Q

[Digestion]

pancreatic lipase digests TAG into what products

A

2 monoacylglycerols

2 free fatty acids

17
Q

[Digestion]

TAGs that are directly absorbed. No need for micelles

A

Short and medium chain FA

18
Q

[Digestion]

Which part of the enterocytes where dietary lipids are converted back to TAG

A

endoplasmic reticulum

19
Q

[Digestion]

TAGs are packed as chylomicrons and released as ___

20
Q

[Digestion]

What converts pepsinogen to pepsin?

A

Hydrochloric acid produced by parietal cells

Pepsinogen are secreted by chief cells

21
Q

[Digestion]

What activates trypsinogen and trypsin

A

Enteropeptidase

22
Q

[Digestion]

Free amino acids are absorbed via what type of transport

A

secondary active transport, coupled with Na

23
Q

[Digestion]

Di and tripeptides are transported to the enterocyte via

A

H+ linked transport system

24
Q

Glutamic acid on active site of the enzyme. What amino acid have the least effect on enzyme activity?

A

Aspartic acid (D)

Acidic = glutamEc, asparDic acid

25
What is the major attractive force between DNA and proteins in DNA-protein complexes
Hydrophobic interactions DNA is highly negative due to phosphate, hence interaction with protein is via ion-ion interaction
26
What is the important AA needed for stability of collagen triple helix?
glycine since its R group is H Remember, Gly-Pro-X
27
Mutation in osteogenesis imperfecta type I leads to what AA substitution?
Glycine to Leucine
28
What type of bond stabilizes alpha-helix and beta-sheets?
hydrogen bond
29
Svedberg coefficient in measuring the sedimentation rate of ribosomes depends on what property?
size and shape
30
What is the hallmark of metabolic syndrome?
insulin resistance
31
What test is used to confirm the pro-inflammatory state associated with metabolic syndorome?
CRP
32
Increase in what proinflammatory cytokine is essential to Metabolic Syndrome
NO
