allow cleavage to active

• SREBP-2 controls
cholesterol synthesis and

• SREBP-1c is the major
isoform in liver and is a
key regulator of fatty
acid & triglyceride
synthesis
Other nuclear receptors:
FXR, LXR.
LDL Receptor activity reflects
intracellular cholesterol homeostasis
Cholesterol delivery via LDL-R
alters intracellular membrane
cholesterol and SREBP, which
a) Reduces synthesis via
HMGCoA Reductase
b) Reduces LDL-R synthesis
c) Increases storage as ester
d) Reduces counter-regulatory

Triglyceride and Cholesterol:
Why are they linked?
• Most lipoproteins have TG and/or CE in their core
• Hepatic Triglyceride rich lipoproteins are precursors of
cholesterol-rich LDL
• Cholesterol-ester transfer protein allows all
triglyceride-rich lipoproteins to modify the composition
of cholesterol-rich HDL and LDL. As a result,
hypertriglyceridaemia is associated with reduced HDL
cholersterol as well as “small dense LDL”.
• The major gene regulators for lipid metabolism affect
both TG and Chol

spite of this, BHAT data showed that propranolol improves
survival after MI.26 Low-dose metoprolol CR/XL alone or in
combination with a statin resulted in significant slowing of the
progression of carotid artery’s intima-media thickness over a 3year period.27

How could you obtain an LDL-C result?
The case for “d”, but “c” is misleading
Lab Tests Online:
“Direct LDL-C is ordered whenever calculation of LDL cholesterol will
not be accurate because the person's triglyceridesare significantly
elevated. It may be ordered by a doctor when prior test results have
indicated high triglycerides. In some laboratories, this direct LDL test
will automatically be performed when the triglyceride levels are too high
to calculate LDL-C. This saves the doctor time by not needing to order
another test, saves the patient time by not needing to have a second
blood sample drawn, and speeds up the time to provide the test result.”
Ultracentrifuge gives absolute result. Detergent methods assume LDL
