Free fatty acids Triacyglycerols Phospholipids Glycolipids Steroids
What are the fatty acid storage
Triacylglycerols
Source of fats
Diet Liver Adipose - storage depots
Where are bile salts generated
Liver and stored in gallbladder From cholestrol
How to bile salts solubilise fats
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic sides
What is steatorrhea
Fatty stool
What is orlistat
Inhibitor of gastric and pancreatic lipase Reduce of fat absorptions
How are lipids transported
How are the fat digested products absorbed
By enterocytes
How are chylomicrons transported
Via the lymphatics and into the bloodstream
What is lipoprotein lipase’s job
Lines adipose, heart and skeletal muscle
Undergo B-oxidation
What is the life cycle of microns
What is the reaction for a cholesterol ester
Make it pack even more tightly in the hydrophobic core
Life cycle of liver sysnthesis lipids
What is HDL function
Take cholestrol from peripheral tissues to liver for use in bile salt or disposal
