Lipoprotein Metabolism

Enterocytes release absorbed lipids the form of triglyceride-rich chylomicrons. These are acted upon by endothelial

Risk factors for atherosclerosis

Modifiable risk factors:
 - Dyslipidemia (elevated LDL, decreased HDL)
 - Tobacco smoking
 -
Dyslipidemia (elevated LDL
Abnormal Lipid Profiles - Differential Diagnosis Algorithm

Increased Cholesterol and Triglycerides 
 - Genetic Causes
Androgens Increased LDL
Fibrates - Gemfibrozil and Fenofibrate 
Mechanism: activates PPAR alpha
Lipid Effects:
 - Decrease TG by 30-50%
 -
- Decrease LDL
