Identify ALL of the following which are TRUE regarding cholesterol and disease:
Group of answer choices
hypertension can put extra strain on the heart and increase the chance of blood vessel inflammation
exercise has no effect on blood cholesterol
if an artery leading to the heart is blocked, a heart attack could result
High LDL and low HDL can promote inflammation of arteries
blood vessel inflammation can become self-perpetuating; where inflammation occurs, it becomes more likely that inflammation will continue, especially when blood LDL are high and HDL are low
dietary artificial trans fats seem to increase LDL and decrease HDL more than both dietary saturated fats and dietary cholesterol in most people (that is, trans fats are worse than sat fats and cholesterol)
if a product lists "partially hydrogenated" oil as an ingredient, it contains some trans fat even if it is less than .5 g per serving.
Artery inflammation can increase the risk of clots and thromboses; this could lead to arterial blockage (reduced blood flow in an artery)
An arterial plaque can increase the chance of developing hypertension
if an artery leading to the brain is blocked, a stroke could result
