Plasma lipoproteins are spherical particles containing varying amounts of cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and proteins. The phospholipid, free cholesterol and protein constitute the outer surface of the lipoprotein particle, while the inner core contains mostly esterified cholesterol and triglycerides. These particles serve to solubilize and transport cholesterol and triglycerides in the bloodstream. The relative proportions of protein and lipid determine the density of these lipoproteins and provide a basis on which to begin their classification. These classes are: chylomicrons, very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL), lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL). Numerous clinical studies have shown that the different lipoprotein classes have very distinct and varied effects on coronary heart disease risk. The studies all point to LDL cholesterol as the key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) , while HDL cholesterol has been observed to have a protective effect. Even within the normal range of total cholesterol concentrations, an increase in LDL cholesterol can occur with an associated increased risk for CAD<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
