"Dyslipidemia" refers to an abnormality within the lipid profile, encompassing a variety of disorders relating to elevations in total cholesterol, LDL, or TG, or conversely, lower levels of HDL.

Apolipoproteins have many roles in lipid metabolism, which are presented in Table II. Table III lists several major enzymes involved in lipoprotein metabolism that have been identified.

The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange). This head is connected to a glycerol (green) with two hydrophobic tails (purple) called fatty acids.
