Q

It is the product of VLDL catabolsim.

Migrates either in the pre B or B region

A

IDL

22
Q

Known as the ‘sinking pre beta LPP’.

A

Lipoprotein a

Due to electrophoretic mobility same as VLDL but density like LDL

23
Q

Abnormal lipoprotein found in ovstructive jaundice and LCAT deficiency. A specific and sensitive indicator of CHOLESTASIS.

A

Lipoprotein x

Protein portion : Apo C and albumin

24
Q

Known as:

“Floating B Lipoprotein”

A

B-VLDL

Density same as VLDL
migration same as LDL in beta region.

25
Q

Lipoprotein found in type 3 hyperlipoproteinemia and dysbetalipoproteinemia.

A

B-VLDL

No conversion of VLDL to LDL, does IDL also accumulate.

26
Q

Preffered anticoagulant for ultracentrifugal and electrophoretic methods in LPP.

A

EDTA

*Even though Chole and TAG conc are about 3% lower than serum.

27
Q

Fasting in LIPOPROTEIN determinations.

A

12 to 14 hours.–> mandatory for LDL and TAG

If non fasting TC and HDL-C can be measured.

28
Q

Levels of LDL and HDL after eating.

A

Decreased

29
Q

Reference method for quantitation of LPP.

A

Ultracentrifugation.

*expressed in svedverg units (s)

30
Q

Electrophoretic pattern of LPPs.

A

HDL , VLDL, LDL, Chylomicrons

VLDL Migrates on a-2 globulin (pre-B)

31
Q

Most popular method in measuring HDL-C.

A

Homogenous assay

32
Q

Formula for LDL-c.

A

TC - HDL-c - VLDL

*VLDL= TAG/2.175 (friedwald) or 2.825 (de long) –> mmol/ L
If mg/dl –> 5.0 or 6.5 respectively

40
Q

Apolipoprotein associated with CHD, Alzheimer’s dx and hyperlipoprotenemia type 3.

A

E-2 isoforms hyperlipoproteinemia type 3

41
Q

Apolipoprotein found in HDL CM LDL VLDL and associated with HDL remodelling.

A

Apo M

42
Q

Apolipoprotein homologous to plasminogen, may be prothrombotic; bound to apoB-100 by disulfide linkages

A

Apo (a)

43
Q

An autosomal dominant disorder caused by defective or deficient LDL receptors.

A

Familial hypercholesterolemia (type2a)

*(+) with xanthelasma and planar xanthomas

44
Q

Involves accumulation of VLDL rich in Chole and chylomicron remnants.
Associated with apo E2.
Involves both the endogenous and exogenous pathway.
Creates a broad beta band electrophoretic pattern. “B-VLDL”–> PATHOGNOMONIC FEATURE.

A

Familial Dysbetalipoproteinemia/ Type 3 hyperLPPemia

45
Q

An autosomal recessive disorder; defective apo B synthesis.
VLDL LDL CM–> absent
Chole and TAG–> low
Deficient Fat soluble vitamins ADEK

CHARACTERIZED by cerebullar ataxia, acanthocytosis, fat malabsorption.

A

Abetalipoproteinemia/ Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome

  • vit D not require CM for absorption and therefore typically not deficient.
  • vit A and vit K have independent transport systems. Clinical deficiency not severe as seen with vit E.
  • vit E relies upon CM for absorption and relies on VLDL /LDL for delivery to tissues. MOST DEFICIENT VITAMIN.
46
Q

It is an inherited disorder of lipid met. accumulation of sphingomyelin in the BM spleen LNs

A

Niemann-Pick disease

47
Q

Autosomal recessive disorder characterized by complete absence of HDL due to mutation in the ABCA1 gene on chromosome 9.

A

Tangier’s disease.

*clinical findings: orange- yellow discoloration of the tonsils and pharynx.

48
Q

A rare autosomal recessive disorder that presents abdominal pain and pancreatitis.

It results to inability to clear chylomicron particles, creating the classic “Type 1 chylomicronemia”

A

Lipoprotein Lipase deficiency

*deficiency in Apo-C-2 also causes chylomicronemia

49
Q

It is due to mutation in the LCAT gene.

Fish-eye disease is milder form of this.

A

LCAT deficiency

50
Q

Deficiency of hexosaminidase A which results in the accumulation of spingolipids in the brain.

A

Tay-Sachs disease

51
Q

Distinct from abetalipoproteinemia as only Apo-B48 appears to be affected.

A

Chylomicron Retention Disease / Anderson’s disease.
