A mixture of liquids with different boiling points like water and ethanol or crude oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It can also be used to separate a solution into its â¦ solvent and solute, for example salt solution (salt water) could be separated into water (solvent) and salt (solute).
Most of our success in understanding the genetic basis of common forms of atherosclerosis has come from studies of âcandidate genes,â genes identified by biochemists and subsequently examined for genetic differences and associations in populations. A good example of a candidate gene is apolipoprotein E (apoE).
Aortic atherosclerosis is caused by hardened plaques of cholesterol and fat materials that form on the inside of the border of the aorta. These plaques literally cause the aorta to become hardened. When left untreated, it will result in blocked arteries which can restrict blood flow to the body.
