Summary Introduction

To explain: The necessity to break the total serum cholesterol level into an LDL and HDL component.

Concept introduction: Cholesterol is a fatty substance required by our body to make hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids to aid the digestion. It is also needed to build and maintain the cell’s outer wall. It cannot dissolve in the blood and therefore, it is carried around by proteins. These fat and protein complexes are called lipoproteins.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The levels of LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol that are considered as normal.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The level of HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol that are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The type of drugs other than statins, affects the serum cholesterol levels.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The action of the drug against the cholesterol and the reason why they are used in combination.

carbons in each of the structures below. For instance, the central carbon of chloromethylbutane (pictured 3. A chiral carbon is a carbon that is single-bonded to four different types of groups. Identify the chiral above) is a chiral carbon. (Can you see how the groups attached to it are all chemically different?) In each of the chiral molecules below, identify all the carbons that are chiral carbons by drawing a circle around each one of them. (a) the carbohydrate glucose H O (b) the carbohydrate fructose CH₂OH 1C H-C-OH 3 HO-C-H 4 H-C-OH 5 H-C-OH 6CH₂OH D-Glucose (linear form) (c) the amino acid leucine O O H3C.

We always include controls in the Annexin-V-GFP/Propidium Iodide flow cytometric assay to study apoptosis. List four types of controls in this assay.  Why do we need these controls? Explain your answers.  After the flow assay, if we like to examine the morphology of the viable, early apoptotic and late apoptotic cells by confocal microscopy, what can we do and what are the expected results?
3. (2 points) Your lab partner accidentally used a pen instead of a pencil to mark the baseline and label the lanes of their TLC plate. Briefly (1-2 sentences for each point) describe (a) what would happen to the ink when you develop the TLC plate; and (b) how this would affect the experiment. 1
