Lipoproteins are substances made of protein and fat that carry cholesterol through your bloodstream.
Apolipoproteins are proteins that bind lipids (oil-soluble substances such as fat and cholesterol) to form lipoproteins. They transport lipids (and fat soluble vitamins) in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and lymph.
APO A1 – Associated with HDL cholesterol
APO B – Associated with LDL cholesterol
High APO A1 is good and Low APO B is good.
Apolipoprotein A is a protein carried in HDL (“good”) cholesterol. It helps start the process for HDL to remove unused cholesterol from your body.
Apolipoprotein B-100 (also called apolipoprotein B or apo B) is a protein that is involved in the metabolism of lipids and is the main protein constituent of lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
