_____ is released from the phospholipid cell membrane by the enzyme phospholipase A2

Type _____ hyperlipoproteinemia is also known as familial chylomicronemia syndrome

_____-carbon steroids, such as DHEA and androstenedione, have androgenic activity and are precursors to estrogen

In the liver, bile acids are conjugated to the amino acids _____ or taurine to form bile salts
