70
Q

What is the role of lipoprotein receptors?

A

A specific receptor that mediates the uptake of cholesterol from HDL by the liver is essentially required for the atheroprotective function of HDL.

Low-density lipoprotein receptors sit on the outer surface of many types of cells, where they pick up low-density lipoproteins circulating in the bloodstream and transport them into the cell. Once inside the cell, the low-density lipoprotein is broken down to release cholesterol. The cholesterol is then used by the cell, stored, or removed from the body. After low-density lipoprotein receptors drop off their cargo, they are recycled back to the cell surface to pick up more low-density lipoproteins.

71
Q

Someone has told you that SAFA are bad for you and that you should avoid this type of fat. Analyse their statement and justify your point of view on this statement.

Q

What factors influence your flexibility?
