This document discusses abetalipoproteinemia, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the lack of apolipoprotein B, which is necessary for the formation of chylomicrons, VLDLs, and LDLs. This leads to an inability to absorb and transport dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Patients with abetalipoproteinemia experience fat accumulation in intestinal and liver cells, malabsorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E, and associated neurological and vision complications. The underlying genetic defect is mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene, which is essential for producing beta-lipoproteins needed for fat absorption and transport.
Lipoprotein introduction, their general characteristics, exogenous and endogenous metabolism focusing on chylomicron and vldl metabolism, ldl metabolism and HDL metabolism , reverse cholesterol transport.
1. Lipids are transported through the body bound to proteins in structures called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are classified based on their density, with chylomicrons being the lowest density and HDL being the highest.
2. Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids from the intestine to tissues, VLDL transports lipids made in the liver, LDL transports cholesterol, and HDL transports cholesterol from tissues back to the liver.
3. The major lipoproteins each contain different apolipoproteins that determine their structure and function. For example, ApoB48 is major protein of chylomicrons while ApoA1 is the major protein of HDL.
This document discusses lipoprotein metabolism. Lipoproteins are particles that carry lipids like triglycerides and cholesterol through the water-based bloodstream. They are composed of a hydrophobic core of lipids surrounded by a surface layer of phospholipids and apolipoproteins. The main lipoproteins are chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, LDL, and HDL. The document details how these lipoproteins are formed, the lipids they carry, their roles in lipid transport, and regulation of their metabolism by factors like diet, exercise, and enzymes. Maintaining healthy lipoprotein levels is important for cardiovascular health.
Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that transport lipids through the bloodstream. There are four main types of plasma lipoproteins - chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL - which differ in size, density, and lipid/protein composition. Chylomicrons carry dietary lipids from the intestine to other tissues, VLDL transports endogenous lipids from the liver, LDL carries cholesterol, and HDL transports cholesterol from tissues to the liver for processing or excretion. The metabolism and interactions between these lipoproteins, such as the transfer of lipids between them, are tightly regulated and essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis.

Lipoprotein metabolism and disorders
The document discusses lipoprotein metabolism and related disorders. It describes how lipoproteins transport lipids in the bloodstream, including their classification based on density and composition. The metabolism of chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins is summarized, including the roles of apolipoproteins and lipoprotein lipase. Disorders involving abnormal high or low levels of lipoproteins are described, such as familial hypercholesterolemia and Tangier disease. Fatty liver and impaired lipoprotein synthesis can also disrupt lipid transport.
Coronary heart disease due to atherosclerotic process is the major cause of death.Lipids have been implicated for enhanced atherosclerosis. The major lipids involved are triacy glycerol and cholesterol which are transported in the plasma by lipoproteins. So a better understanding of lipid transport and its abnormalities is essential for medical and health professional students.
Lipoproteins are complexes of protein and lipids that transport lipids in the bloodstream. There are four main types of lipoproteins: chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Each type has a specific function in lipid transport and metabolism. Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids from the intestine to other tissues, VLDL transports endogenous lipids from the liver, LDL delivers cholesterol to tissues, and HDL transports cholesterol from tissues back to the liver. The apolipoproteins associated with each lipoprotein complex help determine its structure and function in lipid transport and metabolism.
Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins that transport hydrophobic lipid molecules in blood plasma. They play key roles in lipid absorption, transport, and reverse cholesterol transport. Lipoproteins are classified based on their density and include chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, IDL, and HDL. They contain characteristic amounts of triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and apolipoproteins such as Apo B, Apo E, and differ in size, density, and function. Abnormal lipoprotein metabolism can lead to dyslipidemias and diseases like atherosclerosis.
There are six major classes of lipoproteins in blood that are classified based on their density. Different analytical techniques separate lipoproteins based on properties like density, size, and electric charge. The major lipoproteins are chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), and high density lipoproteins (HDL). Apolipoproteins associated with each lipoprotein particle help maintain their structure and facilitate their metabolism and clearance from circulation.

The document provides information on matter, mixtures, and solutions. It defines matter as any substance that has mass and takes up space. Mixtures are either homogeneous, with a uniform composition, or heterogeneous. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of solutes dissolved in solvents. True solutions are also called crystalloids and have particle sizes between 0.01 and 1 nm, making them transparent and unable to be separated by filtration.
DNA organization involves packaging the long DNA molecules inside the nucleus through several levels. DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which are organized into a 10nm fiber. The 10nm fiber is then coiled to form the 30nm chromatin fiber. Multiple loops of the 30nm fiber condense further to form chromosomes. Chromatin exists in two forms - euchromatin which is less dense and transcriptionally active, and heterochromatin which is more dense and inactive. Mitochondria also contain DNA which is circular and encodes proteins involved in respiration.
This document discusses physical chemistry concepts related to the states and classification of matter. It provides details on the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. Pure substances can be either elements or compounds, while mixtures contain two or more substances mixed together. The document also defines and compares different types of solutions, including true solutions, colloids, and suspensions. It describes properties of colloids such as the Tyndall effect, Brownian motion, dialysis, ultracentrifugation, and precipitation. Various methods of expressing concentration in solutions are also outlined.
Protein metabolism involves the synthesis and breakdown of proteins. There are 20 standard amino acids, of which 9 are essential and must be obtained through diet. Proteins are broken down into amino acids through digestion in the stomach and small intestine by enzymes like pepsin and trypsin. Amino acids can be used to synthesize new proteins or undergo catabolism. During catabolism, the nitrogen from amino acids is removed through the urea cycle and converted to urea for excretion. Glycine participates in the synthesis of heme, creatine, glutathione, and other compounds. Disorders of the urea cycle can cause hyperammonemia, a potentially lethal condition.
Phospholipids like dipalmitoyl-lecithin are important components of lung surfactant. Dipalmitoyl-lecithin is synthesized by alveolar epithelial cells and is the major phospholipid in surfactant that acts to lower surface tension in the alveoli and prevent their collapse. A deficiency in surfactant, as seen in respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), can occur when the lungs do not produce enough dipalmitoyl-lecithin and other surfactant components, making it difficult for the lungs to expand and exchange gases effectively.
The document provides information about the basics of molecular biology. It discusses that molecular biology involves the study of DNA replication, transcription, and translation. The key components involved are DNA, RNA, and proteins. It describes the structures of DNA and RNA, including their basic units and types. It explains the processes of DNA replication, transcription, reverse transcription, translation, and the genetic code. Common techniques used in molecular biology like PCR, gel electrophoresis, and molecular markers are also summarized.
This document provides information about enzymes and their classification, structure, and function. It begins by listing the intended learning outcomes, which are to describe enzyme classification, structures, mechanisms of action, and factors that affect enzyme activity. It then defines enzymes as biological catalysts and discusses their specificity, classification system, cofactors, isoenzymes, and kinetic parameters including Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The document also examines factors that regulate enzyme activity such as concentration, temperature, pH, inhibitors, and control of enzyme synthesis and degradation.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain
油
This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.

