Introduction
WHO : Prevalence of raised blood cholesterol, age : 25+
• Abnormalities of LDL metabolism associated with severe cardiovascular diseases.
• Disorders of fat metabolism correlate with plasma LDL-C level.• 2,6 million deaths per year.• Causes : unhealthy lifestyle and/or gene.
Lipoproteins • Differentiated by their densities, diameters and molecular weight. • VLDL <IDL <LDL <HDL• Apolipoproteins : serving lipids to targeted cells.
- Structural element- Ligands - Enzyme activators
Endogenous pathway
Reverse cholesterol pathway
LDL receptor • Remove 70% of LDL• Ligand = ApoB100 ( MTP is necessary
for its production)• ARH = binding and endocytosis• PCSK9 = receptor’s degradation in
lysosome

TherapyAgainst increased synthesis Statins (HMG-CoA reductase
inhibitors)
Lipid-lowering agents –such as Vitamin B3, fibrates, 2-Azetidiones, bile-acid sequestrates, omega-3.
Lifestyle modification- dietary changes, exercise, behavioral therapy.
