what are fatty acids stored as?
TGs
what are TG’s stored in?
lipid droplets
when fatty acids are stored as TGs, what type of bonds are made? what is the backbone?
ester bonds
glycerol backbone
T/F. Lipid droplets are extracellular organelles within the cytoplasm.
false; intracellular
what are three reasons why TGs are stored in lipid droplets?
- energy
- membrane synthesis
- protect against lipotoxicity
define lipolysis.
breakdown of TG to mobilize FAs (3 FFAs and glycerol)
T/F. Lipolysis can occur in the GI, vascularly, and intracellularly.
true
what are the three lipases in GI lipolysis?
lingual, gastric, and pancreatic
where does digestion begin?
mouth and stomach
most dietary TAGs breakdown in
A. mouth
B. stomach
C. small intestine
C. small intestine
T/F. Lipases cleave ester bonds.
true
what protein as considered the “gate keepers” of regulating lipid metabolism?
perilipins
what are the contents of lipids that enter the enterocyte?
FFA, MAG, DAG, cholesterol, cholesterol esters
______ is formed at the enterocyte and transports dietary lipid and cholesterol.
chylomicrons
other than chylomicrons, what are the other lipoprotein complexes?
VLDL, HDL, LDL, IDL
as the chylomicron slowly enters the blood, the lipid from the diet goes to what type of tissue?
extrahepatic tissue (adipose and muscle)
