Question 7

Question
Which is the biggest lipoprotein?
Answer

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 10

Answer
  • The patient is in a fasting state
  • The patient is in a fed state
  • The patient could have a disorder due to the endogenous pathway
  • The patient could have a disorder due to the reverse transport of cholesterol
  • Any of these
