Q

why do we store fat?

A

Fat is triglyceride. It has three fatty acids attached to glycerol
You can survive, perhaps, for only about one day on stored glycogen. With fat, you can survive for weeks
A kg of fat has about twice the calories as a kg of glycogen. Glycogen is water soluble, requires too much water to store
Most tissues can use fat to make ATP (except RBC and brain)

Q

give on example of a common bile acid

22
Q

what are the 4 pancreatic enzymes used in the degradation of dietary lipids?

A
  1. Pancreatic Lipase
  2. Colipase
  3. Cholesteryl esterase
  4. Phospholipase A2
23
Q

what does obesity drug do?

A

Obesity drug, Orlistat, inhibits gastric and pancreatic lipases and decrease fat absorption.

24
Q

………………………….. preferentially removes the FAs at carbons 1 and 3.

A

pancreatic lipase

25
............................ also secreted by the pancreas, binds to the lipase at a ratio of 1:1 and restores its activity in the presence if inhibitory substances like bile salts
co-lipase
26
true or false? some of the dietary cholesterol is in the free form. 30-45% of it in ester form.
false | Most dietary cholesterol is in the free form. 10-15% of it in ester form.
27
the activity of the cholesterol esterase is greatly increased on the presence of .....................................
bile salts
28
what does phospholipase A2 do?
removes one FA from carbon two of a PL to form lysophospholipid.
29
.................................. removes the other FA to form glycerolphosphoryl base.
lysophospholipase
30
in short summary, complete the following blanks 1. Lingual Lipase: Short/medium Chain TAGàFAs 2. Gastric Lipase: // 3. Pancreatic Lipase: TAG --> ................................... 4. Colipase: binds to ............................. 1:1 5. Cholesteryl esterase: Cholesterol ester --> ............................. 6. Phospholipase A2 : ............................. --> Lysophospholipid
monoglycerol pancreatic lipase cholesterol and FA phospholipid
31
what are the primary products of lipid digestion?
. FAs • 2-monoacylglycerol • Cholesteroland • PL
32
what are the two main hormones that control lipid digestion?
1. cholecystokinin | 2. secretin
33
what does the cholecystokinin does?
CCK acts on gallbladder to release bile and on pancreas to release digestive enzymes.
34
what does the secretin does?
It acts on pancreas to release bicarbonate to neturalize the pH of the medium
35
absorption of lipids by intestinal mucosal cells that are called ..................................
enterocytes
36
which of the following is correct about absorption of lipids by enterocytes? A. Bile salts are absorbed in the terminal ileum (5% lost in the feces) B. Cholesterol is highly absorbed C. Short and Medium Length FA are water soluble so they don’t need assistance to be absorbed. D. A and C
D
37
what happens when the degraded form of the lipids enter the small intestine from the mucous cell?
Lipids absorbed by the enterocytes migrates to the endoplasmic reticulum where biosynthesis of complex lipids take place
38
true or false? | Newly synthesized TAGs and cholesteryl esters are very hydrophobic.
true
39
what are the uses of TAG?
is used by skeletal and cardiac muscle and adipose tissue. | It is degraded to FAs and glycerol by lipoprotein lipase
40
what are the uses of FAs?
Derived from hydrolysis of TAG either enter adjacent muscle cell or adipose tissue Adipose tissue can also re-esterify Fas to TAG to store them
41
what is albumin?
is a protein in the blood serum, it binds fatty acids strongly.
42
When you are fasting, fatty acid in the blood increases. what do we call these fatty acids?
Free Fatty Acids
43
when the glycerol is released form TAG, its taken from the blood and phosphorylated by hepatic glycerol kinase to form glycerol-3-phosphate, where do we use it?
glycolysis and glyconeogenesis
44
what happens to the rest of the chylomicron components?
Cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, apolipoproteins, fat soluble vitamins, and small amount of TAG. Bind to the receptors on the liver and endocytosed. Cholesterol and the nitrogenous bases of phospholipids can be recycled in the body.
45
what is the most common lethal genetic disease that causes clogs on the pancreatic ducts?
cystic fibrosis
46
``` Which of the following enzyme does not contribute lipid digestion? A. Gastric Lipasse B. Lingual Lipase C. Cholesterol Esterase D. Phospholipse A2 E. Glucokinase ```
e
47
Which of the fllowing protein carries FAs in blood stream? ``` A.Hemoglobin B. Myoglobin C. Albumin D. Transferrin E. Ferritin ```
c
48
Which of the following is not component of chlyomicrons? ``` A. FAs B. 2-monoacylglycerol C. Cholesterol D. Bile salts E. Glycerol ```
e
49
Which of the following are not classified under lipid category * Prostaglandins * Glycogen * AcetylCoA * Glycerophospholipids * Sphingolipids * Glycosphingolipids * Steroids * Short chain fatty acids
glycogen | acetyl CoA
50
Triacylglycerols are composed of: ``` A. a glycerol backbone. B. three fatty acids. C. amide linkages between the fatty acids and the glycerol. D. A and B above. E. A, B, and C above. ```
D
