The 16 pages that link to Lipoprotein, each with the reason it gives.

• AtherosclerosisNarrower topic: Lipoproteins carry cholesterol and triglycerides through the circulation toward or away from artery walls.

• CholesterolNarrower topic: Lipoproteins carry cholesterol between the intestine, liver, and peripheral tissues.

• PhospholipidCompared with: Lipoproteins package phospholipids with cholesterol, triglycerides, and proteins rather than forming cell membranes.

• Low-density lipoproteinNarrower topic: LDL is one member of this transport-particle family.

• Omega-3 fatty acidRelated: Dietary omega-3s circulate in lipoproteins after absorption and processing.

• HepatocyteRelated: Hepatocytes package triglycerides and cholesterol into lipoproteins for circulation.

• LipidRelated: It makes hydrophobic lipids transportable through blood and other aqueous environments.

• High-density lipoproteinNarrower topic: HDL is one class in this broader family of lipid-transport particles.

• Lipid metabolismRelated: Lipoproteins distribute dietary and liver-derived lipids between tissues.

• DyslipidemiaNarrower topic: Dyslipidemia often reflects abnormal amounts or types of circulating lipoproteins.

• YolkRelated: Yolk lipoproteins package fats that embryos can use for energy and membranes.

• Docosahexaenoic acidRelated: Dietary DHA travels in lipoprotein particles before uptake by tissues.

• Ancel KeysNarrower topic: Lipoproteins explain how blood cholesterol travels and relates to arterial disease.

• UltracentrifugeRelated: Density-gradient ultracentrifugation separates lipoproteins by buoyant density.

• AbetalipoproteinemiaNarrower topic: The disorder is defined by failure to assemble a major family of these transport particles.

• Tangier diseaseNarrower topic: HDL is one class of lipoprotein whose formation is impaired in this disorder.
