Transport vesicles in the blood for most lipids are called?
lipoproteins
What are the test under of lipid profile?
1. The tests under a lipid profile are: · Total cholesterol · Triglyceride · Low Density Lipoproteins (LDLs) · High Density Lipoproteins (HDLs) · Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDLs) · Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio · Lipoprotein electrophoresis
The substances that serve as the major vehicles for fat transport in the bloodstream are?
Lipoproteins
Transport vehicles that function to remove excess cholesterol from body cells and transport it to the liver for elimination?
high density lipoproteins (HDL's)
Why do scientist use pig blood to create Photofrin?
They used pigs blood because pigs blood had porphyris. That is a natural chemical found in red blood cells that bind to lipoproteins. Lipoproteins carry cholesterol in our blood.
Where are very low-density lipoproteins made?
They are made in the liver
What are high-density lipoproteins made of?
High-density lipoproteins are made of lipoprotein particles, several proteins, some cholesterol, phospholipids, and a few triacylgylcerol.
Which organ forms lipoproteins?
The liver produces lipoproteins.
What is the outer layer of lipoproteins made of?
The outer layer is made of amphipathic phospholipids, free cholesterol, and apolipoproteins.
How many kinds of lipoproteins are there?
There are five major types of lipoproteins
Are lipoproteins produce by the small intestine?
yes, they can be..these lipoproteins are known as Chylomicrons.
What are Intermediate-density lipoproteins?
IDLs are short-lived lipoproteins containing about 30% cholesterol that are converted in the liver to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs)
What is the function of the lipoproteins?
Lipoproteins usually carry fat molecules from the intestine to the bloodstream. As lipoproteins are broken down, they release fats that the body needs for energy or to put in storage.
Which of the following plasma lipoproteins is the most soluble?
Lipoproteins are soluble in lipids; plasma is a suspension in blood.
What carries cholesterol from the blood to the liver to be degraded and exerted?
Lipoproteins
What form of fat is carried in the blood by lipoproteins?
Triglycerides are carried through the blood by lipoproteins according to my health class. It could also be cholesterol, which is also a fat and is carried by lipoproteins along with triglycerides.
What are low density lipoproteins?
Low density lipoproteins are the second smallest of the five major groups of lipoproteins. They enable the transport of fat molecules within the water around cells and within the bloodstream.
