Update
Which of the following diseases results from a familial absence of high density lipoprotein?
Tangier disease
Which of the following lipid results would be expected to be to be elevated on a serum
specimen from a non-fasting patient? triglyceride
A 9-month-old boy from Israel has gradually lost the ability to sit up, and develops seizures. He
has an increased amount of a phospholipid called GM2-ganglioside in his neurons, and he lacks
the enzyme hexosaminidase A in his leukocytes. These findings suggest: Tay-Sachs
disease
In amniotic fluid, the procedure used to determine fetal lung maturity is:
lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio
Chylomicrons are present in which of the following dyslipidemias? deficiency in
lipoprotein lipase activity
, The function of the major lipid components of the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) is to
transport: endogenous triglycerides
Turbidity in serum suggests elevation of: chylomicrons
Following overnight fasting, hypoglycemia in non-diabetic adults is defined as a glucose of:
<=55 mg/dL (<=3.0 mmol/L)
The following results are from a 21-year-old patient with a back injury who appears otherwise
healthy:
whole blood glucose: 77 mg/dL (4.2 mmol/L)
serum glucose: 88 mg/dL (4.8 mmol/L)
CSF glucose: 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L)
The best interpretation of these results is that: all values are consistent with a normal
healthy individual
