Is ATP chemically a lipoprotein?
No, it is a nucleotide.
A drug that blocks the action of lipoprotein lipase would?
be nice.
What lipoprotein is the primary carrier of lipid in the blood?
very low density
What are the 4 major lipoproteins?
(See link below)Chylomicrons are the least dense of all the lipoproteins and are basically just big balls of fat (triglycerides), with a makeup of about 90 percent fat, a touch of phospholipids, some cholesterol, and a smidgin of protein.VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) carries a great amount of fat, some phospholipids, and cholesterol. The high fat content of VLDL makes a large quantity of this lipoprotein in the blood undesirable.LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol) has only a fraction of the fat and double the protein of VLDL and is very high in cholesterol. This lipoprotein carries the majority of cholesterol in the blood and is considered the unhealthy one.HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) is a spherical blob of mostly protein (albeit a type different from that found in LDL), some cholesterol, phospholipids, and very little fat. The densest of all the lipoproteins, HDL is the healthy one.
What breaks apart triglycerides so they can be taken up by the cell?
lipoprotein lipase
What is the so-called bad cholesterol?
Low-density lipoprotein
Which lipoprotein is known to contribute to cardiovascular disease?
LDL- Bad Cholesterol
What lipoprotein contains the highest percentage of cholesterol and is known as the bad cholesterol?
LDL is about half cholesterol. (HDL is protein rich.)
What is the lipoprotein that is called a bad cholesterol?
ldl(low density lipid)cholestrol.
What does renal hypodensities mean?
Kidney or urinary lowdensity head in this example a cyst
What are the two types of lipoprotein?
high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein.
Which Lipoprotein analysis is coded CPT 83704?
NMR Lipoprotein test
What are two types of lipoproteins?
high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein.
What is the difference between bad and good cholesterol?
Bad cholesterol is low-density lipoprotein which can clog arteries and cause heart disease. Good cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein which takes cholesterol from the blood into the liver.
What lipoprotein is responsible for transporting cholesterol back to the liver form the periphery?
High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
What is the meaning of LDL and HDL?
OK so LDL is low density lipoprotein and HDL is high density lipoprotein. LDL is considered to be a bad cholesterol and HDL, a good colesterol. there is more on this topic here : http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=180
Is it bad to have high hdl levels?
HDL (high density lipoprotein) is considered your "good" cholesterol while LDL (low density lipoprotein) is considered "bad" cholesterol.
