Tissue uptake of LDL
LDL loaded with Cholesterol is taken up by peripheral
tissues by
1. LDL receptors mediated endocytosis
2. Scavenger receptors (macrophages
derived from monocytes) mechanisms
Clathrin
Maintain their cell membrane (All tissues)
Steroid hormone synthesis (adrenal cortex)
Bile acids synthesis (hepatocytes)
Transport Cholesterol from liver to the
peripheral tissues.
Receptors mediated endocytosis
Scavenger receptors / Receptor independent mechanism
Phagocytic macrophages (monocytes )
• It recognize LDL that has been modified –
oxidized LDL
• Uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages in
the arterial wall is potentially dangerous
• Macrophages overloaded with CE are
called foam cells
Lipoprotein(a) not apoprotein-A
• Lp(a) is a LDLvariant containing a protein- apolipoprotein(a).
• It is attached to apo-B100 of LDL by a disulfide bond
• It is highly atherogenic & impairs fibrinolysis
• It is an important marker of CHD

1) Transports cholesterol from

3) Transfers cholesteryl esters to VLDL
& LDL in exchange for TG & PL
from these particles

Enzymes and Transfer Proteins Functions
Lecithin - Cholesterol Acyl transferase -
LCAT
Esterifies the cholesterol (Cholesterol→
Cholesterol ester) content of HDL to prevent it
from reentering the cells
Acyl-CoA: Cholesterol Acyl transferase-
ACAT
Formation of cholesterol esters in cells
ATP-Binding Cassette-1- ABC-1 Transfer of free CH from plasma membrane to
ApoA-1 (HDL)
Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein - CETP Transfer of CE and TG b/w HDL & VLDL &
LDL
Phospholipids Transfer Protein -PLTP Transfers phospholipids b/w lipoproteins
Scavenger receptor class-B type-1-SR-B1 Multi ligand receptor that binds not only HDL
but VLDL & LDL also
LCAT: Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyl transferase
ABC-1 : ATP-binding cassette-1
SR-B1: scavenger receptor class B type-1
CETP: Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein
ABC-1
Hepatic HDL receptor

Significance of reverse cholesterol transport
– Cellular & lipoprotein cholesterol is delivered back to the liver
– It prevents deposition of cholesterol in the tissues
– anti-atherogenic property of HDL to protect LDL from oxidation due to
the association of esterase enzyme paraoxanase with HDL
– Paraoxanase may destroy oxidized LDL
– HDL decreases the risk of coronary heart diseases
Disorders of lipoproteins
(Lipoproteinemias/ Hyperlipidemias )
(Frederick son classification of lipoproteinemias)
• It causes complex & different disease mechanism, it classified into
• Primary hyper-lipoproteinemia:
– is completely genetic disorders.
• Secondary hyper-lipoproteinemia:
– is manifested due to other disorders (Nephrotic syndrome, type-II
DM & cirrhosis of liver ) .
• Coronary & cerebral vessels are more commonly affected
• Deposition of lipid in subcutaneous tissue leads to xanthomas
