| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Fat uses in the body | 1. Stores energy 2. Provide energy 3. Transport nutrients 4. Building blocks - Cell membrane - Nerve fibers covered by fat sheets 5. Provide insulation |
| Types of Dietary fats | 1. Triglycerides 2. Cholestorol 3. Phospholipids |
| Triglycerides | 1 glycerol connected to 3 fatty acids |
| Fatty acid by length | SCFA: <6 carbons MCFA: 6-12 carbons LCFA: > 12 carbons |
| Fatty acids by structure (Saturated/unsaturated) | Mono: 1 = C = C bond Poly: 2 C = C Partially hydrogenated: - Process that adds hydrogen to some sort of the unfilled bonds |
| Is cholestorol essential? | No |
| Is phospholipids essential? | No |
| Total fat AMDR | 20-35% |
| Saturated and Trans fat AMDR | 7-10% |
| Cholesterol AMDR | Not essential |
| Digestion of fat begins in... | Lingual lipase |
| Digestion of fat completes in the... | Small intestine |
| Forms __ in intestinal cells | Chylomicron |
| ___ carry dietary fats and ___ carry endogenous fats | Chylomicrons Lipoproteins |
| VLDL LDL HDL | VLDL - Provide fatty acid and glycerol to cells LDL - Interact with cell membrane receptors to deliver cholesterol into cells HDL - 40-50% of protein - Transports cholestorol from cells to liver |
| HIGH LDL is associated with what coronary heart disease | - Arteriosclerosis - Artery walls thicken and lose elasticity - Atherosclerosis - Associated with formation of plaque |
| Storage of fats in the fed state | 1. Insulin stimulates HSLL 2. Then chylomicron releases trygliceriders 3. |
| Insulin inhibits | - Hormone- sensitive Lipase (HSL) |
| 2 places to store TAG | 1. Liver 2. Muscle tissue 3. Fat cells |
| Three forms of omega-3 | - ALA - EPA - DHA |
| Which forms of Omega 3 have more potent effects on reducing CHD risks? | - EPA - DHA |
