What is Hyperlipidemia?
Hyper- Lipid -Emia
Excess Fat A condition
of the blood
Hyperlipidemia is excessive amounts of
fatty substances in the blood (aka
Hyperlipemia).
Three Types of Lipids
OSimple Lipids
OCompound Lipids
ODerived Lipids
Simple Lipids
O Triacylglycerol aka Triglyceride
(storage form of fat; mostly adipose tissue)
O Saturated and Unsaturated Fats
O “Neutral Fats”

Compound Lipids
O Simple Lipid + Phosphate = Phospholipid
O Lipid Bilayer of cell membranes
O Simple Lipid + CHO Group (Galactose) = Glycolipids
O Nerve cell membrane (esp. myelin sheath)
O Blood Lipids (Triglyceride, Phospholipid, or Cholesterol)
+ PRO (Apolipoprotein)
Lipoprotein
O 5 Types: Chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL
O Principle means for lipid transport in the blood
O Without this process, blood lipids would float to the top
LIPID + ANOTHER COMPOUND = COMPOUND LIPID

Derived LipidsO Substances derived from Simple and Compound
Lipids.O Cholesterol (most widely known, exists only in animal
tissue)O Exogenous Cholesterol
O Food Intake
O Endogenous CholesterolO Synthesized within the body
O 50-200 mg daily
O The body forms more cholesterol when SFA intake is high because SFA facilitates cholesterol synthesis in the liver.
O Serves many rolesO Helps synthesize hormones
O Component for bile
O Building of plasma membranes

Lipoproteins
O Chylomicrons = Apolipoprotein + Exogenous
Triglyceride
O Synthesized in mucosa of intestine from dietary fat
O After fatty meal, blood is so full of chylomicrons that it
looks milky
LipoproteinsO Very-Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) =
Apolipoprotein + Endogenous Triglyceride (↑ %)
+ Cholesterol
O Synthesized in the liver
O Primary transport mechanism for endogenous
triglyceride to muscle and tissue when needed
Lipoproteins
O Intermediate Density Lipoproteins (IDL)
O Intermediate step in changing VLDL into LDL.
O Lipoprotein Lipase (enzyme) acts on VLDL to
change it into LDL
LipoproteinsO Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL)- “Bad” Cholesterol
O Principle carrier of cholesterol
O Greatest affinity for cells in arterial wall
O LDL oxidizes here, which causes damage and
narrowing to artery walls
Lipoproteins
O High Density Lipoproteins (HDL)- “Good” Cholesterol
O Reverse cholesterol transport
O Moves cholesterol from artery walls, back to the liver
where intestinal tract excretes it
LipoproteinsO Metabolism of lipoproteins is altered by:
O Gender
O Age
O Body Fat Distribution
O Dietary Composition
O Cigarette Smoking
O Certain Medications
O Genetics
O Physical Activity

197.7 mg/dL
O Youth
O 20.3% had at least one abnormal lipid level (LDL,

ComplicationsO Possible Primary and Secondary
Complications of High Cholesterol
O Atherosclerosis
O Coronary Artery Disease
O Stroke
O Heart Attack (which can result in death)
O Possible Complications of High Triglyceride
O Pancreatitis
Treatment- Lifestyle
O Lose excess weight (even 5-10 lbs. can help)
O Eat heart-healthy foodsO Get <10% daily cals from SFA, replace with MUFA if necessary
O Eliminate Trans FatO Do not eat anything with “partially hydrogenated” oil on the
ingredients list
O Limit dietary cholesterol to <300 mg/day or <200 mg/day for those with heart disease
O Increase fiber intake
O Drink alcohol in moderationO If you already consume alcohol, then doing so in moderation may
increase HDL levels- but starting to drink just for this effect is not necessary
O Exercise regularly
O Don’t smoke
Treatment- DrugsO Statins-
O Block a substance the liver needs to make cholesterolO Hydroxymethylglutaryl-coenzyme A
reductase aka HMG-CoA reductaseinhibitors
O Allows liver to remove cholesterol
O Also may help the body reabsorb cholesterol from deposits on artery walls
O Examples: Lipitor, Lescol, and Altoprev
http://www.aboutredyeastrice.co
m/images/lipitor.gif
Treatment- Drugs
O Bile-acid Binding Resins-
O Liver uses cholesterol to make bile acids
O These medications bind directly to bile
acids, causing the liver to use excess
cholesterol in order to synthesize more bile
O Examples: Prevalite, Welchol, and
Colestid

