Emulsification Lipids: Bile Acids Flashcards
is a substance that can disperse and stabilize water-insoluble substances as colloidal particles in an aqueous
solution.
emulsifier
it emulsifies lipids
bile acids
Cholesterol derivatives that functions as emulsifying
agents that make dietary lipids soluble in aqueous environment of
the digestive tract:
Bile Acids
Approximately one third of cholesterol produced by liver is
converted to
bile acids.
Action similar to soap in washing
emulsification of bile acids
Bile acids are —- or ————— derivatives
tri- or dihydroxy cholesterol derivatives
The carbon —————– of cholesterol has been oxidized to a
carboxylic acid
17 side chain
The oxidized acid side chain is bonded to an
amino acid
(can either be glycine or choline)
amino acid
The oxidized acid side chain is bonded to an amino acid (either glycine or choline) through an
amide linkage
A fluid containing emulsifying agents (Bile acids) secreted by
the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the small
intestine during digestion
Bile
bile is stored in
gallbladder
bile is secretd by the
liver
bile is released into ——- during digestion
small
intestine
bile acids are released into the small intestine during
digestion
bile acids helps with: (3)
digestion
absorption
excretion
