Extractions: Coronary artery disease remains the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States. The correlation with hyperlipidemia is alarmingly clear: More than half of cases of heart disease are attributable to lipid abnormalities. The goal of this symposium is to emphasize the importance of controlling hyperlipidemia to reduce the incidence of heart disease. Epidemiologic studies have identified a number of traditional and emerging risk factors for coronary artery disease, and modification of these factors has been shown to be effective primary and secondary prevention. However, questions regarding primary prevention remain unanswered. For example, at what age should lipid-lowering therapy be started? In the first article in this symposium, I discuss the known risk factors for heart disease and offer a rational approach to risk assessment and treatment in individual patients.

Extractions: Overview There are two main lipids found in the blood, cholesterol and triglycerides , also known as serum lipoproteins . Cholesterol is an essential chemical within the body, without it we will die. Yet, if our blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are too high, we are at risk for coronary artery disease which is a major cause of death in the United States today. Cholesterol is an essential element contained in all human cell membranes; it is a structural component of steroid hormones and bile acids. Triglycerides are important in helping to transfer energy from food into body cells. Lipoproteins are categorized based on how dense they are. Density is based on the amounts of cholesterol triglycerides and apoproteins. The densest and smallest are called high-density lipoproteins or

Extractions: by Chick Newman Introduction Etiology Lipid Classification Graphics ... Treatment Introduction: Primary idiopathic hyperlipidemia has been reported to be familial in Miniature Schnauzers and Beagles, and some mixed breeds. It has been seen sporadically in other breeds, e.g. Poodles and Shelties, as well, Infrequently it has been reported in cats. Secondary hyperlipidemia occurs as a result of another disease process. For example, it has been seen in association with diabetes pancreatitis hyperadrenocorticism and hypothyroidism Etiology: This is a metabolically complex disease of lipid -lipoprotein metabolism and the exact etiology is not fully appreciated. The familial type in schnauzers may involve defects lipoprotein lipase and/or Apoprotein C-II , a required cofactor for lipoprotein lipase activity (see figure below for roles of enzyme and cofactors in lipid metabolism). This defect causes a failure to breakdown chylomicrons (most common) and/or VLDL , and results in excessive levels of circulating triglycerides. It is the elevated concentration of triglycerides that is responsible for the clinical signs Classification: Lipids are derived from exogenous chylomicrons ) and endogenous sources. Lipids have been classified as:

Extractions: This is a newborn mini donkey and her mother at a zoo where I used to work. The mother is way too fat for a donkey. The big neck is all fat deposits. This picture is typical of the types of donkeys that are most likely to be affected by hyperlipidemia. Momma got put on a diet to help her health out. Hyperlipidemia is a disease that affects very fat donkeys, mules and ponies. Horses can also be affected, but not as often. The prognosis for this disease is not very good. Usually, more that 60% of animals affected, will not live. The purpose for this page is to help donkeys owners learn more about this problem and to be aware of the signs and treatment of this disease so that you can pass this information on to your vets. Many vets are not aware of this problem in donkeys. What is Hyperlipidemia and what causes it? Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which there is an elevated level of lipids(fat) in the blood stream. This includes both triglycerides and cholesterol being elevated. Hyperlipidemia can be caused by a genetic defect that affects fat metabolism. However, many cases of hyperlipidemia are actually secondary results of a different disease like diabetes or cushings disease. Obesity combined with stress of some type is one of the major factors leading to the hyperlipidemia. Other factors include hormonal imbalances, or losing weight to rapidly. Because of this sudden weight loss, or stress, the body hormones mistakenly think that the donkey is starving and causes the release of large amounts of fat that have been stored in the body cells. Due to the large amounts of fat in the blood stream, the brain also releases another hormone that shuts off the animals appetite.

Familial Lecithin Cholesterol Acyltransferase Deficiency [General] Hyperlipidemia (hyperlipoproteinemia): Elevated lipoprotein levels in the plasma, which may be primary or secondary. (See also Atherosclerosis in Ch. 201.) The major plasma lipids, including cholesterol (or total cholesterol [TC]) and the triglycerides, do not circulate freely in solution in plasma, but are bound to proteins and transported as macromolecular complexes called lipoproteins. The major lipoprotein classes chylomicrons, very low density (pre- ) lipoproteins (VLDL), low density ( -) lipoproteins (LDL), and high density ( The fate of LDL is unclear: The liver removes about 70%, and active receptor sites have been found on the surfaces of hepatocytes and other cells that specifically bind to apolipoprotein B (apo B, the ligand associated with LDL that binds with LDL receptors) and remove most LDL from the circulation. A small but important amount of LDL appears to be removed from the circulation by non-LDL receptor pathways, including uptake by scavenger receptors on macrophages that may migrate into arterial walls, where they may become the foam cells of atherosclerotic plaques. Hypercholesterolemia can result either from overproduction or defective clearance of VLDL or from increased conversion of VLDL to LDL. Overproduction of VLDL by the liver may be caused by obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcohol excess, nephrotic syndrome, or genetic disorders; each condition can result in increased LDL and TC levels and often is associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Defective LDL clearance may be due to genetically determined structural defects in apo B (the ligand) that diminish the binding of apo B to otherwise normal LDL receptors. Alternatively, reduced clearance may be due to diminished numbers or abnormal function (low activity) of the LDL receptors, which may result from genetic or dietary causes. Genetically mediated abnormal LDL receptor function usually results from molecular defects in the protein structure of the receptorsthe usual mechanism of the genetic disorders described below.
