LIPIDS MAIN PT. 2 Flashcards
used for Alzheimer’s disease, age-related decline in mental function, improving thinking skills in young people, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, preventing exercise-induced stress, and improving athletic performance
Phosphatidylserine(PS)
acts as ‘chaperone’ to help the membrane proteins correctly fold their tertiary structures so that they can function properly
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)(cephalin)
means less than 0.5g of fat per serving
Fat free
DPPC
dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine
dipalmitoyl lecithin
major lipid component of lung surfactant—the extracellular fluid layer lining the alveoli
Phosphatidylcholine (PC)(lecithin)
FATS/OIL:
Lower melting points
OIL
signals transmission across membranes
Phosphatidylinositol (PI)
comprises ~7%–15% of the total phospholipid of pulmonary surfactant although major role has not yet been defined
PHOSPHATIDYLGLYCEROL (PG)
FATS/OIL:
“Bends” chain causing the molecule incapable of close packing
OIL
Two molecules of PA esterified through their phosphate groups to an additional molecule of glycerol
Cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycero)
diphosphatidylglycero
Cardiolipin
FATS/OIL:
Mono and polyunsaturated compounds predominates
OIL
found in bacteria and eukaryotes virtually exclusive to the inner mitochondrial membrane, required for the maintenance of certain respiratory complexes of the electron transport chain
Cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycero)
antigenic, and is recognized by antibodies raised against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis
Cardiolipin (diphosphatidylglycero)
FATS/OIL:
Obtained from plants
OIL
bacterium that causes syphilis
Treponema pallidum
When the fatty acid at carbon 1 of a glycerophospholipid is replaced by an unsaturated alkyl group attached by an ether (rather than by an ester) linkage to the core glycerol molecule
Plasmalogens
FATS/OIL:
Liquid at room temp
OIL
Similar in structure to phosphatidyl ethanol amine, now phosphatidalcholine
Plasmalogens
Other quantitative ether lipid in mammal
Plasmalogens
FATS/OIL:
Higher melting point
FAT
PAF
Platelet-activating factor
unusual ether glycero -phospholipid, with a saturated alkyl group in an ether link to carbon 1 and an acetyl residue (rather than a fatty acid) at carbon 2 of the glycerol backbone
Platelet-activating factor
FATS/OIL:
“Linearity” of fatty acids causing the molecule to be closely packed
FATS
triggers potent thrombotic and acute inflammatory events
Platelet-activating factor
activates inflammatory cells and mediates hypersensitivity, acute inflammatory, and anaphylactic reactions
Platelet-activating factor
FATS/OIL:
Saturated compounds predominates
FATS
causes platelets to aggregate and degranulate, and neutrophils and alveolar macrophages to generate superoxide radicals
Platelet-activating factor
a lipid that contains one fatty acid and one phosphate group attached to a sphingosine molecule and an alcohol attached to the phosphate group
Sphingophospholipids
FATS/OIL:
Obtained from animal sources
FATS
Sphingophospholipids in which the alcohol esterified to the phosphate group is choline
Sphingomyelins
found in all cell membranes and are important structural components of the myelin sheath, the protective and insulating coating that surrounds nerves
Sphingomyelins
means 3g or less fat per 50g serving
Low fat
lipid that contains both a fatty acid and a carbohydrate (mono or oligosaccharide) component attached to a sphingosine molecule
SPHINGOGLYCOLIPIDS or GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS
Ceramide-glucose or glucocerebroside – intermediate in the synthesis and degradation of the more complex glycosphingolipids
Cerebrosides
means at least 25% less fat per serving than the regular food
Reduce fat or less fat
TYPES OF SPHINGOGLYCOLIPIDS or GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS
1) Neutral glycosphingolipids
2) Acidic glycosphingolipids
Ceramide-galactose or galactocerebroside – most common cerebroside found in myelin
Cerebrosides
Types of Neutral glycosphingolipids
1) Cerebrosides
2) Globosides
means less than 0.5 kilo calories per serving
