5. A 45 -year-old woman presents to the healthcare provider with intermittent epigastric and occasional shoulder pain. She describes the shoulder pain as an occasional dull ache present at approximately the same time as her nausea. She has made no changes in her exercise regimen or medications. Two months ago, she started a new diet, increased her fruit and vegetable intake, and lost \( 22 \mathrm{lbs} \). A lipid panel and liver transaminases are performed, yielding total cholesterol of \( 280 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl} \), LDL of \( 170 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl}, \mathrm{HDL} \) of \( 40 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl} \), triglycerides of \( 148 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl}, \mathrm{AST} \) of \( 59 \mathrm{U} / \mathrm{L} \), ALT of \( 44 \mathrm{U} / \mathrm{L} \), amylase of \( 33 \mathrm{U} / \mathrm{L} \), and alkaline phosphatase of \( 408 \mathrm{U} / \mathrm{L} \). Dysregulation in which of the following would most likely cause these elevated lipid panel lab results? A. Cardiac myocytes B. Hepatocytes C. Thymic lymph tissue D. Gastric D cells Justify your answer 4. A 65 -year-old man is brought to the emergency department with complaints of left-sided chest pain, vomiting, diaphoresis, and shortness of breath for one hour. The patient has a history of episodes of chest pain for the past 6 months, which used to resolve after resting for a while. ECG in the emergency department shows ST elevations in the anterior chest leads. The molecule involved in the pathophysiology of this patient's condition is primarily produced in which of the following organs? A. Stomach B. Kidneys C. Heart D. Liver
