The level of total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol relative to LDL cholesterol in the blood can be useful in determining the health of the arteries and the risk of developing heart disease. The optimal level of blood lipids includes a lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol to reduce the amount of lipids that infiltrate the arterial wall, which ultimately results in plaque buildup. Consuming excess saturated fat, trans fat, and dietary cholesterol can result in increased levels of LDL cholesterol. Read the statements below and select the correct statements regarding the role of cholesterol in health and disease.

- Cholesterol is a component of bile. - Cholesterol is a key component of cell membranes.

Adam is reconsidering his breakfast choice of pancakes. What changes can he make at this meal to reduce his LDL cholesterol?

- Drink skim milk rather than whole milk. - Eat plain oatmeal with fresh fruit rather than pancakes.

Day-to-day choices can help reduce the risk of heart disease. One of the major risk factors for development of heart disease is elevated LDL, which can be affected by the types and amounts of dietary fat consumed as well as other dietary factors. Read the statements below and select all of the correct statements regarding how various dietary fats affect LDL cholesterol levels.

- Increasing intake of plant foods may be one of the easiest ways to decrease LDL cholesterol. - Trans fats are worse for heart health than saturated fats because they raise LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol. - Typically, the higher your consumption of saturated fats, the higher the LDL cholesterol levels in your blood.

Heart disease is a complicated condition that is influenced by a wide variety of factors; some that can be controlled, some that cannot. In this section, you will look at modifiable risk factors like an individual's diet and lifestyle choices. Choose the strategies below that should be used to reduce the risk of heart disease.

- consume more plant foods like legumes, vegetables, and fruit - engage in regular physical activity

Rank the events in order from first to last (left to right) in the development of atherosclerosis.

1. Arterial lining is injured. 2. LDL and other substances seep through the injury and deposit within the arterial wall. 3. LDL cholesterol becomes oxidized. 4. Macrophages travel to the site and engulf the oxidized LDLs, and foam cells form. 5. Foam cells accumulate to create a fatty streak. 6. Plaque forms, and the artery passageway narrows. 7. Blood flow is slowed or stopped.

Rank from "Take a bite of pizza" to "Lipids are transported throughout the body."

1. Mechanical digestion begins chewing breaks food down. 2. Lingual lipase begins chemical digestion of food. 3. Gastric lipase breaks down triglycerides into diglycerides and free fatty acids. 4. The gallbladder secretes bile into the small intestine where it emulsifies fat into smaller globules. 5. With aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. 6. Fat by-products are packaged into micelles and transported to intestinal cells. 7. Micelles separate into their component parts. 8. Short-chain fatty acids enter the bloodstream for transport, and long-chain fatty acids are packaged into chylomicrons and released into lymph vessels.

A serving of a gourmet-type ice cream can provide as much as __________ of fat.

17 grams

What is a standard serving size of ice cream?

2/3 cup

How much of your daily caloric intake should come from all fats?

20% to 35%

Which of the following statements regarding lipoproteins is TRUE?

As the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) deposit triglycerides in the cells, they become denser and are classified as low-density lipoproteins (LDLs).

Which of the following statements describes the nature of emulsification?

Bile acts to emulsify lipids in the small intestine, which helps pancreatic lipase access fats for further digestion.

_____ is produced by the liver and released by the gallbladder. This _____ allows fat droplets to mix with water-based fat-digesting enzymes in the small intestine.

Bile; emulsifier

The role of lipoproteins is to transport lipids throughout the body. One lipoprotein, a chylomicron, is formed in the small intestine to transport dietary lipids to the adipose tissues and the muscle cells. The other three are formed mostly in the liver and function to transport various lipids to and from the liver.

Chylomicron: this lipoprotein transports triglycerides another lipids from the intestinal wall cell into lymph VLDL: triglycerides make up the majority of lipids within this lipoprotein, and it serves to deliver these triglycerides from the liver to the body's cells, including fat cells LDL: this lipoprotein has the highest cholesterol content of all the lipoproteins, and it deposits this cholesterol to cells of the body HDL: this lipoprotein is released from the liver and picks up cholesterol from cells to transport it back to the liver

Which of the following statements is false?

Fats are nonessential nutrients.

Which of the following statements regarding the structure of triglycerides is TRUE?

Fatty acid chains in a triglyceride molecule, which contain a single double bond, are referred to as monounsaturated fatty acids.

There are four primary types of fatty acids that make up the fats in food: saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and trans fatty acids. The composition of these fatty acids affect the form and shape of food, and also impact the health of consumers in different ways. Sort phrases into the correct bin labeled with a type of fat.

Monounsaturated fats - these fats contain fatty acids with a maximum of one double bond - this is the most abundant type of fat in olive oil Polyunsaturated fats - these fats contain fatty acids with more than one double bond - linoleic and alpha-linoleic acid are types of this fat Saturated fats - coconut oil contains mostly this type of fat - these fats are primarily composed of fatty acids in which all carbons are saturated with hydrogen Trans fat - this fat can raise LDL (bad) cholesterol and lower HDL (good) cholesterol - hydrogenation by food manufacturers creates this type of fat
