Vitamin K dependent factors are those that require Vitamin K for their synthesis in the liver. Vitamin K is an important factor to gamma-glutamyl carboxylase which adds a carboxyl group to glutamic acid residues on factors II, VII, IX and X, as well as Protein S, Protein C. In adding the gamma-carboxyl group to glutamate residues on the immature clotting factors Vitamin K is itself oxidized. Deficiency of Vitamin K due to malabsorption, liver disease, etc. may contribute to bleeding disorders because clotting factor maturation depends on Vitamin K. Which of these coagulation factors are referred to as "vitamin-K dependent?"

Which of the following is most likely to interact with arterial walls, leading to deposition of cholesterol, and initiating or worsening atherosclerosis?

Triglyceride blood concentrations change significantly when you eat, as opposed to relatively stable levels of cholesterol, HDL, or LDL circulating in the blood. Whenever you eat a meal that contains fat, your triglyceride levels rise, which is why it is important to have a patient fast before the sample is collected. Which of the following lipid results would be expected to be FALSELY elevated on a serum specimen from a non-fasting patient?

The term affinity refers to the strength of attraction between a single antigenic determinant and a corresponding antigen binding site. The term avidity refers to the total strength of the attraction between an antibody and a multivalent antigen. The reaction between an IgM molecule (which has 10 antigen binding sites), and a multivalent antigen is therefore much stronger than that of an IgG antibody (which has only 2 antigen binding sites). Avidity is best described by which of the following statements:
