Chlomicron


[Structure of sinusoidal cells and sinusoidal wall]
Sinusoidal cells are a collective term for four types of cells that exist in the sinusoidal cavity, sinusoidal wall, and surrounding areas, including endothelial cells, Kupffer cells, vitamin A-storing cells, and pit cells. Endothelial cells are thin, spreading cells that form the sinusoidal wall, and have many small holes with a diameter of approximately 100 nm, through which plasma and small chylomicrons (also called milky lipid particles, plasma lipoprotein particles formed in the lymphatic system of the small intestine) freely leak out of the sinusoidal wall. The sinusoidal endothelium and parenchymal cells are separated by a narrow gap called the space of Disse. …

From [Cholesterol]

…Plasma lipoproteins are classified into four fractions based on their specific gravity. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins that transport dietary triglycerides, cholesterol, etc. from the intestine to adipose tissue and the liver. They are large particles rich in triglycerides and have a light specific gravity. Chylomicrons lose triglyceride molecules in peripheral tissues and become remnant lipoproteins rich in cholesterol, which are taken up by the liver. …

From [Lipoprotein (Lipoprotein)]

…Although there are insoluble proteins that have fatty acids covalently bonded to the protein portion, such as lipoproteins, which are components of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli, the term generally refers to water-soluble proteins found in plasma, egg yolk, milk, etc. Those in plasma are classified into chylomicrons, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), low density lipoproteins (LDL), high density lipoproteins (HDL), and very high density lipoproteins (VHDL), in order of decreasing specific gravity, and the lipid and protein composition differs between each. All of them have a structure in which non-polar lipids are located in the center and are surrounded by polar lipids and protein components, contributing to the transport of water-insoluble lipids throughout the body. …

[類洞細胞と類洞壁の構造]
 類洞細胞は,類洞腔,類洞壁,および類洞周囲に存在する4種の細胞の総称であり,内皮細胞,クッパー細胞,ビタミンA貯蔵細胞,およびピットセルが含まれる。内皮細胞endothelial cellは薄く広がって類洞壁を形づくる細胞で,ほぼ100nm直径の小孔が多数あき,血漿や小型のカイロマイクロンchylomicron(乳状脂粒ともいい,小腸のリンパ系で形成された血漿リポタンパク粒子)は自由にこの孔を通って類洞壁の外へ漏出する。類洞内皮と実質細胞との間は,ディッセ腔space of Disseと呼ばれる狭い間隙で隔てられている。…

【コレステロール】より

…血漿リポタンパク質は比重の差により四つの分画に分類されている。カイロミクロンchylomicronは食事性のトリグリセリド,コレステロールなどを腸管から脂肪組織と肝臓に運搬するリポタンパク質であり,トリグリセリドに富んだ大粒子で比重は軽い。カイロミクロンはトリグリセリド分子を末梢組織で失い,コレステロールに富んだレムナントリポタンパク質となって肝臓にとり込まれる。…

【リポタンパク質(リポ蛋白質)】より

…大腸菌外膜の構成成分であるリポタンパク質のように,タンパク質部分と共有結合で結合した脂肪酸をもつ不溶性タンパク質もあるが,通常は血漿(けつしよう),卵黄,ミルクなどに存在する水溶性のものを指す。血漿中のものは比重の小さいものから,カイロミクロンchylomicron,超低密度リポタンパク質(VLDL),低密度リポタンパク質(LDL),高密度リポタンパク質(HDL),超高密度リポタンパク質(VHDL)に分類され,それぞれの間で脂質,タンパク質組成が異なる。いずれも中心部に非極性脂質をもち,その周囲を極性脂質,タンパク質成分が包む構造をとり,非水溶性の脂質の体内輸送に寄与している。…
