Question

In some instances, the levels of LDL cholesterol exceed the ability of the body to maintain homeostasis, and as a result, the excess material accumulates into fatty deposits that harden into plaques. Arrange in the correct order the sequence of events that leads to this condition, known as atherosclerosis: 1) The plaques harden, blocking the flow of blood in major arteries. 2) White blood cells become engorged with fatty deposits. 3) Excess LDL cholesterol accumulates in the interior of arterial walls. 4) Macrophages are drawn to this site.

Statins are the most important type of cholesterol-lowering drug, and they lower specifically LDL rather than HDL cholesterol. How do the statins lower LDL cholesterol? a. By stimulating the conversion of excess cholesterol to bile acids in the liver, thereby depleting cholesterol for LDL synthesis. b. By reducing the synthesis of apolipoprotein B-100, the major structural protein of VLDL and LDL. c. By inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, thereby preventing cholesterol synthesis and forcing the cells to obtain their cholesterol from LDL. d. By stimulating the efflux of free cholesterol from cell membranes to HDL, thereby reducing the amount of cholesterol that is partitioned into LDL. e. By stimulating the transfer of cholesterol esters from VLDL and LDL to HDL.

Cholesterol plays a major role in a person's heart health. High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke. The level of cholesterol in the blood is measured in milligrams per decilitre of blood (mg/dl). According to the WHO, in general, less than 200 mg/dl is a desirable level, 200 to 239 is borderline high, and above 240 is a high-risk level and a person with this level has more than twice the risk of heart disease as a person with less than a 200 level. In a certain country, it is known that the average cholesterol level of their adult population is $184 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl}$ with a standard deviation of $22 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl} .$ It can be modelled by a normal distribution. a) What percentage do you expect to be borderline high? b) What percentage do you consider are high risk? c) Estimate the interquartile range of the cholesterol levels in this country. d) Above what value are the highest $2 \%$ of adults'cholesterol levels in this country?

00:01 Hello everyone the question here is what are the sequence of the events that happen due to the ldl x's in our body which causes artherocellois so arthurosclerosis is actually a condition where the walls of the artery face blockage and get hardened.
00:51 That affects the body negatively.
00:54 So here what first happens is that excess of ldl damages the arterial walls...
