Lecture 9 Flashcards
how are lipids digested
emulsification
what do bile salts increase
surface area
what happens first, emulsification, digestion, or absorption
emulsification then digestion then absoprtion
what are mixed micelles
- allow for easier transportation
Monoglycerides + FFA + Bile slats + Phospholipids + Cholesterol
what create larger mixed micelles
mixed micelles combines with cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins
where is the main sight of absorption
upper jejunum
what happens to lipids upon entering mucosal cell
- fats reassembled into triglycerides
- protein coating occurs to form chylomicrons
- chylomicrons enter lacteals via intercellular space
how do mammals absorb long chain FA lipids
via lymph system
lipoprotein
lipids + proteins
what is different with chickens when absorbing long chain FA lipids
absorb it directly into portal blood
how are lipids transported
- blood lipids
- as lipoproteins
blood lipids
- chylomicrons
- lipids arising from mobilized depot stores
- lipids synthesized in body tissues
what are the 4 major classes of lipids transported as lipoproteins
- chylomicrons (smallest)
- VLDL (very low density lipoprotein)
- LDL (low density lipoprotein)
- HDL (high density lipoproteins)
which lipoprotein has the highest ratio of lipids to protiens
HDL
which lipoprotein has the smallest amount of proteins
chylomicrons
What is associated with bad cholesterol
LDL
promote plaque formation blood vessels
