This is a real-world medical entrance exam question, please give the true answer based on the question and selection. Topic name: None, Subject name: Biochemistry
All of the following statements are true regarding lipoproteins, EXCEPT: 
Select and explain. 
A. VLDL transpos endogenous lipids, B. LDL transpos lipids to the tissues, C. Increased blood cholesterol is associated with increased LDL receptors, D. Increased HDL is associated with decreased risk of coronary disease
C: Increased blood cholesterol is associated with increased LDL receptors
Answer: C: Increased blood cholesterol is associated with increased LDL receptors 
Explanation: LDL receptor are present in all cells most abundant in hepatic cells and adrenal coex. When apo B100 in LDL bind to LDL receptor, receptor-LDL complex is internalized by endocytosis. A deficiency of functional LDL receptors causes a significant elevation in plasma LDL and therefore increase in plama cholesterol. Thus increased blood cholesterol will be associated with a decrease in LDL receptors and not with an increase in the receptors.
