Answer:

Atherosclerosis is the build up of plagues which contain fat and cholesterol.

High cholesterol level is known as one of the main causes of atherosclerosis. Increase in plasma cholesterol levels results in changes of the arterial endothelial permeability that allow the migration of lipids, especially Low density lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) particles, into the arterial wall. This blockage or deceased permeability is the main trigger for atherosclerosis.

1.The Trans-Arabian Pipeline Company was a company created as joint venture by Standard Oil of New Jersey, the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, the Texas Company and the Standard Oil of California in order to run and build the Trans-Arabian Pipeline.

2.Basically it shut down due to various political and economic reasons. The part of the pipeline was after the six-day war under the control of Israel, but they allowed it to function.  The constant bickering over transit fees  between Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and the pipeline breakdowns as well as the development of bigger oil tankers led to the closing of the portion of the pipeline. Saudi Arabia closed the rest after Jordan supported Iraq in the first Gulf War. The company became the subsidiary of Aramco and as the oil stopped flowing Aramco closed the subsidiary.
