1.
Your diet has a direct impact on the type of LDL your body produces. A healthy diet leads to large, bouyant particles and an unhealthy diet leads to a small, dense LDL particles
2.
HDL removes surplus triglycerides from the periphery and transports it to the liver for disposal
3.
________packages the fat we consume and transports it from our small intestine to the liver.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
4.
_______is(are) a class of lipoproteins formed in the degradation of very-low-density lipoproteins; some are cleared rapidly into the liver and some are degraded to low-density lipoproteins.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
5.
Their levels are genetically determined and remain relatively stable over an individual's lifetime.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
6.
__________transport cholesterol from the tissues of the body back to the liver through a process called reverse cholesterol transport, so the cholesterol can be eliminated in the bile.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
7.
__________transports cholesterol to the tissues of the body. It is therefore considered the "bad" cholesterol.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
8.
Of the lipoprotein types produced by the liver, ______contains the highest amount of triglyceride. Because it contains a high level of triglyceride, having a high level means you may have an increased risk of coronary artery disease
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
9.
Please select all the lipoproteins that occurs as part of a healthy diet lipid pathways
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
10.
Which of the following are unique to an unhealthy diet lipid metabolism pathway?
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
11.
Fundamentally, triglycerides provide energy whereas cholesterol supports structure and function
12.
Lp(a) is genetically similar to _______________thus promoting clot formation in arteries burdened by atherosclerotic plaque. This may be one of the mechanisms behind the involvement of Lp(a) in heart attack and stroke.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
13.
Which of the following statements are true regarding lipoprotein particles and atherosclerosis?
A. 
Smaller particles more easily infiltrate the vessel wall, initiating the atherosclerotic process
B. 
More particles means more opportunity for infiltration to occur.
C. 
Higher cholesterol content can result in a more rapid advancement in atherosclerosis.
D. 
All of the above are true
14.
Regular aerobic exercise, loss of excess weight (fat), and cessation of cigarette smoking may increase HDL cholesterol levels.
15.
An HDL cholesterol of _______or higher gives some protection against heart disease
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
16.
Lp(a) is considered to be ____ more atherogenic (disease causing) than LDL cholesterol.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
17.
What 2 lipoprotein particles are not present in the HEALTHY LDL metabolic Pathway:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
18.
What statements are true concerning the LDL metabolic pathway?
A. 
As particles progress along the pathway, their cholesterol load increases as a percent of total load
B. 
As particles progress along the pathway, their triglyceride load decreases as a percent of total load
C. 
As particles progress along the pathway, their apoprotein concentration increases as a percent of total
D. 
All of the statements are correct
E. 
19.
Elevated Lp(a) presents a far greater risk than elevated LDL because it is both atherogenic and thrombogenic
20.
One difference between Chylomicrons and VLDL is that chylomicrons originate from the liver whereas VLDL originates from the small intestines
21.
In unhealthy lipoprotein metabolism (unhealthy eating), more particles are created than the body can use and remove, causing a greater particle load to progress through the metabolic pathway, with the particles getting progressively more cholesterol-rich throughout the process. This leads to an increased number of particles that are high in cholesterol, thus increasing the patient’s risk for atherosclerosis.
22.
VLDL and VLDL3 are differentiated by: (mark all that apply)
A. 
B. 
Their Relative cholesterol content
C. 
D.
