Lipid Metab -1a Flashcards
Factors involvd in fat digestion
Lipases
Bile acids & bile salts
Most abundant lipid in our diet
TAG
Most important lipase
Pancreatic lipase
Lingual lipase
ebner’s gland
Primary bile acids
Cholic acid
Chenodeoxycholic acid
Secondary bile acids
Deoxycholic acid
Lithocholic acid
Emulsifying agents
Bile acids/salts
Primary bile acids are synthesized from
Cholesterol
Formed in the liver
Secondary bile acids are synthesized from?
1* bile acids
Formed in the intestines
Bile salts are synthesized from
Bile acids + glycine + taurine
Bile acids/salts are conserved through
Enterohepatic circulation
Aka steapsin
Pancreatic lipase
Requires colipase for optimum activity
Pancreatic lipase
Protein found in pancreatic secretion
Colipase
Steapsin is specific for hydrolysis of ——-
1* ester linkages (sn-1 & sn-3 of TAG)
Steapsin cannot hydrolyze 2* ester bond in sn-2 of TAG
End products of fat digestion
2-monoacylglycerols & FA
Short- & medium- chain FA are absorbed by the ——-
Portal circulation (liver)
Used to resynthesize TAGs in the intestinal walls
Long-chain FA and 2-monoacylglycerols
——- + TAGS/other lipids = chylomicrons
Apoproteins
Chylomicron absorption
Lymphatic circulation ( systemic )
Happens due to impaired fat absorption/digestion
Steatorrhea
There is an increase amt of un/digested fat in the feces
Steatorrhea
Types of steatorrhea
- Deficiency of bile
- Deficiency of pancreatic juice
- Abnormal intestinal mucosa
due to obstruction in the bile duct
Deficiency of bile
Clay-colored stool
Deficiency of bile
Due to chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic carcinoma
Deficiency of pancreatic juices
May be due to celiac disease
Abnormal intestinal mucosa
Biosynthesis of FA
Lipogenesis
Types of lipogenic pathways
Extramitochondrial - cytosol
Microsomal - ER
Mitochondrial
All involve reduction-dehydration-reduction
General principle of lipogenesis
Add 2 C atoms per cycle
De Novo/ Lynen’s Cycle
Extramitochondrial
Substrate of extramitochondrial pathway
acetyl CoA
