🗑
true/false: cholesterol is only in animal foods and is made by the body   show
🗑
cholesterol dietary sources   show
🗑
show type of lipid needed to make cell membranes and for proper functioning of nerve cells;  
🗑
what are phospholipids needed for?   show
🗑
show phosphate head is water soluble (hydrophilic) while the two tales are not (hydrophobic). phosphate heads face the watery outside environment of the cell while the tails are faced inwards towards each other  
🗑
show naturally in plant and animal foods  
🗑
lecithin   show
🗑

🗑
show a chemical that transmits messages between nerve cells  
🗑
show substance that helps fat-soluble and water-soluble compounds mix with each other  
🗑
why would manufacturers add emulsifiers to foods?   show
🗑
show false; they are found in many foods and the body makes phospholipids, but they can occur during pregnancy  
🗑
show enzymes that break down lipids  
🗑
show in the stomach  
🗑
what emulsifier is needed for fat digestion?   show
🗑
where is bile produced?   show
🗑
show the gallbladder  
🗑
what do absorptive cells remove?   show
🗑
true/false: cholesterol undergoes digestion   show
🗑
show about 50%  
🗑
in absorptive cells, what are fatty acids and monoglyceride molecules reassembled into?   show
🗑
show a thin layer of protein, phospholipids, and cholesterol to form chylomicrons  
🗑
show a type of lipoprotein  
🗑
lipoprotein   show
🗑
show cells in walls of tiny blood vessels (capillaries) release a lipase that breaks down the chylomicron's load of fat into fatty acids and glycerol. nearby cells pick them up and metabolize them. chylomicrons are reduced to small-cholesterol rich particles  
🗑
what does the liver do with the small cholesterol-rich particles from chylomicroons?   show
🗑
show lipoprotein that transports a high proportion of lipids in the bloodstream  
🗑
where are most bile salts absorbed?   show
🗑
show the liver  
🗑
show it makes new bile with the old bile salts  
🗑
how does eating foods with soluble fiber interfere with the bile salt recycling process?   show
🗑
show without a supply of recycled bile salts, the liver has to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream to make new bile salts. as a result, blood cholesterol drops, which is good for health  
🗑
show fat cells; specialized cells that store fat  
🗑
what do adipose cells do?   show
🗑
show adipose cells break down triglycerides, releasing fatty acids and glycerol into bloodstream.  
🗑
show by converting it into glucose for energy  
🗑
how do macronutrients in general cause weight gain?   show
🗑
show heart disease and stroke  
🗑
true/false: CVD is one of the five leading causes of death in u.s.   show
🗑
what percentage of deaths in the u.s. came from heart disease and stroke combined?   show
🗑
show during adolescence and young adulthood  
🗑
atherosclerosis   show
🗑
show flexible, tubelike structures that have a smooth lining  
🗑
show when excess cholesterol, glucose, or cigar smoke compounds irritate the lining of an artery. the immune system responds by producing inflammation within the artery  
🗑
how does inflammation create arterial plaque?   show
🗑
show they block the opening through which blood flows in an artery. this makes arteries less flexible, which causes the heart to work harder to pump blood through the stiff vessels. plaque roughens arteries, slows blood flow, and causes blood clots to form  
🗑
how do blood clots affect blood vessels?   show
🗑
angina   show
🗑
heart attack   show
🗑
stroke   show
🗑
peripheral vascular disease (PVD)   show
🗑

show abnormally high blood pressure levels that persist  
🗑
show at or above 130/180 mm Hg  
🗑
healthy blood pressure level   show
🗑

🗑
which lipoprotein is the smallest and densest?   show
🗑
what happens to VLDLs?   show
🗑
show LDLs. about 45% of the volume of a lipoprotein is cholesterol  
🗑
LDL functions   show
🗑
how HDLs are made   show
🗑
why are HDLs considered good cholesterol?   show
🗑
show because they are more likely to be involved in plaque formation in atherosclerosis, but not all LDLs are unhealthy  
🗑
show free radicals can damage small, dense LDLs. results in oxidized LDL cholesterol. arterial cells that form plaque take up oxidized LDL  
🗑
show true  
🗑
what stimulates VLDL production in the liver?   show
🗑
what does VLDL carry a high amount of?   show
🗑
what increases risk of CVD?   show
🗑
key risk factors for atherosclerosis   show
🗑
inherited risk factors for atherosclerosis   show
🗑
show increase physical activity, quit smoking/avoid exposure to smoke, limit salt intake, manage blood pressure, stress, and weight, eat fiber-rich foods, reduce added sugars and alcohol, eat unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats  
🗑
show 20 to 35% of total calories  
🗑
show true  
🗑
general effects of saturated fats (SFA)   show
🗑
show monounsaturated fats generally lower LDL and raise HDL  
🗑
show trans fats raise LDL cholesterol levels while reducing healthy HDL levels  
🗑
general effects of polyunsaturated fats   show
🗑
how to monitor risk of atherosclerosis   show
🗑
desirable total cholesterol level   show
🗑
optimal LDL cholesterol level   show
🗑
show less than 40 mg/dl for men and 50 mg/dl for women  
🗑
show greater than or equal to 50 mg/dl  
🗑
acceptable triglyceride cholesterol level   show
🗑
unhealthy triglyceride cholesterol level   show
🗑
show less than 10%. it is important to keep them as low as possible while eating a healthy diet  
🗑
dietary recommendations for fat consumption   show
🗑

🗑
show fatty saltwater fish, shellfish, flaxseeds, soybeans, walnuts, algae, fish oil supplement (if necessary)  
🗑
ways to reduce saturated and trans fat calories   show
🗑
show Don’t add salt while preparing food or before eating it. Use less salad dressings. When ordering food at a restaurant, request that no salt be added during its preparation. Read Nutrition Facts panels to monitor types of fat.  
🗑
what to do if making lifestyle changes does not lower CVD   show
🗑
show by interferring with livers metabolism of cholesterol  
🗑
show inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol  
🗑
