How are lipids carried - ANSWER on lipoproteins in the blood because they are insoluble in water



Proteins found on lipoproteins - ANSWER apolipoproteins



Density of lipoprotein with less lipid and greater protein - ANSWER more dense



Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein - ANSWER less dense



Major bloodstream lipoproteins - ANSWER chylomicrons, vLDL, LDL, HDL



Chylomicrons - ANSWER least dense of the lipoproteins and are triglyceride-rich particles that are
formed in the intestine



Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found - ANSWER Transport dietary fat and can be
found in the bloodstream at highest concentration soon after a meal



Least to most dense lipoprotein particles - ANSWER Chlyomicron, vLDL, LDL, HDL



lipoprotein that is the most atherogenic of all lipoproteins - ANSWER LDL



LDL carries - ANSWER 60-70% of the cholesterol in the blood



HDL carries - ANSWER 20-30% of the cholesterol in the blood



Equation for total LDL-C in bloodstream - ANSWER LDL= TC-(HDL-C-(TG/5))

High total cholesterol level - ANSWER >240



Optimal TG level - ANSWER <150



Borderline high TG level - ANSWER 150-199



High TG level - ANSWER 200-499



Very high TG levels - ANSWER >500

Hypertriglycerdemia is associated with high levels of - ANSWER VLDL-C



Non-HDL-Cholesterol calculation - ANSWER HDL-C - Total cholesterol



Atherogenic dyslipidemia - ANSWER Elevated levels of TG, low HDL-C and only modest elevations of LDL-
C



Metabolic syndrome - ANSWER requires the presence of any 3 of the following conditions: abdominal
obesity, elevated TG, low HDL, elevated BP and hyperglycemia



Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Abdominal obesity - ANSWER WC >102 cm (40 in) for men

WC >88cm (35 in) for women



Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Hypertriglyceremia - ANSWER ≥150 or drug treatment



Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Low HDL - ANSWER <40 for men

<50 for women



Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Elevated BP - ANSWER SBP ≥130

DBP ≥85

or drug treatment



Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Hyperglycemia - ANSWER Fasting glucose ≥100

or drug treatment

AACVPR understanding of atherosclerosis - ANSWER Traditional risk factors are a source of inflammatory
changes in the blood vessel wall --> which attract lipid laden macrophages and other inflammatory cells
to enter the blood vessel wall --> where they proliferate and develop atherosclerotic plaques --> which
are the source of the clinical manifestations of CHD



Fatty streaks - ANSWER lipid deposition (daily lipid laden macrophages) in the arterial wall



Lumen - ANSWER opening inside of the blood vessel



fibrous plaque - ANSWER Larger and more obstructive lesoions consisting of an outer fibrous



Why do plaque ruptures occurs prior to the development of cardiovascular symptoms in many cases -
ANSWER Atherosclerotic plaques that are prone to rupture tend to be younger, more immature plaques
that usually do not produce the degree of luminal narrowing required to develop exertion symptoms



What occurs after a plaque rupture - ANSWER Clot formation within the lumen of the coronary artery,
potential resulting in an acute coronary syndrome from the sudden development of severe obstruction
to coronary blood flow



Examples of foods high in dietary cholesterol - ANSWER Animal products ( meat, poultry, fish, eggs,
butter, cheese, whole and 2% milk)



Examples of foods high in saturated fatty acids - ANSWER high fat meats (beef, lamb, pork, poultry with
skin, beef fat, lard), dairy products, tropical oils ( palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil)



Examples of foods high in trans fatty acids - ANSWER fried foods, baked goods, stick margarines,
shortenings



Examples of foods high in monounsaturated fatty acids - ANSWER vegetable oils (olive oil, canola oil,
peanut oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil) , avocados, peanutbutter, nuts and seeds
