| lecithin-cholesterol transferase | A plasma enzyme that catalyses the uptake of cholesterol esters by intermediate-density lipoproteins formed by high density lipoproteins. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lipoproteins, hdl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to high density lipoproteins (hdl). High density lipoproteins transport cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver thereby acting as a scavenger to prevent excess accumulation and deposition of cholesterol in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lipoproteins, ldl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to low density lipoproteins (ldl). Ldl transport cholesterol to peripheral tissues and regulate de novo cholesterol synthesis at these sites. Atherosclerosis is caused by the deposit of cholesterol on the walls of blood vessels, because of high concentrations of ldl cholesterol in plasma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lipoproteins, vldl cholesterol | Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to very low density lipoproteins (vldl). High concentrations of vldl cholesterol are found in type IIb and type v hyperlipoproteinaemia. The end product of vldl cholesterol catabolism is ldl (low density lipoproteins). (12 Dec 1998) |
