| best predictor of early CAD in adolescent and young adult |
Apo A-1 : Apo B |
| Marker for inflammation |
C- Reactive Protein |
| Promotes atherosclerotic plaquing, thrombus formation, & hyperviscosity |
Fibrinogen |
| hydrogenation of oil yeilds 60%......? |
cis-Linoleic |
| generally associated with increased LDL, & decreased HDL & atherosclerotic plaquing |
saturated fats |
| 18C in animal fat & cocoa butter) does not ↑LDL |
Steric Acid |
| 16C in animal fat & palm kernel oil - did ↑ LDL |
Palmatic Acid |
| ↓ LDL, VLDL, AND HDLs! |
Polyunsaturated fats |
| ↓ LDL, ↑HDL, & ↓ lipid peroxidation |
Oleic Acid |
| Delta-6 desaturase converts linoleic acid to |
GLA |
| Delta-6 desaturase o Converts alpha linolenic acid to |
EPA |
| Exercise 5 or more times per week reduce HD chance to |
46% |
| o 20-40% of all heart patients have |
hyperhomocystinemia |
| protein synthesized by the liver which is necessary for normal blood clotting |
fibrinogen |
| flush is caused by release of histamine from mast cells assoc. with |
niacin or nicotinic acid |
| excess vitamin can damage smooth myo |
D |
| vitamin inhibits lipid peroxidation |
E |
| regulates and protects arterial endothelium |
E |
| ↑ the ability of the heart to metabolize FAs thereby ↑ing energy & ↓ing angina |
Carnitine |
| can decrease total cholesterol & TGs while ↑ing HDLs |
Carnitine |
| red meat is good source for |
carnitine |
| o Facilitates cellular respiration |
CoQ10 |
| CoQ10 AKA |
Ubiquinone -- concentrated in the heart myo |
| supplemental to reverse atherosclerosis |
chromiun and soy lecithin |
| vegetable reputed to lower cholesterol |
2 raw carrots per day |
| vegetable that lowers BP due to 3-n-butyl phthalate |
raw Celery |

| Independant predictor of Prostate CA |
Calcium intake (incr intake incr risk) |
| leading risk factor for Prostate Cancer mortality. |
consumption of animal fat |
| double risk of Non-hodgkins lymphoma |
high red meat consumption |
| whole milk intake and high consumption of saturated fats |
associated with lung cancer |
| antioxidants that induces apoptosis in tumor cells without affecting normal cells |
glutathione, Beta Carotene, Vitamin E |
| preferred substrate for CA cells |
glucose |
| best predictor of whether a woman’s breast cancer recurs |
high insulin levels |
| inhibits conversion of AA to PGE2 |
Oleic Acid (olive oil) |
| inhibits tumor angiogenesis |
Gamma linolenic acid (evening primrose) |
| promotes tumorigenesis and mets |
excess Omega 6 (linoleic acid) |
| more protection against prostate cancer than any other dietary factor |
soy |
| active anticarcinogen in soy (antiangiogenic properties) |
genestein |
| anti carcinogenic traditional chinese formula |
PC Spes |
| common denominator in Pt.’s w/ idiopathic & gouty stone formation |
a low urinary pH |
| most common cause kidney stones |
