Fatty acids fulfill numerous functions in the human organism: they play part in various metabolic processes, as well as in cell differentiation and inflammation. Impact of fatty acids on lipid homeostasis, and in consequence on cardio-vascular diseases is among the most interesting and still unclear issues. It is believed that, in general, saturated fatty acids increase cholesterol concentration whereas unsaturated fatty acids decrease plasma level of both, cholesterol and triglycerides. This leads to a conclusion that the proportion of ingested fatty acids may have a substantial impact on cardio-vascular complications. The paper deals with the effect of ingested fatty acids on plasma lipids. Their impact on lipid synthesis, as well as on lipid elimination is discussed.

High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol,Cholesterol, HDL2,Cholesterol, HDL3,HDL Cholesterol,HDL(2) Cholesterol,HDL(3) Cholesterol,HDL2 Cholesterol,HDL3 Cholesterol,alpha-Lipoprotein Cholesterol,Cholesterol, alpha-Lipoprotein,alpha Lipoprotein Cholesterol
D008078 Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol which is contained in or bound to low density lipoproteins (LDL), including CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and free cholesterol. LDL Cholesterol,Cholesteryl Linoleate, LDL,LDL Cholesteryl Linoleate,Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol,beta-Lipoprotein Cholesterol,Cholesterol, beta-Lipoprotein,beta Lipoprotein Cholesterol
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.
