Question 9
Question
Once dietary TriAcylGlycerols have been hydrolysed and transported across the enterocytes, they’re then esterified back into TriAcylGlycerols and packaged into:
Answer
-
Chylomicrons
-
VLDLs
-

-
VLDLs
-

Question 11
Question
Chylomicron-TG is metabolised at the tissue level by [blank_start]__________[blank_end], which hydrolyses CM-TG to release FA for tissue uptake.
Answer
-
LipoProtein Lipase (LPL)
-
Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDLs)
-
High-Density Lipoproteins (HDLs)
-
Very Low-Density Lipoproteins (VLDLs)
Question 12
Question
After hydrolysis of the Chylomicron-TG, the particle becomes smaller, forming CM-remnant.
This remnant particle is taken up by the [blank_start]__________[blank_end] and the TG remaining in the particle can be repackaged into a [blank_start]__________[blank_end], thereby recycling the dietary FA.
