24
sterols are comprised of four
connecting rings of carbon and hydrogen with an oxygen/hydrogen attached
25
functions of sterols
important role in all cell membranes important in brain and nerve cell membranes precursor of important compounds in the body
26
fat digestion receives help from
salivary glands provide lipase which is important for babies from birth to 6 months
27
fat digestion receives help from pancreas because it provides
bicarbonate ions and lipase
28
small intestine cells first absorb
fat fragments and intact sterols
29
small intestine reassemble
fat fragments into triglycerides
30
small intestine cells create
chylomicrons
31
small intestine cells fill chylomicrons with
freshly assembled triglycerides along with other lipids
32
small intestine cells ship the chlymicrons
out of the body using lymph vessels
33
little fat digestion takes place in the
mouth and stomach
34
lipids digestion in the intestinal lining (what enters the body)
glycerol and short chain fatty acids enter directly into the bloodstream
35
intestinal lining convert monoglycerides and long-chain fatty acids into
triglycerides and combine them with protein forming chylomicroms
36
common bile duct allows
bile to enter into the first few inches of small intestine
37
bile emulsifies
fat droplets, preparing fat for lipase
38
lipase snaps the chemical bonds of
triglycerides and phospholipids releasing fragments
39
possible causes of gallstones
diet low in fiber and chronically inadequate fluid intake resulting in abnormally thick bile
40
symptoms of gallstones
fever, nausea, vomiting, cramps can range from no pain to mild or intense
41
suggested treatments for gallstones
reduce fat intake, medication, shockwave therapy, surgery
42
small intestine cells absorb
glycerols, fatty acids, monoglycerides intact sterols (cholesterol) atoms containing phosphorus
43
very few intestinal cells are routed into
hepatic portal vein going to the liver
44
how many dietary triglycerides and phospholipids are digested and absorbed
98%
45
short chain fatty acids tend to be water friendly causing them to be
moved into the blood going to the liver
46
long chain fatty acids will be used to form new
triglycerides as directed by genetic code
47
malabsorption concerns with medication, weight loss aid, or substaces like mineral oil
can block the absorption of fats/oils, would have the ability to block essential fatty materials
48
fat-soluble vitamin deficines (hint phytochemicals)
important phytochemicals would not be able to enter the body to protect our cells from damages and possible cancerous changes
49
speed of lipid digestion
mouth- less than a minute stomach- 1-2 hours small intestine- 7-8 hours colon- 12-14 hours
50
body conserves
fat molecules
51
excess carbs and protein
less efficiently converted into fat
52
fats dismantle
stored triglycerides and release fatty acids into blood
53
adequate oxygen must be available to
cells for maximum energy (ATP) production
54
brain and nerve cells prefer to use
glucose as their ATP energy source
55
mature blood cells can only use
glucose for ATP production
56
muscle cells prefer to use larger amounts of
fatty acids for ATP production as long as glucose and oxygen are present
57
only little amounts of protein is used for
energy
58
low carb diets in terms of protein
protein is no longer spared as amino acids are taken by the cell to produce four carbons needed for release
59
waiting fatty acid fragments are converted into
ketone bodies and begin to build up in the body causing a acidic state (ketosis)
60
as ketosis occurs, pH falls lower causing
acidosis which may lead to loss of electrolytes and fluids, irregular heartbeat, coma, and death
61
number one cause of death in america
cardiovascular disease
62
increased risk of death with eating patterns containing:
saturated and trans-fats added sugars and refined carbs
