Theoretically the egg yolk should contain TAGs‚ cholesterol ester‚ cholesterol‚ free fatty acids and polar lipids. In the end of the experiment the chromatoplate should show the polarity of the spots based on the adsorption of the spots in the mobile phase of the two-dimensional thin layer chromatography. Proper

Doctors will test all of the following: total cholesterol level‚ LDL levels‚ HDL levels‚ and triglyceride levels. A patient wants their total blood cholesterol to be less than 200 mg/dl‚ they are at the borderline of having a high risk when their levels are 200-239 mg/dl‚ and officially are at a high risk for heart disease when their levels are 240 mg/dl and above. For a patient’s LDL levels 190 mg/dl and above means their at a high risk for heart disease and indicates a person can benefit from treatment
