cholesterol (lipid) needs to be attached to protein to be moved around so the body forms lipoproteins (lipids+proteins).
there are two types of lipoproteins:
- HDL:high density lipoproteins or "good" cholesterol which helps remove LDL from the blood
- LDL:low density lipoproteins or "bad" cholesterol which contributes to plaque in the arteries
What else can I help you with?
What is a Low-density lipoprotein?
A type of lipoprotein that consists of about 50% cholesterol and is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease
What is a High-density lipoprotein?
It is a type of lipoprotein that protects against coronary artery disease by removing cholesterol deposits from arteries or preventing their formation
What type of cholesterol that may put patients at risk of heart disease?
Low-density lipoprotein
Which Lipoprotein analysis is coded CPT 83704?
NMR Lipoprotein test
Which type of lipoprotein transports newly digested fat from the intestine through the lymph and blood?
Chylomicron
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 cholesterol a molecule?
Cholesterol is a fatty (lipid) substance carried around the body by proteins. These combinations of cholesterol and proteins are called lipoproteins. So cholesterol doesn't 'have', or contain, protein, but is chemically linked to proteins, hence the term 'lipoprotein'. There are two main types of lipoproteins:LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is the harmful type of cholesterol.HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is a protectivetype of cholesterol.
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.
