Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasma cholesterol is produced by the liver and is influenced by several factors including genetics, hormonal balance, and dietary intake. While it is true that dietary cholesterol can have an impact on plasma cholesterol levels, it is not the only factor. Therefore, even if Lisa ingests almost no dietary cholesterol, her plasma cholesterol concentration may not necessarily be almost zero.
