Q

How do bile salts work

A

Like a detergent

On one side is all the hydrophobic molecules and on the other is all the hydrophilic

The hydrophobic sides surround the big lipid molecule, the hydrophilic side is in contact with the aqueous solution of your body

Q

Why do you want to break down bile salts to micelles

A

Cuz they can diffuse (freely) through epithelial cells and for the CHYLOMICRON

40
Q

Most of our dietary fat is made up of

A

Triglycerides

41
Q

Importance of bile acid

A

Emulsify fat for digestion

Michelle formation, which makes products of lipid digestion soluble

Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins

Keeps cholesterol soluble in the gallbladder
Preventing gallstone formation

Helps in intestinal motility allowing defecation

42
Q

Steps to make bile acid

A
  1. Cholesterol to cholic acid (with cholesterol 7α hydroxylase)
  2. Cholic acid gets conjugated to glycocholic acid or taurocholic acid ( these dudes have a low PK which means they’re more reactive and more soluble)

3.the conjugated forms become the bile salts

43
Q

Cholesterol 7 α hydroxylase is a ____ enzyme

A

Rate limiting

44
Q

The amount of bile acid made equals

A

The amount of bile acid excreted

45
Q

Basic absorption of FA

A

FA to triglycerides
Packaged to chylomicrons in intestinal cells
To lymph
To bloodstream

46
Q

Basic absorption of cholesterol

A

Cholesterol esters formed in enterocytes
Enzyme ACAT
function to turn cholesterol and FA to cholesteryl esters
The c. Esters go to lymph
And then to the blood stream

47
Q

Majority of bile salts are recycled as primary or secondary conjugated bile salts by _______

A

Active transport from proximal or distal ileum

48
Q

Additional bile is recycled by _____

A

Passive diffusion

49
Q

Statin inhibits

A

Cholesterol from being made

50
Q

Ezetimibe inhibits

A

The uptake of cholesterol from the small intestine into the blood

51
Q

Resins inhibit

A

Bile from getting back into liver

52
Q

What is the response to bile acid chelators
Give an example of one

A

Inhibits bile from being re-absorbed. SO more cholesterol is converted to bile acids

53
Q

What are the pancreatic enzymes and what do they digest

A

Pancreatic lipase with colipase = digests triacylglycerols

Phospholipase = digest phospholipids

Cholesterol esterase = digest cholesterol esters

54
Q

Where do the pancreatic enzymes secrete and what do

A

Into the small intestine

Digest LCFA

55
Q

What are the enzymes in the mouth and what do they digest

A

Lingual lipase
It digest SCFA and MCFA

56
Q

Enzyme in stomach and what does it do

A

Gastric lipase
Digest SCFA and MCFA

57
Q

Where does most of the digestion of SCFA and MCFA happen

A

Stomach

58
Q

Here do SCFA and MCFA go after being digested in stomach

A

Diffuse (cuz they’re so smol) and enter blood

59
Q

When SCFA and MCFA enter blood after being digested in stomach where do they go

A

To the hepatic portal blood, then carried by serum albumin to the liver

60
Q

During fasting states what fat do we rely on

A

LCFA

61
Q

Triglycerides are made in the

A

Liver

62
Q

LCFA play a big role in

A

Development of immunity and brain development

63
Q

Why do we need co lipase

A

Because the fat droplet inhibits lipase

64
Q

Explain process of lipase on fat droplet

A

1 Co lipase binds
2 lipase binds to co lipase
3 lipase takes fat insides and breaks them up and spits them out ast micelles

65
Q

Phospholipase A1 and A2 create

A

Free FA

66
Q

SCFA are formed in the ______ by friendly bacteria and are rapidly metabolized by the _____

A

Intestines
Intestinal cells

67
Q

MCFA are absorbed and transported _______ to the liver where they are ______

A

Liver
Burned for energy

68
Q

LCFA are turned into _____ and then are taken up by cells and used for _____ or _____

A

Triglycerides
Energy
Stored

69
Q

_____ is needed from ____ to digest LCFA

A

Bile
Gallbladder

70
Q

CHYLOMICRON carries

A

Dietary fats

71
Q

Chylomicrons go to where

A

Lympatic system, not capillaries

72
Q

Chylomicrons deliver fat to

A

Muscle for energy
Or
Fat for storage

73
Q

What regulates LPL

A

Insulin

74
Q

High insulin regulates

A

LPL sythesis and activity
It will all increase

75
Q

KM for muscle LPL compared to fat LPL

A

Muscle has a lower KM
this means muscle LPL is always saturated

76
