2. The patient of 48 years old has survived a heart attack. The laboratory test of his serum blood were: total cholesterol 440 mg/dl (reference range is <200 mg/dl), 392 Chapter 7. Lipid metabolism HDL cholesterol 28 mg/dl (reference range is >40 mg/dl), calculated LDL cholesterol 340 mg/dl (reference range is <100 mg/dl), triacylglycerol 160 mg/dl (reference range is <150 mg/dl). Explain the results of the laboratory tests and suggest the possible causes of the patient's disease. For the answer: a) draw the scheme of the cholesterol synthesis; b) draw the formula for the LDL cholesterol calculation; c) explain the functions of LDL and HDL in cholesterol transport using the schemes and the results of the laboratory tests; d) name the most possible cause of the patient's decease.
