Cholesterol, fatty substances, and cellular wastes combine to form plaques in the arteries, which can contribute to atherosclerosis. This condition narrows and hardens the arteries, increasing the risk of Heart disease and stroke. These plaques can disrupt normal blood flow and may eventually lead to serious cardiovascular issues if not managed properly.
What else can I help you with?
What are the fatty substances that travel in the blood in packages called lipoproteins commonly known as?
cholesterol
The general term used to describe elevated levels of cholesterol and other fatty substances in the blood?
Hyperlipidemia
What is fatty substance found in all animal tissue?
cholesterol
What are the fatty substances in the blood called?
Fatty substances in the blood are commonly referred to as lipids. These include cholesterol and triglycerides, which are essential for various processes in the body but can lead to health issues if levels are too high.
How many fatty acids in cholesterol esters?
Cholesterol esters typically contain one fatty acid molecule esterified to a cholesterol molecule. Therefore, each cholesterol ester consists of a single fatty acid chain linked to cholesterol. The specific type of fatty acid can vary, leading to different types of cholesterol esters, but the number of fatty acids remains one per cholesterol ester.
What are the fatty substances found in certain foods and manufactured by the body?
The fatty substances found in certain foods and manufactured by the body are called lipids. They include triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Lipids play important roles in energy storage, cell membrane structure, and hormone production.
Does cholesterol have fatty acids?
no.
Nitrogenous wastes is it creatinine or fatty acid or lipid or carbon dioxide or sugar?
Nitrogenous wastes are waste substances which contain nitrogen. Generally these are produced in the liver by the breakdown of unwanted amino acids. Most of the waste (in mammals) is in the form of urea, but smaller amounts of other substances, such as creatinine, are also produced. Carbon dioxide only contains carbon and oxygen. Sugar and fatty acids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some lipids (phospholipids) may contain small amounts of nitrogen.
Does cholesterol have any fatty acids?
No, cholesterol is a lipid molecule itself and does not contain fatty acids. Cholesterol is a sterol molecule, while fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid functional group.
Are there fatty acids in cholesterol?
Cholesterol itself is not a fatty acid; it is a type of sterol, which is a complex lipid. However, cholesterol is often found in association with fatty acids in the body, particularly in cell membranes and lipoproteins. While both cholesterol and fatty acids are important components of lipids, they have distinct chemical structures and functions.
What fatty substance builds up on the walls of arteries?
cholesterol
Is cholesterol a type of fat?
No. But fatty foods are usually high in cholesterol.
