The aim of this work is to present basic information on the lipoprotein physiology. The
protein fraction of lipoproteins consists of several apolipoproteins and enzymes whose …

Since lipids are insoluble in water, they are transported in plasma by lipoproteins composed
of several classes of lipids (including cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids) and …

Cholesterol in humans has two different sources: endogenous, from de novo synthesis, and
exogenous, from the diet. Cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in plasma, so …

Lipoproteins constitute in plasma a dynamic system allowing lipid transport. For this
purpose, apolipoproteins play a very important part. They control and regulate lipid transfer …

Lipoproteins are particles in plasma which carry cholesterol and triglyceride. Lipoprotein
metabolism is described based on structure and function of their apolipoproteins and the …

Lipoproteins are macromolecular complexes composed of lipids and proteins. They exist to
transport hydrophobic lipids and proteins within the circulation. A key function of the …

Hyperlipidaemias are important risk factors for coronary heart disease. To prevent and treat
the different forms of hyperlipidaemias it is important to understand lipoprotein metabolism …

Lipoproteins are complexes of lipid and specialized proteins called apoproteins.
Apoproteins have physical properties that allow them to bind lipids that are insoluble in …

Cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in water and therefore these lipids must be
transported in association with proteins. Lipoproteins are complex particles with a central …

Plasma lipids are transported by lipoproteins composed of several classes of lipids
(including cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids) and proteins designated …
