The patient has a past medical history of osteoarthritis in his right knee and GERD that is well-controlled with over the counter medication. On a fasting lipid profile, he is found to have high cholesterol. The patient is started on daily atorvastatin to reduce his risk of cardiovascular disease. What is the major apolipoprotein found on the lipoprotein most directly affected by his statin medication?? A: Apolipoprotein A-I, B: Apolipoprotein B-48, C: Apolipoprotein B-100, D: Apolipoprotein C-II, E: Apolipoprotein E,  <response>: This is a multiple choice question asking about the major apolipoprotein found on the lipoprotein most directly affected by statin medication in a patient with high cholesterol. Statin medications work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, which is the rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. This reduces cholesterol production, especially LDL cholesterol. LDL particles contain apolipoprotein B-100 as their primary apolipoprotein. Therefore, the answer is apolipoprotein B-100.C: Apolipoprotein B-100
