Chapter 23, Problem 25CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The choice to prefer high blood levels of HDLs or LDLs.
Introduction:
Cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in water and are unable to circulate freely in blood. Thus, they are bound to small complexes called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are made up of proteins and lipids, which can transport in and out of the cells. They can be of two types: HDL and LDL, based on their composition of lipids and proteins.

is this statement true or false?
Cholesterol is synthesized entirely from: a. Oxaloacetate b. Glycerol 3-phosphate c. Acetyl CoA d. Serine
Brown and Goldstein won the Nobel Prize for discovering the molecular basis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The key experiment that led to the breakthrough was that cells from FH patients responded to LDL by increasing cholesterol biosynthesis.

This patient loves their fish, and their diet is mostly fish (which contains the enzyme thiaminase). After experimenting with different ways of eating their fish, they’ve found that if they have cooked the fish, they don’t have symptoms of this disease; however, if they eat the fish raw, they continue having symptoms.
