| Bile Salts | Steroid derivatives in bile; responsible for the emulsification of ingested lipids. |

| Micelle | A droplet with hydrophilic portions on the outside; a spherical aggregation of bile salts, monoglycerides, and fatty acids in the lumen of the intestinal tract. |
| Chylomicrons | Relatively large droplets that may contain triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol in association with proteins; synthesized and released by intestinal cells and transported to the venous blood by the lymphatic system. |
| Lipoprotein | A compound containing a relatively small lipid bound to a protein. |
| Lipoprotein lipase | Enzyme that breaks down the chylomicrons and releases fatty acids and monoglycerides that can diffuse into the interstitial fluid. |
| Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) | A lipoprotein responsible for delivering cholesterol to peripheral tissues. |
| High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) | A lipoprotein with a relatively small lipid content; responsible for the movement of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver. |
| Lipolysis | The catabolism of lipids as a source of energy. |
| Beta-oxidation | Fatty acid catabolism that produces molecules of acetyl-CoA. |
| Lipogenesis | The synthesis of lipids from non lipid precursors. |
| Linolenic acid | Omega-3 fatty acid |

| Omega-6 | Fatty acid |
| Essential fatty acids | Fatty acids that cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained from the diet. |
| Pepsin | The chief digestive enzyme in the stomach, which breaks down proteins into polypeptides. |
| Enteropeptidase | An enzyme released by the duodenum epithelium converting the proenzyme trypsinogen to the proteolytic enzyme trypsin. |
| Trypsin | A digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in the small intestine. |
| Chymotrypsin | serine proteases from pancreas. |
| Carboxypeptidase | enzymes (particularly of pancreas) that remove the c terminal amino acid from a protein or peptide. Carboxypeptidase a, will remove any amino acid, carboxypeptidase B is specific for terminal lysine or arginine. |
