more dense
◉ Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein. Answer: less
dense
◉ Major bloodstream lipoproteins. Answer: chylomicrons, vLDL, LDL,
HDL
◉ Chylomicrons. Answer: least dense of the lipoproteins and are
triglyceride-rich particles that are formed in the intestine
◉ Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found. Answer:
Transport dietary fat and can be found in the bloodstream at highest
concentration soon after a meal
,◉ Least to most dense lipoprotein particles. Answer: Chlyomicron,
vLDL, LDL, HDL

, ◉ Hypertriglycerdemia is associated with high levels of. Answer:
VLDL-C
◉ Non-HDL-Cholesterol calculation. Answer: HDL-C - Total
cholesterol
◉ Atherogenic dyslipidemia. Answer: Elevated levels of TG, low HDL-
C and only modest elevations of LDL-C

following conditions: abdominal obesity, elevated TG, low HDL,
elevated BP and hyperglycemia
◉ Criteria for metabolic syndrome: Abdominal obesity. Answer: WC
>102 cm (40 in) for men
WC >88cm (35 in) for women
