Digestions of Lipids and Vitamins Flashcards
small intestine
villi absorptive
crypts secretory
large intestine
surface epithelium absorptive
colonic crypts secretory
columnar epithelium cells
progentior cells
in small and large intestine
-high turnover
decreased when starving
increased when eating
secretion
within crypts
absorption
tops of villi
dietary lipid distribution
TAGs 90%
phospholipids 5% (cell membranes)
unesterified cholesterol 0.5%
phosphatidylcholine
lecithin
bile
secreted lipid
-unesterified cholesterol and lecithin
secreted lipids
bile and sloughed membrane lipids
emulsification
formation of oil droplets in aqueous solution
chewing, churning, peristalsis, etc. all decrease droplet size and increase overall surface area
droplet organization
surface - secreted sources
-center - dietary lipids (TAGs, DAGs, cholesterol)
gastric lipase
stable pH 4
pepsin resistant
inactivated by pancreatic protease in bile salts
pancreatic deficiency - gastric lipase activity
cleaves fatty acid from TAG
-one FFA and one DAG** (center of droplet)
medium and short chain FA
can move through enterocyte membrane
pancreatic lipase
major enzyme
- dependent on colipase, Ca, bile salts
- active at alkaline pH
liberates 2 FFAs and one MAG**
alli (orlistat)
xenical
inhibits pancreatic lipase
-prevents TAGs from being digested
phospholipase A2
from pancreas requires bile salts active at alkaline pH cleaves FFA from glycerophosholipids (SN2) leaves MAG
carboxyl ester hydrolase
not substrate specific
hydrolyzes ester linkage
release free cholesterol and glycerol
same action as - bile salt stimulated milk lipase
-infant no pancreatic lipase - in human milk
CCK
released with free FAs in duodenum
-stimulates bile flow and pancreatic secretion
sudan III testing
chemical test for fat in stool
lipid rarely found in stool (bacterial digestion colon)
in case of malabsorption
use short and medium chain FAs orally
-bc they can pass enterocyte cell membrane
multilamellar
multiple lipid bilayers
