Lipid Metabolism Fat Digestion Flashcards
Esterified to glycerol to triglyceride
Degradation of stored triglyceride
Undergoes oxidation to generate energy
Dietary lipids
Endogenous synthesis
Simple lipids to complex lipids
Degradation of complex lipids
Complex lipids to fatty acids derivatives
Example of complex lipids to fatty acids derivatives
Arachidonic acid to eicosanoids
2 kinds of eicosanoids
Prostanoids
Leukotrine
Example of prostanoids
Prostaglandins
Thromboxane
Prostacyclin
Chemical mediators of inflammation
Leukotriene
Metabolism of lipids
Metabolism of fatty acids
Process of storage of fatty acids
Triglyceride synthesis
Storage form of fatty acids
Triacylglycerol
Most abundant lipid in diet
Triacylglycerol
TAG that are solid in room temperature
FAT
TAG that are liquid at room temperature
Oil
Lipolytic or fat digesting enzymes
Lipases
Lingual lipase
Location
Dorsal tonque, ebners gland
Lingual lipase
Affectivity
Short chain fatty acids
Lingual lipase
Stability
Acid stable
Not easily degraded by low pH
Fatty acids from diet
Long chain
Gastric lipase
Location
Stomach, mucosal cells
Gastric lipase
Affectivity
Short chain fatty acids
Gastric lipase
Stability
Acid stable
Not easily degraded by low pH
Most important lipase in fats digestion
Pancreactic lipase
Bile acids and bile salts
Not digestive enzymes
