipoprotein is also known as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). VLDL is primarily responsible for carrying triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues for energy use.
What are the two types of lipoprotein?
The two main types of lipoproteins are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is known as "bad" cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries, while HDL is known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries.
In comparison to a low density lipoprotein a high density lipoprotein contains more cholesterol?
less lipid
What organ provides the major site for lipoprotein formation?
The liver is the main site of lipoprotein formation. It is secreted in the gallbladder.
Which lipoprotien is decribed as good cholesterol?
The HDL-lipoprotein is the "good cholestrol".HDL is short for "High Density Lipoprotein".
