Cholesterol is a 27-carbon compound that is synthesized in the liver and other tissues. It is essential for cell membrane structure and as a precursor for bile acids, steroid hormones, and vitamin D. Cholesterol synthesis is a multi-step process involving acetyl-CoA and HMG-CoA reductase as the rate-limiting enzyme. High cholesterol levels increase risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease. Treatment options for hypercholesterolemia include dietary changes, exercise, and statin drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase to lower cholesterol production.
Lipoprotein metabolism - (transport of lipids in the Blood)Ashok Katta
This presentation explains metabolism of lipoproteins (Chylomicron, VLDL, LDL, HDL) in very simple way. The presentation contains lots of animation to explain metabolism of individual lipoproteins.
Under normal dietary intake the majority of the ingested fructose is metabolized by the enterocytes of the small intestine primarily to glucose which is then delivered to the systemic circulation. In addition to glucose, the carbon atoms from dietary fructose are converted, by intestinal enterocytes, into several other metabolites including glycerate, glutamate, glutamine, alanine, ornithine, and citrulline.
However, diets containing large amounts of sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, or fructose alone, overwhelm the ability of the small intestine to metabolize it all and under these conditions a significant amount of fructose is then metabolized by the liver and to a lesser extent by other organs such as skeletal muscle.
lipoproteins transfer lipids such as triacylglycerol, cholestryl ester, fat soluble vitamins in the body. there are 5 categories of lipoproteins which includes chylomicrone, VLDL, IDL, LDL and HDL. LDL-cholesterol is called bad cholestrol while HDL-cholesterol is called good cholesterol.

Cholesterol Biosynthesis and catabolism for MBBS, Lab. MEd. BDS.pptxRajendra Dev Bhatt
Cholesterol is found exclusively in animals, hence it is often called as animal sterol.
The total body content of cholesterol in an
adult man weighing 70 kg is about 140 g i.e., around 2 g/kg body weight.
The level of cholesterol in blood is related to the development of atherosclerosis & MI.
Cholesterol is the major sterol in the animal tissues.
Cholesterol is present in tissues and in plasma either as free cholesterol or as a storage form, combined with a long-chain fatty acid as cholesteryl ester.
In plasma, both forms are transported in lipoproteins
removed from tissues by plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and transported to the liver, where it is eliminated from the body either unchanged or after conversion to bile acids in the process known as reverse cholesterol transport

1.FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS FOR MBBS, LABORATORY MEDICINEAND BDS.pptRajendra Dev Bhatt
Lipid metabolism is the processing of lipids for energy use, energy storage, and structural component (Cholesterol & lipoproteins) production. Lipids are digested by lipase enzymes in the GI tract (with the help of bile acids) and are absorbed directly through the cell membrane. Free fatty acids are then resynthesized into triacylglycerols (TAGs) in the enterocytes. Finally, lipid components are repackaged into chylomicrons and transported throughout the body for use or storage.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
