Transcriptional control of HMGCoA
SREBP-2 binds SCAP which binds Insig in ER membrane if sterols are high
SCAP senses sterol levels
when sterols are low, SCAP doesnt assoc with Insig and SREBP-2 SCAP goes to golgi, where S1P and S2P cleave SREBP-2 to active amino-terminal domain TF

% TG: HDL, LDL, IDL, VLDL, CM
% Protein: CM, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL
Electrophor (-) to (+): CM, LDL, VLDL, HDL
```
69
CM have what?
ApoB48 vs ApoB100 in VLDL and LDL
70
Microsomal triacylglycerol transfer protein (MTP)
loads ApoB48 with lipid in ER for CM
necessary for loading TG to VLDL/CM
w/o MTP deficient in fat sol vit: ADEK because couldnt package them for distribution
71
Abetalipoproteinemia
No MTP, cant make CM or VLDL
72
Synthesis of CM
MTP loads ApoB48 with lipid in ER, moves to golgi, secreted to lymphatics then blood at nascent CM stage, in plasma gets ApoC-II and ApoE from HDL, ApoCII activates LPL on endothelia cells of caps (except liver), removal of TGs, ApoCII leaves to give CM remnant, ApoE stays and is the ligand receptor in liver, where remnant is degraded
73
Lifetime of CM?
few hrs
74
VLDL
carries TG to perifery, apoB100, produced in liver, need MTP, when TAGs are removed becomes IDL, when ApoC and ApoE level, becomes LDL
75
CETP
TAGs transferred from VLDL to HDL for cholesteryl esters from HDL to VLDL
76
LDL
carries CE/C to periphery and liver, want <100 LDL-R recognizes ApoB100 and not B48, and have higher affinity for ApoE on IDLs than ApoB100, receptor binding leads to endocytosis, drop in pH to separate receptor and keep LDL, return receptor to surface
77
ACAT
esterfiest cholesterol with FA for better storage
78
PCSK9
blocks LDL-R recycling to cell surface
79
FH
AD, AA - 4-6x normal, Aa - 2-3x normal serum cholesterol
80
Statins vs sequenstrins
Statins inhibit HMGCoA reductase, sequestrins makes you excrete bile acids, so you make more by increasing HMGCoA and LDL-R, should be given together!
81
HDL
formed by lipids + ApoA1 (produced by liver and intestines), removes cholesterol from periphery to liver, want >60
82
ABCA1
releases cholesterol that is taken up by HDL
83
LCAT
activates ApoA1 on HDL, more discoidal shape, binds to SR-B1 in liver
84
Friedewald equation
LDL = Total - HDL - TG/5 (VLDL)
85

91
Where are VLDL made? and then where do they go?
RER on liver and post translationally modified by adding CHO, combine with products of lipid syn, pass through secretory pathway to golgi
92
Low Lecitin/sphingomyelin
Need surgactant therapy as DPCC is lacking that is needed to reduce surface tension to prevent collapse of alveli (fetus doesnt have DPCC, risk of respiratory distress syndrome)

111
Gain of function vs loss of function mutation in PCSK9
gain - increased degradation of LDL-R, more blood LDL
| loss - increase LDL-R, decrease blood LDL, lower blood LDL, and risk of CHD
112
Use of statins and sequenstrins together does what?
Forces liver to make bile acids from blood cholesterol, lowering [ ]
113
PAPS relation to steroid hormones
PAPS sulfates steroid hormones, making them more water sol, less tightly bound to binding proteins and can be filtered out of blood by kidney
114
Metformin acting on VLDL and TG?
increases AMPK so insulin cant upreg. SREBP1 in liver for FA syn, so cant make FA, lowers TG levels, given to Type 2 DM, since you cant make FA, lower VLDL levels
115
Niacin
in high doses, can raise HDL, by inhibit HSL, reducing FAs coming to liver to make VLDLs
116
Location of ApoB48 vs B100
intestines vs liver
117
Binding affinity of ApoB48 and ApoE on CM
ApoE has higher binding affinity in liver, so CM are rapidly taken up by liver (LDL still you E over B100 because of binding affinity)
118
Different between B48 and B100
B48 lacks LDL-R domain
119
HDL
highest phospholipid and protein, lowest TG (same as LDL)
120
CM
lowest phospholipid, cholesterol ester and protein, highest TG
121
LDL
highest C/CE, same TG as HDL

ApoCII, mutations in either results in high CM, VLDLs
123
LACT coactivator?
ApoA-1
124
ABCA1 transporter is for what?
cholesterol efflux from peripheral cells, mutation would lead to increase cholesterol in body tissues and decrease HDL
125
Foam cells and HDL?
HDL takes cholesterol out of them, reduced sclerotic plaques
