Which of the following statements about the lipoproteins given in the introduction are true?
Check all that apply.
A. Lipoproteins are complexes of lipids and proteins.
B. Lipoproteins can be distinguished by their densities and composition.
C. Lipoprotein densities increase in the following order: chylomicrons, VLDLs, LDLs, HDLs, IDLs.
D. Chylomicrons are the only lipoproteins that exclusively carry dietary lipids.
E. HDL has a high lipid-to-protein ratio. HDL is termed "bad" cholesterol because it can deposit excess cholesterol in the arteries.
F. Lipoprotein densities vary because lipoproteins have different lipid-to-protein ratios.
