About this listen
Picture an atherosclerotic artery as a crime scene. Cholesterol piles up on the walls — thick deposits blocking what should be a free-flowing highway of blood. For decades, cholesterol was blamed as the culprit. But here’s the twist: cholesterol is just the passenger. The real suspects are the lipoproteins — the vehicles smuggling cholesterol into places it doesn’t belong.
In this episode of LipidCurious, we’re stepping into the role of detective. We’ll assemble a lipoprotein from scratch, meet the different lipoproteins, and follow their pathways through the body.
Here’s what we’ll cover together:
1. Structure and types of Lipoproteins
2. Exogenous and endogenous pathways of lipid metabolism
3. How cholesterol-lowering medications leverage lipid biology
