lipid metabolism Flashcards
When do we need to metabolise LIPIDS
After glucose and glycogen stores have been used up
we have enough lipids to store 40 hours worth of energy
What of the three classes of lipids
Fatty acid derived
HMG derived
fat-soluble vitamins
Give an example fatty acid derived lipid
Phospholipids, triglycerides
HMG derived lipids examples
Cholestrol and ketone bodies
Fat-soluble vitamins examples of types
A DEK Ah don’t eat kale
During fatty acid metabolism what acts on fatty acids in the stomach to break them down
Lipases
Fatty acids are recombined and packaged into what in the small intestine
Chylomicrons
Chyomicrons travel system
Lymphatic
Two fates of chyomicrons
Two adipose tissue to deposit the TAG for storage
order of tissues where they can be oxidised
What hormone would cause TAG stored in adipose to travel to consumer tissue
Glycagon
Red fatty acid oxidation not occur
In red blood cells as have no mitochondria
and in the brain as can’T cross the blood-brain barrier
What enzyme is used to combined coenzyme A with fatty acid
Acrylic coenzyme synthase
Transports fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane
carnitine shuttle
How is glycerol metabolised
Converted to glycerol phosphate violation kinase
Eva enters glycolysis or confines of fatty acids to make TAG
Three main ketone bodies
Acetone
acetoacetate
B- hydroxybutyrate
