b) Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the major carrier of cholesterol in the blood. Whereas the levels of LDL and modified LDL forms in the plasma are important predictive markers to gauge the risk of cardiovascular events. There is a need to develop reliable rapid assays for quantifying LDL and its modified forms, such as, the biosensors. i. List two major parts of a biosensor. ii. List three examples of biological substance which being recognized as sensing elements for a biosensor. iii. Suggest two drawbacks of beta quantification on LDL measurement.

A person consumes 100 micrograms of a tracer chemical. Assume that the person is able to collect allof the tracer in their urine (and therefore measure the amount that has come out of the body), as wellas the concentration in the blood, as a function of time (see table below).c is the value of V that you determined equal to the blood volume of the person? Does this makesense to you? If not, what does V represent?

List two types of drugs that could help further lower the blood cholesterol levels. 2. For each drug, state the mechanism by which the drug lowers blood cholesterol levels.
Why is the risk of toxicity greater for fat-soluble vitamins than water-soluble vitamins? Question 72 options: a) Fat-soluble vitamins are excreted in the urine along with water-soluble vitamins b) Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver while water-soluble vitamins are not c) Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are not readily excreted and can accumulate in tissue d) Fat-soluble vitamins, in supplement form, are more bioavailable, compared to water-soluble vitamins
A creatinine clearance is done on a patient with the following results: serum creatinine, 0.6 mg/dL; urine creatinine, 102 mg/dL; urine volume, 1650 mL/24 hours; body surface area, 1.93 m2. Based on the information from calculations above, which of the following is the best interpretation of this patient's creatinine clearance results? 1) Within the normal range 2) Above normal, probably because the 24-hr urine collection was not completed correctly 3) Above normal 4) Below normal no references, just homework
