Effects of Dietary Fats on Lipoprotein Levels Cholesterol that is made by the liver or that enters the body from food does not dissolve in blood, so it is carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) carries cholesterol to body tissues such as artery walls, where it can form deposits associated with cardiovascular disease. Thus, LDL is often called bad cholesterol. Highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) carries cholesterol away from tissues to the liver for disposal, so HDL is often called good cholesterol. In 1990, Ronald Mensink and Martijn Katan published a study that tested the effects of different dietary fats on blood lipoprotein levels. Their results are shown in Figure 2.23. In which group was the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) highest?

Figure 2.23 Effect of diet on lipoprotein levels. Researchers placed 59 men and women on a diet in which 10 percent of their daily energy intake consisted of cis fatty acids, trans fatty acids, or saturated fats. Blood LDL and HDL levels were measured after three weeks on the diet; averaged results are shown in mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). All subjects were tested on each of the diets. The ratio of LDL to HDL is also shown. Source, Mensink RP, Katan MB, Effect of dietary trans fatty acids on high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy subjects. NEJM 323(7):43945. An elevated risk of heart disease has been correlated with increasing LDL-to-HDL ratios. Rank the three diets according to their predicted effect on cardiovascular health.

What characteristic is common to all lipid molecules? The are composed of primarily carbon and oxygen atoms. They are most typically charged molecules. They are only located in cell membranes. They do not dissolve in water.
Which of the following are true about carbohydrates? It is linked to lipids (hormones) It has C=O It is linked to proteins (cell membrane) It provide energy in glucose form It has HC=O?
Which of the following statements are true about lipids? There may be more than one correct answer so make sure to check all answers that are true. Fats tend to be liquid at room temperature while oils tend to be solid. A saturated fat contains fatty acids that only have single bonds between each carbon in the carbon chain. The presence of multiple double bonds in a fatty acid make it more likely that the overall lipid will be a liquid at room temperature. Phospholipids are able to form a phospholipid bilayer due to the fact that they contain a polar component at the "head" of the molecule, and a long and relatively straight non-polar component at the "tail" of the molecule Fats, lipids, and steroids all have the same general structure involving a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
