Q

What does emulsification of dietary lipids achieve? And what does the emulsifying?

A

It increases the surface area of the hydrophobic lipid droplets so that the digestive enzymes can act effectively.

Bile salts do it

A

cholesterol inhibits the reductase and catalyzes its breakdown

135
Q

A

It cannot be metabolized to CO2 and water in humans

136
Q

How is the intact sterol nucleus, in cholesterol, eliminated from the body?

A

It is converted to bile acids and bile salts in the liver

137
Q

Where is bile stored?

A

gall bladder

138
Q

What is the path of cholesterol to bile salt?

A

cholesterol –> bile acid –> bile salt

139
Q

cholic acid is an example of what?

A

a bile acid

140
Q

What happens to bile acids before they leave the liver, and what does it do to their chemical property?

A

they are conjugated to a molecule of either glycine or taurine. This makes them more soluble

141
Q

What does bile contain?

A

bile salts, cholesterol, phospholipids, bile pigment (bilirubin and biliverdin)

142
Q

Where is yellow-green bile produced and stored?

A

Chylomicrons
VLDL
LDL
HDL

145
Q

What do LDLs do?

A

deposit cholesterol in the arteries

146
Q

What do HDLs do?

A

transport cholesterol to the liver for conversion to bile acids and for disposal

147
Q

What is the precursor for all classes of steroid hormones?

A

cholesterol

148
Q

How are cholesterol hormones transported to their target organs?

A

via the blood (they must be complexed with a plasma protein because of their hydrophobicity)

149
Q

T/F: Chylomicrons deliver endogenous triacylglycerol to peripheral tissues.

A

False; they deliver EXOGENOUS (made outside of the body)

150

A

Glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase

151
