zymogen are…
inactive enzymes - proteins
what kinds of proteins can be absorbed in the SI at the brush border
single, di, tri -peptides
what kinds of proteins can be transported into the blood
single peptides
Irreversible Inhibition
of enzyme - ex. poisoning
Hydrolase does what

LR Detox has 2 phases:
phase 1: fat soluble compounds (ex. steroid hormones)
phase 2: water soluble compounds
Phase 1 of LR Detox uses what?
CYP450 - adds -OH group becomes water-soluble
Phase 2 of LR Detox does what?
enzymatic conjugation - “puts an anchor on it” - usu an AA
LR Detox is are highly _____ dependent.
vitamin
key enzyme for lipolysis
carnitine acyltransferase, CAT
- gets fat into mitochondria
key enzyme for lipid synthesis
