It binds the hormone estradiol
A1- fetoprotein
A1 fetoprotein produced by
Developinn embryo and fetus / parenchymal cells of the liver
A1 fetoprotein decreases
✓ after birth
✓ down syndrome
✓ Edward syndrom
A1- fetoprotein increases
✓ neural defects
✓ abdominal wall defect

Reference method for quantification of lp
Ultracentrifugation method
Most commonly used support medium of electrophoretic method
Agarose gel
_________ It usually visualizd with lipid- staining dye such as Oil red O
Lp electrophoretogram
Fxn of apolipoprotein
✓ helps maintain the structural integrity of lp
✓ serves as ligands for cell receptor
✓ aid in the solubilization of lipids
It is due to defective Apo B synthesis

Abetalipoproteinemia is characterized by
Cerebral ataxia
Acanthocytosis
Fat malabsorption
Proteolytic fragments of collagen 1 formed during bone resorption
Cross- linked C-telopeptides
T or F:
Cross- linked C-telopeptides is the biochemical marker of bone resorption
True
Test associated with cross- linked C- telopeptides is mostly useful for monitoring the
Response to anti-resorptive therapy or in the destruction of bone tissue
Tests for ketones
✓ Gerhardt’s test
✓ Sodium nitroprusside test
✓ enzymatic test
It detects 3-B-hydroxybutyric acid ot acetoacetic acid
Enzymatic test
Enzymatic test uses
3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
Ferric chloride reacted with acetoacetic acid to produce a red color
Gerhardt’s test
Reacts with acetoacetic acid to produce a purple color
Sodium nitroprusside test
Largest and least dense lp particles
Chylomicrons
Chylomicrons contains
Apo B-48
Glucose reacts with O2 and H2O to form gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
The hydrogen peroxide will then reacts with a chromogenic substance yo produce oxide chromogen and water

True
Major component of b-globulin fraction
Transferrin
Transferrin increases when
✓ iron deficiency anemia
✓ hemochromatosis or bronze diabetes
Transferrin decreases
✓ inflammation like liver dsx
✓malnutrition
✓ Nephrotic syndrome
It involves reduction of yellow ferricyanide to a colorless ferrocyanide by glucose
