Degradation of dietary lipids Flashcards
why are Triacylglycerides the major fat in human diet
they are major storage lipid in plants and animals
where does the majority of triacylglyceride digestion take place
lumen of intestine
bile salts are what kind of compound
amphipathic
secretion of gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes are stimulated by
CCK
what happens to dietary fat in SI
emulsified by bile salts
what is the major enzyme to digest Triacylglycerides
pancreatic lipase
pancreatic lipase is secreted in response to
CCK
what is secreted along with pancreatic lipase
colipase
how does pancreatic lipase work against Triacylglycerides
cleaves ester bonds at each end to create 2 free FA & 2 monoacylglycerol
what is colipase function
holds Pancreatic Lipase at interface between lipid & aqueous medium;
- this causes conformation change in lipase & exposes active site;
- requires activation by proteolytic chymotrypsin
colipase requires activation via
proteolyic chymotrypsin
orlistat is a drug that does what
fights obesity by inhibiting gastric & pancreatic lipases
name two pancreatic neutral pH lipid-hydrolases in intestine
Cholesterol esterase
Phospholipase A2
what is product after cholesterol esterase acts on choesterol ester
cholesterol
what is product after phospholipase A2 acts on phospholipid
lysophospholipid
after phospholipase A2 acts on phospholipid, what then removes remaining fatty acyl?
lysophospholipase
what is another name for lysophospholipid
lysolecithin
what does CCK do
gall bladder to release bile
release pancreatic enzymes
slows gatric contractions
what does secretin do
promotes release of HCO3-
what does steatorrhea mean
lipid malabsorption - fat in stool
TAGs, cholesterol, and phospholipids combine into what
chylomicrons (CM)
what happens to LCFA & cholesterol when they are absorbed
esterified
how are TAG and cholesterol esters packaged
particles of lipid droplet
sourrounded by phospholipids, nonesterified cholesterol, apolipoprotein
are short and medium chain fatty acids esterified
no
