Term
triacylglycerol
Definition
>90% of ingested lipids is
Term
lingual lipase
Definition
secreted from glands at back of tongue digests both very slowly: some water-insoluble TAGs are converted to FAs and diacylglycerols stabilizing the solubility of the lipid in an aqueous environment
Term
gastric lipase
Definition
is secreted in the stomach; enzyme is active in neutral pH
• Functions for the digestion of (milk) lipids in infants whose stomach pH is close neutrality but
• Virtually no digestion of lipids in adults until small intestine because lipids are not emulsified
Term
duodenum
Definition
Emulsification occurs in the
Term
Bile salts
Definition
•Derivatives of cholesterol linked to side chain of glycine or taurine via an amide linkage
•Stabilize lipids preventing coalescing and making smaller particles
Term
Cholecystokinin (CCK or pancreozymin)
Definition
is a peptide secreted by duodenum and jejunum mucosal cells
• Secreted in response to lipids in duodenum
• Acts on gall bladder  release bile and exocrine cells of pancreas  digestive enzymes
Term
secretin
Definition
peptide hormone produced by other intestinal cells
in the pancreas to release bicarbonate solution  neutralize pH for enzyme activity
Term
pancreatic lipase
Definition
• Triacylglycerides too large for absorption by intestinal villi
Broken by ____ ___ which removes fatty acids at c1 and c3
Term
collipase
Definition
secreted by pancreas, anchors and stabilizes lipase at lipid-aqueous interface (bonds to both water-lipid interface and to lipase) and helps lipase overcome inhibition by bile acids
Term
Pancreatic cholesteryl ester hydrolase
Definition
cleaves cholesteryl esters to cholesterol and FFAs
Term
Phospholipase A2
Definition
This enzyme is activated by trypsin and it removes FA at C-2
Term
lysophospholipase
Definition
• FA at C-1 removed by _____to leave a glycerylphosphoryl base (e.g. glycerylphosphorylcholine)  excreted in feces, degraded or absorbed
Term
micelles
Definition
clusters of amphipathic lipids that coalesce with hydrophobic sides inside and hydrophilic heads outside and
these approach brush border of intestinal mucosal cells and are absorbed
Term
thiokinase
Definition
FAs are converted into their activated form by
Term
Arachidonic
Definition
becomes essential if linoleic is deficient
Term
Orlistat
Definition
The diet drug ____ inhibits gastric and pancreatic lipase
Term
acylytransferase
Definition
Lysophospholipids get new FA's from ___ to make phospholipids
Term
chylomicrons
Definition
are released into the lacteals by the enterocytes and are transported via the thoracic duct to the L. subclavian vein
Term
steatorrhea
Definition
this is caused by loss of lipid and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and essential FAs and results in lipids in feces
Term
Apolipoprotein B
Definition
is essential for chylomicron release from enterocytes
Term
adipocytes
Definition
can re-esterify FA's to form TAG's
Term
chylomicron remenants
Definition
Consist of cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, apolipoprotein
These bind to receptors on hepatocytes and are endocytosed and hydrolyzed
Term
Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency
Definition
Known also as type I hyperlipoproteinemia
Deficiency of lipoprotein lipase or its coenzyme apo-CII
This leads to chylomicronemia
Term
Type III hyperlipoproteinemia
Definition
Known also as familial dysbetalipoproteinemia
Failure of endocytosis of chylomicron remnants
The remnants accumulate in the plasma
