A client asks, “Why do I have clogged arteries but my neighbor has higher 'bad
cholesterol' levels and yet he is just fine?” The health care provider bases the reply on
which of the following physiological principles about lipoprotein?
A) “Your neighbor probably has higher amounts of good cholesterol (HDL) as well.”
B) “You more than likely have small, dense type of 'bad cholesterol' (LDL).”
C) “Your neighbor has larger 'bad cholesterol' particles that can move into blood
vessels but park in joints/tendons.”
D) “You must have a genetic predisposition to having clogged arteries.”
Ans: B
Feedback:
There are different types of LDL, and some people with markedly elevated LDL do not
develop atherosclerotic vascular disease, whereas other people with only modest
elevations in LDL develop severe disease. Small, dense LDL is more toxic or atherogenic
to the endothelium than large, buoyant LDL. It is more likely to enter the vessel wall,
become oxidized, and trigger the atherosclerotic process.
2.Which of the following would be considered a major cause of secondary
hyperlipoproteinemia since it increases the production of VLDL and conversion to LDL?
A) High-calorie diet
B) Diabetes mellitus
C) Bile-binding resin
D) Cholesterol ingestion
Ans: A
Feedback:
Obesity with high-calorie intake increases the production of VLDL, with triglyceride
elevation and high conversion of VLDL to LDL. Excessive cholesterol intake reduces
formation of LDL receptors. Diabetes is associated with high triglycerides and minimal
elevation of LDL. Bile salt–binding resin is one treatment used to lower cholesterol
levels.
3.Which elevated serum marker for systemic inflammation is now considered a major risk
factor for atherosclerosis and vascular disease?
A) Leukocytosis
B) Homocysteine
C) Serum lipoprotein
D) C-reactive protein
Ans: D
