Using immunofluorescence techniques, apoLDL, the major protein component of human plasma low and very low density lipoproteins was localized in athersclerotic lesions from the aorta, coronary, and carotid arteries in human normolipoproteinemic, type II, and type IV hyperlipoproteinemics. Although no apoLDL was detected in uninvolved arteries, atheromas from advanced lesions as well as certain collagen and elastic fibers from both fatty streaks and advanced lesions were positive for apoLDL. This localization pattern was the same in each lipemic group, except for the presence of apoLDL in some intimal cells from type II cases. However, extensiveness of apoLDL localization was greatest in the type II group, but equal in the normolipemic and type II group. This may be explained by the high concentration gradient between plasma and tissue for apoLDL in the type II group.

D006949 Hyperlipidemias Conditions with excess LIPIDS in the blood. Hyperlipemia,Hyperlipidemia,Lipemia,Lipidemia,Hyperlipemias,Lipemias,Lipidemias
D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008079 Lipoproteins, VLDL A class of lipoproteins of very light (0.93-1.006 g/ml) large size (30-80 nm) particles with a core composed mainly of TRIGLYCERIDES and a surface monolayer of PHOSPHOLIPIDS and CHOLESTEROL into which are imbedded the apolipoproteins B, E, and C. VLDL facilitates the transport of endogenously made triglycerides to extrahepatic tissues. As triglycerides and Apo C are removed, VLDL is converted to INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS, then to LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS from which cholesterol is delivered to the extrahepatic tissues.
