Term
Is regulation of CHO metabolism or lipid metabolism more efficient?
Definition
- CHO metabolism
Term
what are the three enzymes that digest lipids?
Definition
- lingual lipase
- gastic lipase
- pancreatic lipase
Term
gastric lipase does __ to ___ % of digestion.
Definition
10-30%
Term
pancreatic lipase accounts for __ to ___ of digestion.
Definition
50-70%
Term
absorption of fat from diet requires ___ ____.
Definition
bile salts
Term
Fats are insoluble in water, they need a detergent action for digetion and absorption, bile salts are ___ in nature.
Definition
- amphipathic
Term
gastric and pancreatic lipase can break a triglyceride into ____. But only ___ ___ can break a diacylglycerol into ____. Then ___ ___ breaks down monoacylglycerol into glycerol and a free fatty acid.
Definition
- diacylglycerol
- pancreatic lipase
- monoacylglycerol
- ester hydrolase
Term
what enzyme breaks a monoacylglycerol into a free fatty acid and a glycerol?
Definition
- ester hydrolase
Term
what is the only enzyme that can break diacylglycerol into monacylglycerol?
Definition
- pancreatic lipase
Term
Phosphotidylcholine gets converted to Lysophosphatidylcholine by releasing a fatty acid, by which enzyme?
Definition
Phospholipase A2
Term
Cholesterol ester gets broken down into cholesteral and a free fatty acid via ___ ___ ____.
Definition
- cholesterol ester hydrolase
Term
long chain fatty acids and 2- monoglycerols are absorbed by the ___ ___. Medium chain fatty acids are absorbed by the ___.
Definition
- long chain FA and 2 monoglycerols> intestinal lumen
- medium chain FA> liver
Term
what is absorbed by intestinal lumen?
Definition
- long chain fatty acids
- 2-monogylcerol
Term
what happens to 2-monoacylglycerol when absorbed into the intestinal lumen?
Definition
- it is made into a trigylceride via acyltransferases and then packaged into a chylomicron
Term
What happens to the long chain fatty acids when they are absorbed into the intestinal lumen?
Definition
- they are converted into Fatty-acyl coA via fatty acyl coA synthetase (uses ATP and CoA)
- then the fatty acyl coA helps acyltransferase convert cholesterol into cholesterol ester
Term
so ultimately the absorption of 2-monoacylglycerols and long chain fatty acids are used for the synthesis of what in the intestinal lumen?
Definition
- 2-monoacylglycerols> triglycerides
- long chain fatty acids> fatty acyl coA>> cholesterol ester

- both triglycerides and cholesterol ester ultimately get packaged into chylomicrons
Term
what are the contents of a chylomicron:
Definition
- triglycerides
- cholesterol ester
- apolipoprotein B-48(made from amino acids)
- phospholipids
Term
In the portal blood, fatty acids are ____.
Definition
- unesterified
Term
In lymphatics, fatty acids are ____.
Definition
- esterified
Term
fatty acids that are 2-8 carbons long are mostly transported in the ___ ___.
Definition
- portal route so they are unesterified
Term
The majority of fatty acids are 10 carbons long are transported in the __ ___. But there is a significant portion transported in the ____.
Definition
- portal blood
- lymphatics
Term
fatty acids that 12 carbons long are transported significantly in the ___ and ___.
Definition
- portal and lymphatics
Term
fatty acids that are greater than 12 carbons long are transported in the ___.
Definition
lymphatics
Term
lipoprotein lipase is found where?
Definition
- the endothelial lining of capillaries
Term
lipoprotein lipase is in the ___, ___, and ___ tissues.
Definition
- heart
- muscle
- adipose
Term
plasma lipoproteins are ___ complexes of a lipid core of poorly water soluble constituents (cholesterol eter, trigs, phospholipids, apoprotein b48). Lipoproteins are surrouned by a __ like shell.
Definition
- non-covalent
- detergent like shell
Term
lipoproteins are __to__% lipid (fat + cholesterol) and their physiological function is ____ ___ ___.
Definition
- 50-90%
- targeted lipid transport
Term
lipoprotein has a ___ core surrouned by ___, ___, and ____ ___.
Definition
- phospholipids
- apolipoproteins
- unesterified cholesterol
Term
what is important for docking of chylomicrons on endothelial cells of capillaries?
Definition
- Apo CII
Term
steatorrhea:
Definition
- excess lipid in feces
Term
impaired lipid assimiliation is generally called ___ ___. Under these conditions fat is not absorbed in the small intestine and passes through the colon without undergoing metabolism so you get fatty poop
Definition
fat malabsorption
Term
Less than __ grams of fecal fatty acid per day is normal. Values above this suggest malabsorption.
Definition
- 7
Term
What are two possible diseases that interfere with fat metabolism having to deal with LUMINAL DIGESTION?
Definition
- defects in pancreatic enzyme synthesis and secretion.
- Cystic fibrosis
- Chronic pancreatitis
Term
what fat malabsorption problems would have to do with LUMINAL TRANSPORT?
Definition
- bile acid deficiency due to interrupted enterohepatic circulation, ileal resection or dysfunction, biliary obstruction
- deconjugation of bile acids- bacterial overgrowth syndrome
Term
Problem with fat absorption having to due with MUCOSAL CELL TRANPORT?
Definition
- inadequate chylomicron formation
- beta lipoproteinemia
- hypo-betalipoproteinemia
Term
What problems with lipid metabolism involve lymphatic transport?
Definition
- blockage of lymphatic transport
- congential lymphangiectasis
- Whipple's disease
