Answer 3

Always remember:

A normal Total Cholesterol Level should be 135 - 200 mg/dL.

LDL cholesterol ( bad cholesterol ) should be less than 130 mg/dL.

HDL cholesterol ( good cholesterol ) should be greater than 30 mg/dL

The ratio of Total cholesterol / HDL cholesterol should be 4.0 – 6.0 (for males) and 3.7 – 5.7 (for females).

Good Luck !

Answer 4

a

Answer 5

Normal values are published in most textbooks.  "Normal" keeps changing as more studies are done, so only the most recent texts will have what they accept as normal now. I know this is probably a homework question, but depending on how old the book you use is, the normal values may be different.  A is the correct answer.  BTW, it may not be cholesterol  that is the culprit in atherosclerosis after all. It may have more to do with molecule SIZE of the lipoproteins in the blood.

Answer 6

umm, less than 200mg/dL.

Is this a homework question?  Because if it is, I bet you could look in your book and find it rather easily.
