Question
Answer
What kind of diet decreases LDL Levels   Low cholesterol diets  
🗑
High HDL levels are a ______________ risk factor for coronary heart disease.   negative  
🗑
What decreases HDL levels?   smoking  
🗑
What increases HDL levels   exercise  
🗑
Serum trigylceride levels are proportional to ___________   VLDL levels in a fasted condition  
🗑
APO C-II   cofactor activator of lipoprotein lipase (LPL)  
🗑
APO-E   ligand for binding of several lipoproteins to the LDL receptor  
🗑
Lp(a)   used to predict coronary heart disease  
🗑
3 Lipoprotein subclasses   VLDL-C LDL-C HDL-C  
🗑
chylomicrons   transport dietary lipids to where they need to go  
🗑
Chylomicrons only occur in the __________ state.   fed  
🗑
Chylomicrons synthesis occurs   outside the liver in the intestinal epithelial cells  
🗑
Very Low Density Lipoproteins carry hepatically synthesized TG to   skeletal muscles and adipose cells  
🗑
VLDL are made in the _____________.   Liver  
🗑
HDL donates ______ to VLDL to activate ___________.   Apo CII; LPL  
🗑
Lipoprotein synthesis induced by   insulin  
🗑
VLDL that leaves the liver   was synthesized in the liver or delivered to teh liver from teh diet by chylomicron remnants  
🗑
VLDL becomes   IDL  
🗑
IDL becomes   LDL  
🗑
IDL   Intermediate Density Lipoprotein  
🗑
IDL are turned to LDL in the __________   liver  
🗑
IDL is recognized in the liver by   hepatic LDL receptors  
🗑
Conversion of IDL to LDL (3)   1. Core TG are removed from IDL increasing density 2. Cholesterol esters are transferred from HDL to IDL (uses LCAT) 3. TG are transferred from IDL to HDL to make it more dense LDL  
🗑
LDL delievers cholesterol to ____________   extra hepatic cells  
🗑
LDL comes from   some comes from the VLDL and some comes from the HDL addition of cholesterol ester to the IDL as they become LDL  
🗑
Uptake of LDL by extra-hepatic cells occurs via   LDL receptors on the cell's surfaces  
🗑
De-esterified cholestol delevered by LDL inhibits synthesis of   HMG-CoA reductase  
🗑
Inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase results in   extra-hepatic cholesterol synthesis  
🗑
LDL utilization in extra-hepatic cells   some is esterified by ACAT  
🗑
Deficits in extra hepatic LDL receptors limit   extra-hepatic LDL uptake  
🗑
LDL delivers cholesterol to _____________.   extra-hepatic cells  
🗑
IDL density in comparison   VLDL < IDL < LDL  
🗑
de-esterified cholesterol leads to _________   down regulation of the genes for LDL receptor synthesis  
🗑
Down regulation of LDL receptor synthesis allows _______________   entry into the cell of only the amount of cholesterol needed  
🗑
LRP   LDL receptor-related protein  
🗑
LRP function   recognizes a wider range of lipoproteins adn lipoprotein fragments than does teh LDL receptor  
🗑
LRP differs from LDL receptor because __________   it is not affected by cellular cholesterol levels  
🗑
LRP may help ____________   decrease serum lipoprotein levels  
🗑
Familial Hypercholestemia   genetically defective LDL receptors occur and LDL levels become extremely high  
🗑
95% of elevated LDL levels caused by _______   multifactorial hypercholesterolemia due to a combination of dietary, behavioral, and genetic factors  
🗑
Elevated HDL levels correspond with a   decrease risk of coronary heart disease  
🗑
Where are HDL synthesized?   Liver  
🗑
Roles of HDL (3)   HDL activate Lipoprotein Lipase Pick up cholesterol resulting from cell membrane degradation Retrun some cholesterol directly to the liver  
🗑
How to control serum LDL levels   limiting dietary cholesterol and saturated and trans fatty acids; depends on genetic make up  
🗑
Pharmachological treatment of lowering LDL   statin drugs inhibit HMG CoA reductase Bile and cholesterol sequestering drugs decrease bile acid reabsorption and dietyar cholesterol absorption  
🗑
Lipoprotein (a)   Lp(a) thought to be a marker or predictor for cardiovascular disease  
🗑
Lp (a) found to be elevated ___________   post-MI  
🗑
Lp(a) promotes ________ when oxidized   atherosclerotic plaque formation  
🗑
New research findings indicate (2)   1. lipoproteins themselves are the risk factor 2. HDL and LDL are not each a specific Lipoprotein but rather occur in sub types  
🗑
Sub-types of lipoproteins are associated with   amounts of risk of coronary heart disease  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
