Terms in this set (20)
Apolipoprotein A protein that combines with a lipid (such as
cholesterol or triglyceride) to form a lipoprotein
* Apo A-1
* Apo B (B-100, B-48)
* Apo C
* Apo E
Arteriosclerosis A chronic disease characterized by normal
thickening and hardening of the arterial walls with
resulting loss of elasticity
Atherosclerosis A condition where plaque (a combination of
cholesterol, dat, calcium, white blood cells, and
other substances) builds up underneath the inner
lining (endothelium) of an artery and restricts
blood flow; atherosclerosis is a specific type of
arteriosclerosis
Cholesterol A type of fat that is made up of four interlocked
rings of carbon, called a steroid
, Chylomicron A type of lipoprotein produced from dietary lipids
that transports lipids from the mucosal cells of the
small intestine to the tissues
Emulsification The process of forcing two immiscible liquids to
combine into colloidal suspension
Essential Fatty Acid An unsaturated fatty acid that is essential to human
health, but cannot be manufactured in the body
3 types:
* arachnoidic acid
* linoleum acid
* linolenic acid
Esterification The transformation of a carboxylic acid and an
alcohol into an ester and water
Fatty Acid The primary components of lipids comprised of
hydrocarbon chains terminating with carboxylic
acid groups
Lipid A fatty or waxy organic compound that is readily
soluble in nonpolar solvents (e.g. alcohol) but not
in polar solvents (e.g. water) and whose major
biological functions involve energy storage,
structural component of cell membranes, and cell
signaling)
Lipoprotein Any of the lipid-protein complexes in which lipids
are transported in the blood
