KROK 1 2013 – Question 194 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
A patient underwent a course of treatment for atherosclerosis. Laboratory tests revealed an increase in the antiatherogenic lipoprotein fraction in the blood plasma. The treatment efficacy is confirmed by the increase in:
- A. HDL
- B. LDL
- C. VLDL
- D. IDL
- E. Chylomicrons
Hint
Decide in which direction cholesterol has to be moved, relative to the vessel wall, for a lipoprotein fraction to protect against atherosclerosis.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
