Which of the following statements best describes the role of lipoprotein lipase in fat-soluble vitamin metabolism?

Lipoprotein lipase helps package fat-soluble vitamins into chylomicrons

Lipoprotein lipase aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins into enterocytes

Lipoprotein lipase is necessary for the formation of micelles in the small intestine

Lipoprotein lipase causes the release of fat-soluble vitamins into tissues for use and storage (correct)

How does all-trans retinoic acid function within the cell nucleus?

It functions as a chaperone protein to aid in protein folding

It serves as an enzyme to carry out biochemical reactions

It binds directly to DNA as a transcription factor

It heterodimerizes with retinoic acid receptors (RAR) in the nucleus (correct)

What are the primary functions of RAR-retinoid X receptor heterodimers within the body?

They function as structural components within cells

They act as transcription factors by binding to gene promoters (correct)

They serve as enzymes for metabolic reactions

They help regulate ion channels on the cell membrane
