Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have demonstrated that oxidized LDL are more readily taken up by macrophages, leading to foam cell formation and plaque buildup in the arterial walls.

Answer: None of the above 
 Options B and D both present false statements. High blood HDL levels are actually associated with a lower risk of developing plaques while genetic factors can play a role in determining one's susceptibility to arterial plaque buildup. Option C is also incorrect as oxidized LDL particles are formed when LDL is subjected to oxidative stress, not antioxidant effects.
