A

the liver

22
Q

What is the net reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway?

A

Glucose + 12NADP+ + 6H20 –> 6CO2 + 12H + 12NADPH

23

28
Q

what does lipoprotein lipase do?

A

hydrolyzes chylomicron triglycerides, releasing fatty acids and glycerol

high [ ] of triglycerides, some cholesterol and phospholipids

from liver to adipose tissue

35
Q

what are LDLs made of

A

high cholesterol, moderate [phospholipids]

36

Q

Give the steps to the development of atherosclerotic plaque!
