Cholesterol content in blood serum of a 12-year-old boy is 25 mmol/l. Anamnesis states hereditary familial hypercholesterolemia caused by synthesis disruption of receptor-related proteins for:
- A. High-density lipoproteins
- B. Low-density lipoproteins
- C. Middle-density lipoproteins
- D. Chylomicrons
- E. Very low-density lipoproteins
Hint
Ask which plasma cholesterol carrier depends on a cell-surface receptor for its removal, and what happens to its level when that receptor protein is faulty.
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.
