lipoproteineken
Lipoproteineken, often referred to as lipoproteins, are complex particles composed of lipids and proteins that are essential for transporting fats and cholesterol throughout the body. These molecular assemblies are crucial for various physiological processes, including nutrient absorption, cell membrane structure, and hormone synthesis. Lipoproteins are characterized by a core of hydrophobic lipids, such as triglycerides and cholesterol esters, surrounded by a shell of amphipathic lipids like phospholipids and free cholesterol, with apolipoproteins embedded within.
The different types of lipoproteins are classified based on their density and size, which are largely determined
The balance of these lipoprotein levels is vital for cardiovascular health. Elevated levels of LDL can contribute
