- Certain drugs designed to reduce blood cholesterol workby blocking the reabsorption of bile acids in the ileum.Explain why they would have this cholesterol-loweringeffect.arrow_forwardThe formation in the gallbladder or bile ducts of gallstones (crystals usually composed of cholesterol and inorganic salts) afflicts millions of people. Predisposing factors for this excruciatingly painful disorder include obesity and infection of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). Because cholesterol is virtually insoluble in water, it is solubilized in bile by its incorporation into micelles composed of bile salts and phospholipids. Gallstones tend to form when cholesterol is secreted into bile in excessive quantities. Suggest a reason why an obese person is prone to gallstone formation. [Hint: HMG-CoA reductase activity is higher in obese individuals.]arrow_forwardSome amino acids are both glucogenic and ketogenic. Explain the difference between the two types and why some amino acids can be both.arrow_forward
