What are the 4 major lipoproteins?
(See link below)Chylomicrons are the least dense of all the lipoproteins and are basically just big balls of fat (triglycerides), with a makeup of about 90 percent fat, a touch of phospholipids, some cholesterol, and a smidgin of protein.VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) carries a great amount of fat, some phospholipids, and cholesterol. The high fat content of VLDL makes a large quantity of this lipoprotein in the blood undesirable.LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol) has only a fraction of the fat and double the protein of VLDL and is very high in cholesterol. This lipoprotein carries the majority of cholesterol in the blood and is considered the unhealthy one.HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) is a spherical blob of mostly protein (albeit a type different from that found in LDL), some cholesterol, phospholipids, and very little fat. The densest of all the lipoproteins, HDL is the healthy one.
What is the structure of LDL and HDL particles and how do they differ in terms of their composition and function?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) are both types of lipoprotein particles that transport cholesterol in the blood. The structure of LDL particles consists of a core of cholesterol esters surrounded by a shell of phospholipids and apolipoproteins. LDL particles are known as "bad" cholesterol because they can deposit cholesterol in the walls of arteries, leading to atherosclerosis. On the other hand, HDL particles have a core of cholesterol and triglycerides surrounded by a shell of phospholipids and apolipoproteins. HDL particles are considered "good" cholesterol because they help remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for excretion. In summary, LDL particles transport cholesterol from the liver to the tissues, while HDL particles transport excess cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver.
