Chapter 16b: Flashcards

Hyperlipidemia elevated levels of one or more lipoproteins in the blood	Lipids molecules, including fats, cholesterols, steroids and others, that are usually insoluble in water	Lipoprotein a spherical particle made up of hundreds of lipid and protein molecules
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) the bad cholesterol that contains 6% triglyceride and 65% cholesterol. Highly likely to cause atherosclerosis	Triglyceride a lipid that is the storage form of fatty acids, used as an energy source	Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) a lipoprotein that contains 60% triglyceride and 12% cholesterol
