Question
Chapter 18, Problem 17cCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between the lipoproteins carrying cholesterol with respect to their origin and the destination of the associated cholesterol.
Introduction:
An association of a lipid and a fat molecule constitutes a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins are associated with the transportation of lipids throughout the body. Cholesterol is also transported by the various classes of lipoproteins. ipoproteins are soluble in nature and hence, employed in lipid transport.

Explain why HDL lipoprotein particle is called “good” cholesterol.
On the right is a diagram of plasma concentration of three metabolites: glucose, B-
hydroxybutyrate, and free fatty acid of an experimental animal over weeks of starvation.

Blue:
Days of starvation
(b) What factor in the plasma binds to and transports free fatty acid
(c) Where was B-hydroxybutyrate produced? Why it is produced? What are the purposes of
producing it
(d) How B-hydroxybutyrate is used as fuel in extrahepatic cells? Write down the reactions, enzymes,
and cofactors (No need to elaborate on the TCA cycle).
(e) How many ATP molecules or equivalent are generated after complete oxidation of one molecule
of B-hydroxybutyrate? Show your calculations. Hint: You need to consider ATP consumption for
bypassed steps that may normally yield or consume AT
Plasma concentration (mM)
Explain why saturated (flat) fatty acids cause more plaque in blood vessels than unsaturated (gnarled) fatty acids. (Hint: First explain how lipid molecules are attracted to each other.)

- Explain, why high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as the "good" cholesterol?arrow_forwardWhat is the normal cholesterol level in human blood?arrow_forwardHemoglobin glycation (so named to distinguish it from glycosylation, which is the enzymatic transfer of glucose to a protein) is a non-enzymatic process that involves reaction of the N-terminal amino group of hemoglobin and glucose. The amount of glycated hemoglobin (GHB) is usually about 5% of total hemoglobin (and corresponds to a blood glucose concentration of 120 mg/100 mL). However, in people with untreated diabetes this value may be as high as 13%, which indicates an average blood level of about 300 mg/100 mL -dangerously high. One of the aims of insulin therapy is to maintain GHB values of about 7%. Draw a possible chemical scheme for the glycation of hemoglobin.arrow_forward
