B. Her HDL-Cholesterol will be increased
C. Her LDL-Cholesterol will be increased
D. Her liver will be unable to remove
chylomicrons
E. She will have difficulty in removing VLDL from the circulation
Back
Ans: D (The liver does not need the lipoprotein lipase to remove the chylomicron remnants.)
Lipoprotein lipase breaks down TAG to MAG and 2 FA in chylomicrons and VLDL, but not chylomicrons/their remnants themselves.
