Problem Set 1.1 Explain Lipoprotein Physiology
Problem Set 1
1. Explain lipoprotein physiology and metabolism (Chapter 15).
- Lipoproteins are a biochemical formation that aid with the transporting of lipids. The four major pathways include Lipid absorption pathway, exogenous pathway, endogenous pathway and reverse cholesterol transport pathway. All of these pathways are dependent on a particular particle know as apo-B that contains lipoproteins which, functions as a transport for dietary and Hepatic lipids to the outer layers of the cells. During the metabolism of these lipoproteins, fatty acids are produced during the lipolysis of many triglycerides.
2. Describe the laboratory tests used to assess lipids and lipoproteins, including principles and procedures. (Chapter 15)
- The test used to assess lipids includes cholesterol measurement which is a measure of total serum cholesterol. The procedure includes the extraction via an organic solvent such as hexanes …show more content…
A coronary heart disease or similar risk diseases with a concentration of greater than 100mg/dL. For a high density lipoprotein with a concentration greater than 40mg/dL. Negative risk factors include HDL concentration of 60 mg/dL or greater and a LDL of 100mg/dL or below.
7. Classify carbohydrates into their respective groups. (Chapter 14)
- Carbohydrates can be classified into several different groups. There is general classification where it can be based on the number of carbons present. They can be classified as aldehyde and ketones. The number of sugars present in the molecule can also classify it: mono-, di-, oligo- and poly- saccharides.
8. Discuss the metabolism of carbohydrates in the body and the mode of action of hormones in carbohydrate metabolism. (Chapter
