What is the simple definition of an Acyl
Fatty acid attached to something
What type of fat (saturated/unsaturated) is on the 1 position of a triacylglycerol
Saturated
What type of fat (saturated/unsaturated) is on the 2 position of a triacylglycerol
Unsaturated
What type of fat (saturated/unsaturated) is on the 3 position of a triacylglycerol
Either saturated or unsaturated
What are the characteristics of a Triglyceride
Its reduced
Anhydrous
9Kcal/gram
What are the names of the lipases to go from TAG to Glycerol
TAG
DAG
MAG
LCFA + Glycerol
What enzyme turns a TAG into a DAG
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL)
What enzyme turns a DAG into a MAG
Hormose sensitive lipase (HSL)
What enzyme turns MAG into LCFA + glycerol
monoacylglycerol lipase
What is LPL
lipoprotein lipase
it is an Extracellular enzyme
What do LPL do
Hydrolyze TAGs at the surface of capillaries (FA + glycerol)
What cells produce LPL
muscles
Fat cells
how do muscles use LPL
oxidize FA+glycerol for energy
How do adipose tissues use LPL
Re-esterifi FA into TAG
What increases LPL concentration in muscles
Exercise (increases it 10-20 fold)
What does liver convert excess fatty acids into
VLDL
Where are lipid droplets found
Almost every kind of cell
How are the majority of TAG’s stored
Subcutaneous and Visceral adipose tissue
What type of muscle fiber stores more fat? How much more does it store
Type 1 (aerobic) stores 2-3 times more fat than Type II
What is IMTG
intramuscluar triglycerides
Fat storage in muscles if there is lots of available fat
