Summary Introduction

To review:

The diet group having highest LDL (low-density lipoprotein) to HDL (high-density lipoprotein) ratio. The results of the study are shown in the table given below:

Effect of Diet on Lipoprotein levels (mg/dL or milligram per deciliter)
cis Fatty acids Trans Fatty acids Saturated Fats Optimal level
LDL 103 117 121 <100
HDL 55 48 55 >40
LDL-to-HDL ratio 1.87 2.43 2.2 <2

Introduction:

Lipoproteins are made up of proteins and lipids. These molecules help in the transportation of lipids (mainly cholesterol) in the blood or extracellular fluid. The phospholipids are present on the exterior while other lipids lie in the interior. Phospholipids are oriented in such a way that the hydrophilic part is on the outer side while the hydrophobic part is on the inner side.

On basis of density, lipoproteins are classified as Ultra Low-Density Lipoproteins (ULDL), Intermediate Density Lipoproteins (IDL), Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDL), LDL, and HDL. The LDL and HDL are of clinical importance and are classified as bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, respectively.

Kindly answer numbers 18, 19 and 2018. In terms of human body response to dietary fat, which of the following is considered to be“good fat”?a. Trans-fatb. Saturated fatsc. Monounsaturated fatsd. Polyunsaturated fats19. Linolenic acid and Linoleic acid, the essential fatty acids, are respectively,a. 16:1 and 18:1 fatty acidsb. 18:2 and 18:3 fatty acidsc. 18:3 and 18:2 fatty acidsd. 20:5 and 22:6 fatty acids20. A lipid is any substance of biochemical origin that isa. Soluble in water but insoluble in nonpolar solventsb. Insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solventsc. Soluble in both water and nonpolar solventsd. Insoluble in both water and nonpolar solvents
According to current dietary recommendations, trans fat intake should be limited. How is this best accomplished?  Group of answer choices Select foods containing manufactured rather than naturally occurring trans fats. Read labels to select foods that say “polyunsaturated fatty acid free.” Choose foods with <10% of calories from saturated fat per serving and no hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list. Use fat replacers, such as olestra, which provide the same nutrient content as regular fats without being saturated. Avoid all processed foods such as bakery items, packaged cookies, and store-bought bread.
Select the FALSE answer regarding lipids and diet (there is only one).      olive and avocado oil are examples of monounsaturated fatty acids     humans in countries like the USA currently eat an excess of omega 6 fatty acids relative to omega 3 fatty acids     algae-based supplements of omega 3s are an option for those avoiding animal-based foods or potential mercury contamination.     hemp and flax seeds, dark leafy greens, and walnuts are all good sources of omega 3 fatty acids     transfats are saturated fats that have been made to behave as unsaturated fats     Imbalance in consumption of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids contributes to the abundance of inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease, in the USA.
