Quiz Lipids and Lipoproteins
When triglycerides (TAGs) are metabolized , their fatty acids are released to the cells
and converted into energy – provide excellent insulation. *
True
False
Since only 3–5% of the fatty acids in serum are unesterified, this procedure to
determine the esterified fatty acids is often satisfactory as measure of the total fatty
acids of serum. *
True
False
Stool with normal and 1+ amounts of fatty acids may show as many as 100 tiny
globules per HPO with diameters between 1–4 micra. If the amount is 5+ there is
clinical steatorrhea. *
True
False
The polyunsaturated and cis-monosaturated fatty acids are associated with elevated
serum LDL cholesterol. *
True
False
Large amount of fatty acids is present in plasma (free unsterified form), less is bound
to albumin. *
True
False
Apo AI in combination with Apo AII and Apo CI is responsible for the removal of free
cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues. *
True
False
TAG and cholesterol are the most important lipids in the management of coronary
artery disease (CHD). *
True
False
LDL-Z is currently considered the most important value in assessing cardiac risk and
directing therapy. *
True
False
In fatty acids, the classification As to Chain is a saturated (without double bonds) fatty
acids or unsaturated (with double bonds) fatty acids. *
True
False
The four major lipoproteins classes can be identified based on Particle size, Chemical
composition, Flotation characteristics, physicochemical properties and
Electrophoretic mobility. *
True
False
Familial Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency is also known as Familial Chylomicronemia. *
True
False
The uptake into tissue cells and subsequent oxidation into acetyl Co–A which can be
further, oxidized to carbon dioxide and water via the Kreb’s or monocarboxylic acid
cycle take place. *
True
False
The most hydrophobic lipids, such as fatty acids and phospholipids, are located in the
core of the lipoprotein particle. *
True
False
Free Fatty Acids are determined by titrating with alkali after direct extraction with a
non–polar solvent. *
True
False
It is the breakdown or hydrolysis of the substance such as triglycerides into fatty acids
and glycerol occurs through the action of the lipase. *
It is present when elevated plasma lipoproteins have been clinically important in the
genesis of atherosclerosis and pancreatitis *
These are protein units found in lipoproteins but not yet incorporated into their
respective lipoprotein particles. *
In the principle of total fatty acids, it is extracted by refluxing with alcohol–ether and
the extract is saponified with KOH. The fatty acids are precipitated, separated and
titrated with standard KOH. *
It is a major lipoprotein and the largest and least dense of the lipoprotein particles. *
In this pathway, the production of TAG from FA by the liver take place, with synthesis
of VLDL particles containing apo B100 and apo E. *
These are linear chains of carbon-hydrogen bonds that terminate with a carboxyl
group. *
It is also known as density gradient and is the reference method for quantitation of
lipoproteins (LPPs). *
It contains 3 molecules of fatty acid and one molecule of glycerol by ester bonds. *
It is a test for lipid that used to detect derangement of lipid metabolism and for
assessing susceptibility to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. *
It aids in the solubilization of the lipids and also in their transfer from the
gastrointestinal tract to the liver, which contains specific receptors for
apolipoproteins. *
The presence of this and hydroxyl group in the sterol’s structure makes it possible for
cholesterol to carry out a colorimetric assay. *
It is a recessive disorder wherein plant sterols are absorbed and accumulate in
plasma and peripheral tissues. *
In fatty acids, the __ and cis-monosaturated fatty acids are not associated with
elevated serum LDL cholesterol. *
Cholesterol increases with age, with women having lower values than men before the
age of what? *
It is a lypolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes TAG and phospholipids from HDL; hydrolyzes
lipids on VLDL and IDL. *
Each mole of phosphorus contributes about __ to the total Phospholipid mass; thus,
phospholipid mass can be determined by multiplying the phospholipid phosphorus
concentration expressed in mg/dL) by 25. *
These are large macromolecular complexes of lipids with specialized proteins known
as apolipoproteins. *
