Fatty Acid And Cholesterol Metabolism Flashcards
endogenous fats) liver –> peripheral Hssues
VLDL
exogenous fats) small intesHnes –> peripheral Hssues
Chylomicrons
bad cholesterol”) VLDL –> peripheral Hssues
LDL
good cholesterol”) peripheral Hssues –> liver
HDL
Surrounding the heart is a layer of fat called the
Pericardial fat
Protect the kifneys
Perinephric fat
n. a lipoprotein particle present in the blood after digested fat has been absorbed from the small intestine
Chylomicron
an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins to free fatty acids, which are absorbed from the capillaries into local tissues
Lipoprotein lipase
Help activate lipoprotein lipase
Apolipoprotein C II
From the intestinal lymphatic system the chylomicrons are transported to the
Thoracic duct
Cisterna chyli
Contain relatively having more cholesterol after passing through the adipose cells which extract the triglycerides, go to the liver for further processing
Chylomicrons remnants
Ito lang yung sa cytosol nangyayare
Glycolysis
Pentose phosphate pathway
Fatty acids synthesis
Rate limiting enzyme in PPP
Glucose-6-phosphate_dehydrogenase
Rate limiting enzyme of cholesterol synthesis
HMG CoA Reductase
Rate limiting enzyme of fatty acid synthesis
Acetyl CoA Carboxylase
