Summary Introduction

To determine:

The molecular structure out of ( VLDLs , LDLs , and HDLs ) responsible for the transportation of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver.

Concept introduction:

Cholesterol molecules are not soluble in blood, so the cholesterol molecules can only be transported with the help of “water-soluble proteins”. There are three types of proteins for the transportation of lipids through the blood: VLDLs “Very low-density lipoproteins”, LDLs “Low-density lipoproteins”, HDLs and “High-density proteins”.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which lipoprotein particles contain “good” and “bad” cholesterol, and why are these terms used?
Which of the following statements regarding the synthesis and metabolism of lipoprotein complexes are TRUE?1) pre-HDLs are synthesized only in the liver2) VLDLs are metabolized by lipoprotein lipase3) HDLs are produced as derivatives in VLDL metabolism4) a high serum level of LDL increases the risk of myocardial infarction5) HDLs carry cholesterol esters and clear up the excess of cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues
On the right is a diagram of plasma concentration of three metabolites: glucose, B- hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid of an experimental animal over weeks of starvation. 4. (a) Label the lines with the names of the three metabolites. Yellow: Red: 10 20 30 40 Blue: Days of starvation (b) What factor in the plasma binds to and transports free fatty acid (c) Where was B-hydroxybutyrate produced? Why it is produced? What are the purposes of producing it (d) How B-hydroxybutyrate is used as fuel in extrahepatic cells? Write down the reactions, enzymes, and cofactors (No need to elaborate on the TCA cycle). (e) How many ATP molecules or equivalent are generated after complete oxidation of one molecule of B-hydroxybutyrate? Show your calculations. Hint: You need to consider ATP consumption for bypassed steps that may normally yield or consume AT Plasma concentration (mM)
