Question

Can someone answer this for me and cite the source using APA 6th referencing style.

1. What are the functions of various apolipoproteins

2. How are chylomicrons formed? How do they reach the circulation starting

from the intestines?

3. How does chylomicron transfer its lipid content to various tissues?

4. How does the intestinal pathway of lipoprotein metabolism work?

5. How does the hepatic pathway of lipoprotein metabolism work?

6. What happens to chylomicron remnants after the hydrolysis of its triglyceride

content (at least two events)?

7. VLDL also contains cholesterol and has Apo B-100 that can interact with LDL

receptors. Why is that it gives only its triglyceride contents to cells?

8. What are the two fates of VLDL remnants?

9. How does LDL deliver cholesterol to cells? Explain the mechanism

10. What are the two types of reverse cholesterol transfer pathways? Explain

each.

11. What is the clinical significance of lipid and lipoprotein testing?

12. What lipids and lipoproteins are associated with a higher risk of developing

CHD?

13. Aside from certain lipids and lipoproteins, what acute phase reactant is

considered as a sensitive predictor of risk for CHD?

14. What are the various methods used in measuring lipids and lipoproteins?

Explain each.

15. What are the reference methods for the following?

Triglycerides

Total cholesterol

HDL-C

LDL-C

Lipoproteins (HDL, VLDL, Lp(a), LDL, Chylomicrons

16. What are the NCEP and ATP classifications of LDL, Total, and HDL Cholesterol?

17. What is the typical reference interval for triglycerides?
