Most plasma lipid abnormalities reflect an interaction between
genetic and lifestyle factors. This volume describes plasma lipid
transport, the various categories of plasma lipid disorders and the
relationship between plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and
atherosclerotic disease. It examines the contrasting role of LDL
and HDL in atherogenesis and also describes the possible
contributions of VLDL and chylomicrons. Cell surface receptors and
other key proteins playing an important role in plasma lipoprotein
regulation and metabolism are discussed, and the possible
contribution of oxidative damage to LDL atherogenicity is
considered. There is a final reflection on the effects of these
disorders on endothelial function. The information provided should
be useful to physicians and scientists interested in plasma lipid
transport and how abnormalities of plasma lipids and lipoproteins
relate to disease states.
