MODUL 16 : DYSLIPIDEMIA
METABOLISM OF LIPOPROTEIN
Overve! Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that are essential for the
transport of cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat-soluble vitamins. Lipoproteins
are large macromolecular complexes that transport hydrophobic lipids
(primarily triglycerides, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins) through body
fluids (plasma, interstitial fluid, and lymph) to and from tissues. Lipoproteins
play an essential role in the absorption of dietary cholesterol, long-chain fatty
acids, and fat-soluble vitamins; the transport of triglycerides, cholesterol, and
fat-soluble vitamins from the liver to peripheral tissues; and the transport of
cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver.
G"#$ To understand the metabolism of lipoprotein and the clinical importance of
lipoprotein disorders derives chiefly from the role of lipoproteins in
atherogenesis.

Overve! Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that are essential for the
transport of cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat-soluble vitamins. The clinical
importance of lipoprotein disorders derives chiefly from the role of lipoproteins
in atherogenesis. The greatly increased ris% of acute pancreatitis associated
$ith severe hypertriglyceridemia is an additional indication for intervention.
'isordered lipid metabolism also underlies the syndrome of nonalcoholic
steatohepatitis (6A72). -haracteri8ation of dyslipidemia is important for
selection of appropriate treatment and may provide clues to underlying
primary clinical disorders.
