Lipids and Lipoprotein Flashcards
Lipids are Commonly referred to as
Fats
Lipids is composed mainly of
C-H bonds
Considered primary source of fuel
Lipids
Lipids requires _____ for circulation in the blood
Lipoprotein
Linear of CH bonds that terminate with a carboxyl group
Fatty acids
Where does fatty acids mainly derived
Hydrolysis of TAG in adipose tissue
It is the most important source of energy
Fatty acids
Fatty acids are mostly bound to
Albumin
Building blocks of lipid
Fatty acids
TAG is also known as
Neutral fats
It contains 3 fatty acids attached to one molecule of glycerol
TAG
The main storage lipid in man
TAG
Similar structure to TAG except they only have 2 fatty acids
Phospholipids
Phospholipids are the constituent of
Cell membrane
3 forms of phospholipid
Lecithin: 70%
Sphingomyelin:20%
Cephalin: 10%
Only Phospholipid in membrane that is NOT derived from glycerol
Sphingomyelin
Sphingomyelin is associated with px suffetting from
Niemann- pick dsx
An unsaturated steriod alcohol containing 4 rings
Cholesterol
A hydrophilic part of the cholesterol
A-ring
Cholesterol is the precursor of
Steroid hormones and vitamin D
2 forms of cholet
Cholesterol ester: 70%
Free cholesterol: 30%
Catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol
LCAT
What organ synthesizes LCAT
Liver
Activsfor of LCAT
Apo- A1
Enable _____ to accumulate cholesterol as cholesterol ester
HDL
Termed to liberate the cholesterol or break ester bond
Saponification
T or F:
Cholesterol also served as a source of fuel
False ( do not serve, because it is not readily catabolized by most cell)
Surface of lipoprotein
Cholesterol and phospholipids
Core of lipoprotein
TAG and cholesteteryl ester
Main purpose of lipoprotein
To deliver the fuel to peripheral cell
Primarily located on the surface of lipoprotein particles
Apolipoprotein
Major location of apo a1 and apo a2
HDL
Major location of apo b-100
LDL and VLDL
Major locatof apo b48
Chylomicrons
