How are lipids carried - answeron lipoproteins in the blood because they are insoluble in
water
Proteins found
... [Show More] on lipoproteins - answerapolipoproteins
Density of lipoprotein with less lipid and greater protein - answermore dense
Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein - answerless dense
Major bloodstream lipoproteins - answerchylomicrons, vLDL, LDL, HDL
Chylomicrons - answerleast dense of the lipoproteins and are triglyceride-rich particles
that are formed in the intestine
Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found - answerTransport dietary fat
and can be found in the bloodstream at highest concentration soon after a meal
Least to most dense lipoprotein particles - answerChlyomicron, vLDL, LDL, HDL
lipoprotein that is the most atherogenic of all lipoproteins - answerLDL
LDL carries - answer60-70% of the cholesterol in the blood
HDL carries - answer20-30% of the cholesterol in the blood
Equation for total LDL-C in bloodstream - answerLDL= TC-(HDL-C-(TG/5))
When does calculating LDL-C become inaccurate - answerwhen TG exceeds 400mg/dL
Desirable total cholesterol level - answer<200
Borderline high total cholesterol level - answer200-240
High total cholesterol level - answer>240
Optimal TG level - answer<150
Borderline high TG level - answer150-199
High TG level - answer200-499
Very high TG levels - answer>500
Optimal in men HDL levels - answer>40
Optimal in women HDL levels - answer>50
Optimal LDL-C levels - answer<100
Near optimal LDL-C levels - answer100-129
Borderline high LDL-C levels - answer130-159
High LDL-C levels - answer160-189
Very high LDL-C levels - answer>190
Hypertriglycerdemia is associated with high levels of - answerVLDL-C
Non-HDL-Cholesterol calculation - answerHDL-C - Total cholesterol
Atherogenic dyslipidemia - answerElevated levels of TG, low HDL-C and only modest
elevations of LDL-C
Metabolic syndrome - answerrequires the presence of any 3 of the following conditions:
