Scope note: Clase de lipoproteínas en partículas de pequeño tamaño (4-13 nm) y densas (más de 1,063 g/ml). Las lipoproteínas HDL, sintetizadas en el hígado sin una porción central lipídica, acumulan ésteres de colesterol a partir de los tejidos periféricos y los transportan al hígado para su reutilización o eliminación del organismo (transporte de colesterol inverso). Su principal componente proteico es la APOLIPOPROTEÍNA A-I. También, las HDL hacen de lanzadera de las APOLIPOPROTEÍNAS C y APOLIPOPROTEÍNAS E a las lipoproteínas ricas en triglicéridos durante su catabolismo. La concentración plasmática de HDL se ha correlacionado de modo inverso con el riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares.

Scope note: A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Annotation: hyperalphalipoproteinemia = LIPOPROTEINS, HDL /blood (IM) + HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIAS (IM); hypoalphalipoproteinemia = LIPOPROTEINS, HDL /blood (IM) + HYPOLIPOPROTEINEMIAS (IM); familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia = TANGIER DISEASE; /defic: consider also HYPOLIPOPROTEINEMIAS