Treatment- Drugs
O Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitors-
O Reduces blood cholesterol by limiting the
absorption of dietary cholesterol from the small
intestine before it is released into the blood
O Example: Zetia
O Zetia can be combined with any of the statin
drugs

Treatment- DrugsO Fibrates-
O Decrease triglycerides by reducing the liver’s production of VLDL (contains mostly triglyceride) and speeding up the removal of triglyceride from the blood
O Examples: Lofibra, Lopid, and TriCor
O Niacin-
O Decreases triglycerides by limiting the liver’s ability to produce LDL and VLDL
O Prescription Niacin has least side-effects; OTC Niacin not effective and may damage liver
O Example: Niaspan

Effects on Ability to Exercise
O Dyslipidemia alone does not affect the exercise response
O Many times other conditions are prevalent, so those conditions must be considered
O People with excessively high levels of cholesterol should achieve medical management of dyslipidemia before beginning an exercise program on their own
O Supervised exercise is recommended
O All prescribed medications should be taken into account before testing or training
Effects of Medication on Exercise
O Muscle damage and toxicity (rhabdomyolosis)
may occur when combining statins with niacin
and fibrates
O Muscle discomfort is a side-effect of statin use
O Many of the prescribed medications can cause
muscle tenderness, weakness or pain
O Exercise may enhance/worsen all of these side
effects!
Acute Effects
O Total plasma cholesterol levels rise immediately post-exercise (≈24% increase), including LDL & HDL
O Due to changes in plasma volume which are a result of vigorous exercise
O Return to baseline within 60 minutes post-exercise
O Increases in HDL found about 48 hrs P.E.
O Decrease in plasma-triglyceride concentration
O Triglycerides form from excess calories; exercise reduces this
Chronic EffectsO Endurance exercise consistently lowers triglycerides
O Attributed to increases in skeletal muscle & adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity (enzyme for breakdown of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins)
O Reduction in postprandial lipemia
O Decrease in body fat lowers triglycerides
O Exercise increases size of LDL so they cannot get into linings of heart/blood vessels and cause damage
O Stimulates enzymes that help move LDL from the blood to the liver, where it is converted to bile and excreted.
O ↑ amounts of exercise = ↑ amounts LDL expelled
Exercise Testing
O If dyslipidemia is congenital and without symptoms, exercise testing can follow the usual guidelines for individuals at risk for CAD
O If dyslipidemia shows and signs/symptoms of comorbidities, testing should follow the recommendations for the particular disorder
O Primary objectives of testing are to:O Diagnose CAD
O Determine functional capacity
O Determine proper intensity range for aerobic exercise training
O Special Considerations for individuals with HyperlipidemiaO High risk of cardiac and arterial insufficiency
O Intravascular sludging and ischemia can result
Exercise TestingMethods Measures
Aerobic
• Cycle (ramp protocol 17 W/min;
staged protocol 25-50 W/3 min
stage)
• Treadmill (1-2 METs/3 min stage)
• 12-lead ECG,
HR
• BP, RPP
• RPE (6-20)
Endurance
• 6 min walk • Distance
Exercise Prescription
O Should complement dietary modifications and
lipid lowering medications
O Moderate intensity exercise (40-80% of VO2max)
O ≥5 days per week, 1-2 times per day (depending
on individual)
O Incorporates resistant training at 60-80% of 1RM
O Incorporates flexibility exercises to decrease risk
of injury
Summary
O Hyperlipidemia is an asymptomatic condition in
which there are elevated amounts of fatty
substances in the blood
O Triglycerides <150 mg/dL, Total Cholesterol <200
mg/dL, LDL <200 mg/dL, and HDL ≥60 mg/dL are
desirable
O Hyperlipidemia can lead to atherosclerosis, CAD,
stoke or MI
Summary
O Decreasing blood lipids requires lifestyle
modification (diet, exercise, weight loss and not
smoking) and possible prescription medication to
lower cholesterol or triglycerides in the blood
O Exercise testing for individuals w/o other
conditions can follow ACSM’s guidelines for
people who are at risk for CAD
O Exercise prescription should include moderate
intensity aerobic exercise training which has been
shown to decrease blood lipids
