Summary Introduction
To determine:
The molecular structure out of (
Concept introduction:
Cholesterol molecules are not soluble in blood, so the cholesterol molecules can only be transported with the help of “water-soluble proteins”. There are three types of proteins for the transportation of lipids through the blood:

Which of the following statements regarding the synthesis and metabolism of lipoprotein complexes are TRUE?1) pre-HDLs are synthesized only in the liver2) VLDLs are metabolized by lipoprotein lipase3) HDLs are produced as derivatives in VLDL metabolism4) a high serum level of LDL increases the risk of myocardial infarction5) HDLs carry cholesterol esters and clear up the excess of cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues
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

- Absorbed from the intestines into the blood, nitrites (NO2-) interact with the hemoglobin of the blood and block its respiratory function, turning part of the hemoglobin (HbFe2+) into methemoglobin (HbFe3+), unable to transfer oxygen from the lungs to tissues.