plasma.
Consist of :
Core of TG and CE
Surface of phospholipids and some cholesterol
Apolipoproteins (regulators of LP metabolism)
Types
CM, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL
9. Lipolysis is controlled by hormone sensitive lipase:-
TAG of adipose tissue is hydrolyzed by a hormone sensitive
lipase to give glycerol and free FAs.
Glycerol diffuses into the blood, to the liver and kidney
which have glycerol kinase enzyme, so they can utilize
glycerol.
The free FAs can be activated to acyl CoA by acyl CoA
synthetase enzyme and re-esterified with glycerol-3-p
Thus, there is a continuous cycle of lipolysis and esterification
When the rate of lipolysis is greater than the rate of re-
esterification, free FAs diffuse into the plasma, and raise the
concentration of plasma free FAs

21. high density lipoprotein (HDL)
Site of synthesis:- liver and intestine
Function:-
1- Act as a reservoir of apo CII which is transferred to chylomicrons
and VLDL to activate the lipoprotein lipase.
2- Removes free cholesterol from peripheral tissue (reverse
cholesterol metabolism) (good cholesterol) and esterifies it using
LCAT enzyme.
Lecithin + cholesterol 常常常常 Lysolecithin + cholesterol ester
3- It transfers cholesterol to VLDL, LDL and the liver.
Structure :-
Lipids:- Contains mainly phospholipids together with free or
esterified cholesterol.
Proteins:- including apo A, apoC and apoE.
22. Metabolism:-
Nascent HDL is the newly synthesized HDL, it consists of
discoid phosoholipid bilayers containing apo A and free
cholesterol.
Both apo C and apo E are synthesized in the liver and
transferred from the hepatic HDL to intestinal HDL when the
latter enters the plasma.
The transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver is known as
reverse cholesterol transport and is mediated by HDL cycle as
follow;
The smaller HDL3 accepts cholesterol from the tissues via the
ATP binding cassette transporter-1 (ABC-1) (transporter
proteins that couples hydrolysis of ATP with transport).
HDL is converted to the less dense HDL2 (spherical shape) by
accepting free cholesterol and esterifying it by LCAT.
#13: VLDL synthesised in the liver with apoprotein B100. VLDL receives apoproteins CII and E from HDL. Like chylomicrons, VLDLs travels around the circulatory system until they associate with lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme bound to the endothelial surface. This association is mediated through apoprotein CII. The lipoprotein lipase hydrolyses the triacylglycerol to liberate free fatty acids which diffuse into the local tissues. As triacylglycerol is lost, the VLDL shrinks and forms LDL. The released fatty acids can be reassembled into triacylglycerols for storage as fat or oxidised to produce ATP. The LDL return apoprotein CII and E to HDL and are taken up by receptor mediated endocytosis by the extra hepatic tissues (with some being taken back up by the liver). LDL having lost most of their triacylglycerols are rich in cholesterol and cholesterol esters and represent the route by which cholesterol is transported form the liver to the tissues (although all tissues can make cholesterol to some extent).
As VLDL particles are transported in the bloodstream, Lipoprotein Lipase catalyzes triacylglycerols removal by hydrolysis.
With removal of triacylglycerols and some proteins, the % weight that is cholesterol esters increases. VLDL are converted to IDL, and eventually to LDL.
VLDL IDL LDL
The lipid core of LDL is predominantly cholesterol esters. Whereas VLDL contains 5 Apoproteins types (B-100, C-I, C-II, C-III, & E), only one protein, Apoproteins B-100, is associated with the surface monolayer of LDL.
Cells take up LDL by receptor-mediated endocytosis. The cholesterol in LDL is then used by cells, e.g., for synthesis of cellular membranes.
The LDL receptor was identified by M. Brown & J. Goldstein, who were awarded the Nobel prize.
The LDL receptor is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein with a modular design.
Function is to transport endogenously synthesised TAG to the extra hepatic tissues where it can be stored as fat or to muscles where the constituent fatty acids can be used for energy. The cholesterol is delivered to extra hepatic tissues once VLDL has been metabolised to LDL
