A Test of Physiological Literacy.
1. In an experiment with two groups of high-carb and low-carb elite endurance athletes, the researchers measured blood lipid profiles of the two groups. Based on the partial data presented on the figure below, can you tell if there are any athletes who are inslulin-resistant in the two groups?
How to use this test.
If a medical practitioner, a researcher, or a health educator is being tested.
A medical practitioner, a researcher, or a health educator should be able to understand the question and to comment intelligently. If you are a patient or a health enthusiast, you should be cautious if the specialist that you test is incapable to understand or to comment intelligently.
Our tests help to identify competent medical practitioners, diligent researchers and health educators.
If you want to understand blood lipids better yourself.
If you want to understand blood lipids better yourself, looking for an answer to this and other “Tests of Physiological Literacy” that we design will be stimulating and should guide your interest in the right direction.
Our Working Group on blood lipids.
If you are a medical practitioner, a person interested in optimizing your health, or a patient/consulting client, you may want to collaborate with us in our Working Group on blood lipids. In our groups, we share our ideas and different “protocols” that address a particular area.
