Lipo mechinisms Flashcards
LCAT involves the transfer of what to what
Fatty acid from phospholipid to cholesterol
LCAT is associated with
HDL
HDL take LCAT to
Cholesterol
HDL goes to
Peripheral tissue where cholesterol is being acclumulating
HDL + LCAT to tissue then
LCAT makes cholesterol ester and it then gets in center of HDL and then HDL moves cholesterol to liver.
Is there a pathological disease caused by LCAT
Yes, Lcat deficiency will cause an accumulation of cholesterol.
Acyl coA is a source of
FA’s for esterification
Hyper lipid conditions are associated with
more LCAT
TG’s store
Fatty acids
Plasma TG’s are from
Intestines and liver
Unsaturated Fatty acids
Have double bonds
Saturated fatty acids have
no double bonds
Vegatables contains more
Unsaturated fatty acids which are healthier and are liquid at room temperature
meat contains more
saturated fatty acids which are solids at room temp and are unhealthier
Lipids + sugar
glycolipids
Prostaglandins
Do cell to cell communication and are synthesised as needed. They have a short half life
PGA with subscript 2
Prostaglandin A with 2 double bonds
Phospholipids are
water soluble
Cholesterol cant be
stored
Fats are blank by bile salts
emulsified
Emulsified and digestive enzymes
need to make fats into smaller pieces before digestive enzymes Lipase, Cholesterol esterase can work on fats
Phospholipids have a
hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
A cofactor of digestive enzymes is
Bile salts
Fats have to be what size to be used by digestive enzymes
1 mm small
