  2. High-density lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_lipoprotein

    The remainder of the serum cholesterol after subtracting the HDL is the non-HDL cholesterol. The concentration of these other components, which may cause atheroma, is known as the non-HDL-C. This is now preferred to LDL-C as a secondary marker as it has been shown to be a better predictor and it is more easily calculated. [10]

  3. Reverse cholesterol transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_cholesterol_transport

    Reverse cholesterol transport is a multi-step process resulting in the net movement of cholesterol from peripheral tissues back to the liver first via entering the lymphatic system, then the bloodstream. [1] HDL is first produced in the liver in a cholesterol-free form. As a result, it appears discoidal in shape.

  4. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    Under certain abnormal physiological conditions such as system infection or sepsis, the major components of HDL become altered, [9] [10] The composition and quantity of lipids and apolipoproteins are altered as compared to normal physiological conditions, such as a decrease in HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), phospholipids, apoA-I (a major lipoprotein ...

  6. Blood lipids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_lipids

    Blood lipids (or blood fats) are lipids in the blood, either free or bound to other molecules.They are mostly transported in a phospholipid capsule, and the type of protein embedded in this outer shell determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism.

  7. Apolipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apolipoprotein

    Apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA4) is present in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), and HDL. It is thought to act primarily in reverse cholesterol transport [4] and intestinal lipid absorption via chylomicron assembly and secretion. ApoA-IV synthesized in hypothalamus is suggested to be a satiating factor which regulate the food ...

  9. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    The main function of cholesterol is controlling the cell membrane fluidity. [26] Steroid – see also steroidogenesis: Steroids are one of the important cell signaling molecules. [26] Triacylglycerols (fats) – see also lipolysis and lipogenesis: Triacylglycerols are the major form of energy storage in human body. [1]
