<u>Answer:</u>
Yes,We live in the Cenozoic era, and scientists know more about this era and epochs.
<u>Explanation:</u>
This is because the cenozoic period is one of the three main periods of earth's history which began about 66-million years ago, lasting to the present. It is the latest or the current era of life. In this era, the rock layers are preserved more and destroyed in much lesser degree as compared to previous eras.
The Cenozoic Age is often recognized as the Mammals age because many species of large animals have been annihilated, enabling the preservation and proliferation of smaller creatures as their hunters no longer existed.
Answer:
Thanks for you question. Your hypothesis suggests a linear relationship between serum Cholesterol levels and MI. This hypothesis seems to ignore the difference in the prevalence and effectiveness of LDL receptors in the FH patient.
FH patients who have inherited the mutation from both parents have very few LDL receptors in their blood and therefore almost no ability to pass the unused Cholesterol through the liver. FH patients who are heterozygous will have more LDL receptors although both will find Cholesterol removal problematic without the addition of a PCSK9 inhibitor.
In short, your hypothesis need to account for other factors that are in play.
Explanation:
Consider my case. I am a 64 year old male who has Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Before treatment at age 12 my Total cholesterol was 510 mg/dl. My genetic testing shows two mutations to the LDL Receptor gene with only one mutation being pathogenic. My first heart attack was at 47 and first stroke at 62. My current LDL is too low to detect with the use of a PCSK9 inhibitor (Repatha®).
