CVPR Week 4: Introduction to lipids Flashcards
Objectives

Epidemiology

Leading cause of death worldwide

Approaches to CVD prevention
4 listed

Lipoprotein management

CVD Risk
- Abnormal lipid metabolism
- ↑ LDL
- ↑ ApoB
- ↓ HDL
- ↑ Triglycerides
- Age, gender, race, FHx
- Inflammation, hypercoagualation
- HTN
- Smoking, physical inactivity
- Unhealthy eating
- Insulin resitance
- Obesity/overweight
Heart deaths during the last century
- in 1900 CVD very low
- decrease in mid-80s because the first statin was released in 1984 and HTN drugs

Features of a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque
eccentric
lipid-rich
prior luminal obstruction
visible rupture and thrombus

Identify

What are these?


What is this?


What do statins inhibit?
HMG-CoA Reductase
What do biphosphonates inhibit?
Farnesyl-PP synthase
Synthesis of cholesterol biochemistry

Ubiquinone AKA
Co-enzyme Q10
Muscle aches and pains from statin therapy
(Co-Q10) Ubiquinone supplement to decrease myalgias on statins (Co-Q10)
The process of fat digestion
8 steps listed

APO-lipoprotein B48
on chylomicron
Apoprotein C-II
increases efficiency of lipoprotein lipase on the intestinal wall
Lipoprotein lipase
breaks down triglycerides into Free-fatty acids
feeds muscle tissue and adipocytes and cells that can use FFAs
Identify
