Lipids

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Triglycerides   Made of one molecule of glycerol with 3 fatty acids attached; provide energy, shock absorption, and warmth; carry fat soluble vitamins  
🗑
Fatty Acids   Long chains of carbon and hydrogen with an acid group on the end. Saturated and Unsaturated.  
🗑
Saturated   All single bonds between carbons, simulate cholesterol production in the liver, solid at room temperature  
🗑
Unsaturated   Double bonds, lower cholesterol, usually liquid at room temperature  
🗑
Hydrogenation   Adding Hydrogens to double or triple bonds  
🗑
Cis   Identical atoms are on the same side of a double bond, make its look bent  
🗑
Trans   Identical atoms are on the same side of a double bond, make its look straight  
🗑
Arachidonic Acid   An omega-6 fatty acid with 20 carbons and 4 double bonds; help maintain the structure and function of cell membrane  
🗑
Docosahexanoic Acid   An omega-3 fatty acid with 22 carbons and 6 double bonds; required in the retina and cerebrum  
🗑
Eicosanoids   Fatty acid derivative that regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, blood lipids and immune systems  
🗑
Phospholipids   Triglycerol with a phosphate group attached  
🗑
Sterols   Multiple rings lipids, used to make bile, sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and vitamin D  
🗑
Atherosclerosis   The build up of lipids on the inner wall of arteries, take years to occur  
🗑
Hydrophobic   Water repelling  
🗑
Hydrophilic   Water soluble (attracts water)  
🗑
Digestion of lipids   The steroid side of bile binds to the lipids that is flowing on top of chyme. Then the amino acid side of bile mixes with the water bringing the lipids with it. Next the enzyme Lipase breaks down the lipids  
🗑
Absorption of Lipids   The lipids joins into clusters called micelles, then proteins are added. Next, the cluster enters the lymphatic system to get broken down as it travels.  
🗑
Lipoproteins   Clusters of lipids and proteins. 4 types: Chylomicron, VLDL, LDL, and HDL  
🗑
Chylomicron   95% Lipids  
🗑
VLDL: Very Low Density Lipoprotein   90% Lipids/ 10% Proteins  
🗑
LDL: Low Density Lipoprotein   80% Lipids/ 20% Proteins  
🗑
HDL: High Density Lipoprotein   50% Lipids/ 50% Proteins  
🗑
Lipoprotein Lipase   An enzyme on the surface of an adipose cell, breaks lipids from lipoproteins and pass them thru into the cell  
🗑
Hormone Sensitive Lipase   Located inside adipose cells, breaks down the lipids and releases them so other cells can use them  
🗑
Hazards of fish oil   Absorbs some vitamins and take them out of circulation; May contain toxin as the oil come from fish liver; Contain high amount of vitamins A & D which can be toxic; High calories, and Expensive  
🗑
Recommend Fat Intake   15 to 30% of daily calories  
🗑
Calorie Reduced Fat substitutes   Made of proteins and carbohydratesm considered to be GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). Ex. Simplesse and Maltodextrin  
🗑
Simplesse   Egg and milk protein that blended into tiny spires that simulate the creamy of fat, non heat resistant, found in ice cream  
🗑
Maltodextrin   Made of carbohydrate that taste like butter  
🗑
Calorie Free Fat substitutes   Not digested or absorbed. Major example: Olestra  
🗑
Olestra   Made of sucrose + 6 to 8 fatty acids, can be heated, does interfere with vitamin E and K  
🗑
