Biological variation
– Age (↑ Chole)
– Sex : women have lower level than men
– Seasonal (Chole ↑ in winter)
– Dietary intake (restricted diet for 2 weeks)
– Medications (oral contraceptives)
– Medical disorders
– Lifestyle and other biological variation
• Recent MI, stroke, cardiac catheterization
TRUE/FALSE : Total Chole, HDL, LDL and TAG can be measured in fasting patients only
FALSE!
What can be measured in NON-FASTING individuals
– Total Cholesterol
– HDL
What requires FASTING individuals
Triglycerides (TAG)
LDL
Fasting
• Ideal time:
12 hours
CMs markedly ↑ TAG after meals (clearance time:_______)
6 to 9 hours
> 12h fasting = CM -> ???
False Increase CM
Some LPP physiologically ↓ after meals due to____ mediated compositional changes that occurs when CM is catabolized
CETP
Cholesteryl ester transfer protein
NCEP Adult treatment Panel III: at least____ hours
9hrs
Posture
• When standing patient reclines =
↓ 10% TC (total cholesterol), LDL, HDL
Position of the patient must be standardized for venipuncture
sitting position
Current NCEP guidelines for lipid concentration:____ minutes seated.
5mins
Prolonged venous occlusion = hemoconcentration (↑chole by____)
10-15%
Type of sample (plasma or serum)
• When applying Friedewald equation where____ is calculated -> Serum
LDL
Type of sample
_______: Ultracentrifugation & electrophoresis (LPP analysis)
Plasma
Type of sample
_____ should not remain in contact with the cells overnight
Plasma
Protein aggregation occurs less frequently using what sample?
Serum (less protein)
Plasma protein is about 3–5 g/liter greater than serum protein. (Taas protein sa plasma kay wala nag coagulate)

2 mg of dry extract was dissolved in acetic anhydride, heated to boiling, cooled and then 1 ml of concentrated sulphuric acid was added along the sides of the test tube.
