Define lipids
|
biological compounds that are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water
|
|
List the biological functions of lipids
|
metabolic fuel
building block for cell membrane insulation & buffer against injury hormones vitamins |
|
state the clinically important lipids
|
cholesterol
triglycerides bile acid/salt prostaglandins |
|
Cholesterol use in assessing clinical disorders
|
assess risk of developing CAD
management of diabetes mellitus |
|
Triglycerides use in assessing clinical disorders
|
assess risk of CAD
management of diabetes mellitus malabsorption disorder |
|
Bile acid/salt use in assessing clinical disorders
|
assessment of liver function
|
|
State the main types of cholesterol fractions
|
HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol
|
|
What are the pre-analytical factors that can affect blood cholesterol
|
Diet, exercise, age, sex, race, stress
|
|
principle of the routine method used to determine total cholesterol
|
cholesterol esterase
1)cholesterol ester -------------cholesterol + fatty acid Cholesterol Oxidase 2)cholesterol +O2--------------Cholesterol-3-one + H2O2 3) 2H2O2 + trinder's reagent peroxidase + p-HBS--------------- Quinoneimine + H2O (Red Dye) |
|
Principle of the method used to determine HDL cholesterol
|
VLDL& LDL are removed with a precipitating reagent PEG, centrfugation allows supernatant to be removed then the HDL cholesterol assayed as for total cholesterol
|
|
Principle of the method used to determine LDL cholesterol
|
determination of LDL via calculation
LDL=total cholesteol -(HDL+Triglycerides/2.175)mmol/L direct method LDL separated via immunoseparation reagent which binds with HDL &VLDL, centrifugation isolates LDL then assayed with enzymatic cholesterol method |
|
What are the limitations of the LDL calculation method
|
-it is unreliable when triglyceride values > 3.39mmol/L
-the precipitating reagent used for HDL can affect the value |
|
what are the risk factors for developing CHD
|
increase serum lipids
hypertension cigarette smoking diabetes mellitus obesity |
|
Bile acid/salt use in assessing clinical disorders
|
assessment of liver function
|
|
Principle of the method used to determine Triglycerides
|
Lipase
1)TG---------glycerol+ fatty acids GK 2)glycerol+ATP------glycerol-3-phosphate+ADP G3PO4 3)G3P+O2----------Dihydroxacetone phosphate+H2O2 4)2H2O2 + trinder's reagent peroxidase + p-HBS--------------- Quinoneimine + H2O (Red Dye) |
|

|
|
what are lipoprotiens
|
spherical macromolecules made of lipids and proteins (apoproteins)
|
