Q

what is the role of bile salts in lipid digestion?

A

acts as an emulsifier- increases the surface area of the droplets so that they can be broken down by pancreatic enzymes

Q

what are the dietary lipids?

A

triacylglycerol
phospholipid
sterols (cholesterol, cholesterol ester, sistosterol)

21
Q

what are the main bile acids?

A

cholic acid
chenodeoxycholic acid
can be conjugated with either taurine or glycine

22
Q

what are the digestive enzymes?

A

lipases
phopholipase A2
cholesterol esterase

23
Q

what do lipases do?

A

remove fatty acids from glycerol

forms diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol

24
Q

what does phospholipase A2 do?

A

removes a fatty acid from phospholipids, forming lysophospholipid

25
Q

what does cholesterol esterase do?

A

breaks down esterfied cholesterol to free cholesterol by removing a fatty acid

26
Q

what is the purpose of cholesterol ester?

A

stored form of cholesterol

27
Q

what is the purpose of cholesterol?

A

used in membranes to stabilize transition temperature

28
Q

which apoprotein is involved in chylomicron synthesis?

A

ApoB48

29
Q

what are the components of chylomicrons?

A

TAG
phospholipids
cholesterol esters
fat soluble vitamins

30
Q

how do chylomicrons get back into blood?

A

exit intestinal cell into the lymphatic system

reenter blood at the thoracic duct

31
Q

what happens to the bile salts in mixed micelles?

A

absorbed in the ileum (not when the rest of the contents are absorbed)
then returned to liver
5% are lost in the feces (not reabsorbed)

32
Q

what are the sources of cholesterol?

A

2/3 serum lipoproteins

1/3 de novo synthesis

33
Q

what is unique about sistosterol?

A

not reabsorbed, taken into the cell but released back into lumen

34
Q

what aids in sistosterol release in the lumen? what are their roles?

A

NPC1L1- interacts with cholesterol to take it to the chylomicron via conformation change, but takes sistosterol to ABCG5/8 via different conformational change
ABCG5/8- dimer on the apical membrane that returns sistosterol to the lumen

35
Q

what family is ABCG5/8 a part of?

A

ATP binding cassette family

requires ATP to move ions, lipids, bile acids, drugs, or peptides

36
Q

what is sistosterolemia?

A

abmormal NPC1L1 which takes sistosterol to chylomicron –>sistosterol ends up in the blood

37
Q

how are different fatty acids absorbed?

A

chains 14C- lymphatics

38
Q

which lipids are put into chylomicrons?

A

all lipids >14C, some 10-12 lengths

39
Q

what is the advantage of portal vein absorption?

A

faster- lymph moves very slow

40
Q

how are lipid malabsorption disorders treated?

A

give medium chain FAs so they can be absorbed via portal vein
- characterized by lipids in stool

41
Q

what is ApoB?

A

apoprotein B
edited version ApoB48 is used in chylomicron synthesis
ApoB100 is used in the liver

42
Q

how is ApoB48 made?

A
  1. transcribed in nucleus
  2. APOBEC shortens the transcript to 48% of original length
  3. translated on rER membrane
  4. associates with chylomicron components in the Golig- forms a chylomicron
43
Q

what happens to the chylomicron in the blood stream?

A
  1. associates with ApoCII/ApoCIII and ApoE
  2. interacts with with lipoprotein lipase on the surface of tissues
  3. LPL removes TAGs and breaks them down into free fatty acids to get them into the cell
    - ->forms chylomicron remanent with ApoE
  4. chylomicron remanent is recycled by the liver
44
Q

what do ApoCII/CIII do?

A

ApoCII- activates lipoprotein lipase
ApoCIII- inhibits lipoprotein lipase
CII/CIII ratio varies with metabolic states
kept on HDL when not being used

45
Q

what does ApoE do?

A

tethers the chylomicron to lipoprotein lipase

46
Q

what happens to glycerol?

A

goes to liver and used

47
Q

what is steatorrhea?

A

severe fat malabsorption due to lack of chylomicron formation from mutation in first 48% of apoprotein gene

48
Q

what are the symptoms of steatorrhea?

A

fatty stools- lipids can’t be absorbed because concentration is too high in cells
low serum lipids- lipids get stuck in ER and never make it to blood

49
Q

how is steatorrhea treated?

A

medium chain fatty acids in food

skips chylomicrons and are absorbed directly into portal vein
