D - for HDL dapat
8
Which is false about chylomicrons?
A.Largest and the least dense of the lipoproteins
B.scatter light, hence turbid/milky appearance of postprandial plasma
C.produced by the intestine where they are packaged with dietary lipids and apo B-100
D.in-charge of delivery of dietary lipids to hepatic and peripheral cells
C. apo B-48 dapat
9
False about VLDL
A.Produced by the liver
B.Contains apo B-100 – main apolipoprotein

D.major carriers of endogenous (from
synthesis of the body) triglycerides
C. They do not form a creamy top layer
10
high levels of intermediate-density lipoproteins are found in patients with familial hyperlipoproteinemia. why?x
Due to an abnormal form of apo E that delays the clearance of IDL; Individuals affected have significant risk for peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD)
11
False about LDL
A. Large LDL particles have beenshown to be more proatherogenic and may be a better marker for CHD risk
B. Readily taken up by cells via the LDL receptor in the liverand peripheral cells
C. LDL particles have been separated through density ultracentrifugation or gradient gel electrophoresis
D. smaller particles are denser and have relatively more
triglyceride than cholesteryl esters
A
Smaller dapat
12
macrophages that take up too much lipid - what happens to them?
Filled with intracellular lipid drops o Turned into foam cells
predominant cell type of fatty streaks
early precursor of atherosclerotic plaques
13
false about lipoprotein (A)
A. Are LDL-like particles that contain one molecule of apo(a) linked to apo B-100 by a single ester bond
B. Lp(a) is larger than LDL and has a higher lipid content
and a slightly lower density
C. postulated to be removed @ kidneys
D. Have a high level of homology with plasminogen, a precursor of plasmin that promotes clot lysis via fibrin
cleavage
A
sulfide dapat
14
false about HDL
A.Transport cholesterol to liver for metabolism
B.The smallest and most dense lipoprotein particle
C.Is synthesized by liver only
C
liver and intestine dapat
15
most active form of HDL in removing excess cholesterol from peripheral cells
A. Discoidal
B. Spherical
C. equal lang
A
16
abnormal lipoprotein present in patients with biliary cirrhosis or cholestasis and in patients with mutations in lecithin:cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT), the enzyme that esterifies cholesterol
lipoprotein X
17
False about lipoprotein X
A.Is different from other lipoproteins in the endogenous pathway due to the lack of apoB-48
B.Phospholipids and non-esterified cholesterol are the lipid components
C.albumin and apoC are the main protein components D.mainly removed by the reticuloendothelial system of the liver and the spleen
A
apo B-100 dapat
18
false abt apolipoproteins
A.Are primarily located on the bottom of lipoprotein particles
B.Help maintain the structural integrity of lipoproteins
C.Also serve as ligands for cell receptors and as activators and inhibitors of the various enzymes that modify
lipoprotein particles
A
surface dapat
19
apolipoproteins contain a structural motif called an ___which accounts for the ability of these proteins to bind to lipids
amphipathic helix
20
identify
-- The major protein of HDL
-- Frequently used as a measure of the amount of the
antiatherogenic HDL present in plasma
apo A-1
21
differentiate apo B-100 fr Apo B-48
Apo B-100: LDL, VLDL
Apo B-48: chylomicrons
22
fill in the blanks
1. Patients who are homozygous for the __
isoform are at an increased risk for developing type
III hyperlipoproteinemia.
2. individuals with the __ isoform have been
shown to have an increased risk of developing
Alzheimer’s disease
1. apo E2
2. apo E4
23
These 3 processes depend on apo B–containing lipoprotein particles. These three pathways are critical in the transport to peripheral cells of fatty acids generated during the lipolysis of triglycerides and cholesteryl esters
Their net result is also the net delivery of cholesterol to peripheral cells,
identify the 3 processes
LIPID ABSORPTION PATHWAY, EXOGENOUS PATHWAY, AND ENDOGENOUS PATHWAY
24
false about reverse cholesterol transport pathway
A.principal way that peripheral cells maintain their cholesterol equilibrium
B.is mediated by chylomicrons
C. Excess cholesterol from peripheral cells is transported
back to the liver
D.excess cholesterol may be excreted into the bile as free cholesterol or after being converted to bile acids
B
HDL dapat
25
Which is true?
A.Men have higher HDL-C levels and lower total cholesterol and triglyceride levels than women
B.The difference in total cholesterol, however,
disappears after menopause as oestrogen decreases
C.Men and women both show a tendency toward increased total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglyceride
concentrations with age.
D.The incidence of heart disease is strongly associated with serum cholesterol concentration, particularly LDL-C.
A
Baliktad.
26
False about arteriosclerosis
A.The relationship between heart disease and dyslipidemias stems from the deposition of lipids in artery walls.
B.Lipid deposits are frequently associated with increases serum concentrations of LDL-C or decreased HDL-C
C.For patients with established heart disease, aggressive treatment to reduce HDL-C levels below 100mg/L (2.6mmol/L) or even lower is effective in stabilization, and sometimes regression of plaques.
C
