Lipoproteins - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


HYPOLIPIDEMIC DRUGS

Major lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides play essential roles in the body, but their excess can lead to hyperlipidemia and related conditions. This overview covers the biosynthesis of cholesterol, triglycerides, and the transport of lipids in the bloodstream, discussing the importance of lipo

Understanding Lipoproteins: Structures and Functions

Lipoproteins are compound lipids formed by the aggregation of neutral and amphipathic lipids with proteins (apoproteins). They serve as vehicles for transporting lipids through the bloodstream and lymphatic system, acquiring polarity due to their hydrophilic properties. These macromolecules are synt

Understanding Dyslipidemia and Lipoprotein Disorders

Plasma lipids are transported in complexes called lipoproteins. Dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated cholesterol, triglycerides, or low HDL cholesterol, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Learn about lipid metabolism, dyslipidemia management approaches, and the role of pharmacy p

Understanding Paper Electrophoresis in Biochemistry Research

Paper electrophoresis is a powerful technique used in biochemistry to separate charged particles like proteins based on their migration along a filter paper strip. This method, conducted by Dr. Nisha Sharma, an Associate Professor at C.S.J.M. University in Kanpur, involves applying samples to the pa

Classification of Proteins in Animal Nutrition: Simple Proteins vs. Conjugated Proteins

Proteins in animal nutrition are classified into two main groups: simple proteins and conjugated proteins. Simple proteins can be further divided into fibrous and globular proteins based on their shape, solubility, and chemical composition. Fibrous proteins, such as collagens, elastin, and keratins,
