Lipids Flashcards
4 things needed for fat absorb in intestine?
1) hydrolytic enzymes from pancreas
2) release of detergents (bile salts)
3) uptake into mucosal cells
4) convert into particles for transport to lymph/blood
why need hydrolytic enzymes?
break ester linkages of TG
what is steatorrhoea?
fat in feces
failure of digest/absorb of fats?
steatorrhoea, diarrhea, h2o/electrolyte loss, v absorption of nutrients, starvation
what is lipolysis?
hydrolysis of TG by lipases
what happens in duodenum?
lipids mix with secretions, emulsions form, lipases act
formed by oxidation of cholesterol in liver
bile salts
purpose of bile salts?
mix with lipids to increase surface area, form emulsions, become part of micelles for absorption
what is absorbed directly to blood (not in micelle)?
glycerol, SCFA, MCFA
how is MG and FFA reesterified to TG??
energy–>FA activated to acyl-CoA derivative
chylomicron enters lymphatics to blood via ____ duct
thoracic
chylomicron cleaved to FA and glycerol by ____
lipoptn lipase
lipid metabolism in liver?
oxidation of exogenous lipids, fa synthesis from glu, synth of chol and bile salts, form phospholipids, form lipoproteins, reg. storage of fats in tissues, produce ketone bodies
what is efficiency of nrg capture from 16:0 in ATP?
40% of 129 equivalents
main precursor for FA syn?
glucose
