How are lipids carried - answeron lipoproteins in the blood because they are insoluble in water Proteins found on lipoproteins - answerapolipoproteins Density of lipoprotein with less lipid and greater protein - answermore dense Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein - answerless dense Major bloodstream lipoproteins - answerchylomicrons, vLDL, LDL, HDL Chylomicrons - answerleast dense of the lipoproteins and are triglyceride-rich particles that are formed in the intestine Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found - answerTransport dietary fat and can be found in the bloodstream at highest concentration soon after a meal Least to most dense lipoprotein particles - answerChlyomicron, vLDL, LDL, HDL lipoprotein that is the most atherogenic of all lipoproteins - answerLDL LDL carries - answer60-70% of the cholesterol in the blood HDL carries - answer20-30% of the cholesterol in the blood Equation for total LDL-C in bloodstream - answerLDL= TC-(HDL-C-(TG/5)) When does calculating LDL-C become inaccurate - answerwhen TG exceeds 400mg/dL Desirable total cholesterol level - answer<200>240 Optimal TG level - answer<150>
