Lipoprotein

Lipoprotein (Lipoprofein) is a representative of a group of complex proteins present in lymph and blood plasma, which are compounds of proteins with lipids. Lipoproteins play an important role in the process of transfer of lipids with blood and lymph. Thus, cholesterol is carried in the blood in the form of one of the low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Cholesterol is removed from the blood by binding to special LDL receptors present in cell membranes, which are then taken up by the cells. Another type of lipoprotein is high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low-density lipoprotein.

Lipoproteins (LP) are complex proteins that are present in the blood and lymph. They are compounds of lipids and proteins. LPs play an important role in the transfer of lipids from the blood to other organs and tissues.

One type of drug is low-density drug (LDL). Cholesterol is carried in the blood as LDL. In this case, LDL binds to special receptors on the surface of cells that absorb it.

Another type of drug is high-density drug (HDL). HDL removes cholesterol from the blood and carries it to the liver for processing. HDLs can also remove low-density lipoproteins from the blood.

Another type of drug is very low density drug (VLDL). VLDLs are formed in the liver and transport cholesterol from the liver to the blood.

In general, lipids play an important role in the metabolism of cholesterol and other lipids in the body. An imbalance between LPs can lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Therefore, the study of drugs and their role in the body is an important area of ​​modern medicine.

Lipoproteins (from the ancient Greek λίπος - fat + πρωτότεινον - protein) are a heterogeneous composition and structure of fat-like substances that arise during the hydrolysis of lipoprotein food particles and are contained in the bloodstream and tissues of the human body or vertebrate animals. Some lipoprotein complexes with a clear structure are called highly specific protein fractions or apoproteins.

Lipoproteins perform important transport and regulatory functions in the body. Play a role in maintaining
