Study Notes
- Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, requiring lipids for absorption
- Lipids are classified into simple and complex types
- Simple lipids are esters of fatty acids and alcohols
- Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a simple lipid consisting of glycerol and three fatty acids, functioning as the main storage form of fatty acids and chemical energy
- Triacylglycerol is insoluble in water but soluble in fat solvents and exists in solid (fats) or liquid (oils) form depending on fatty acid composition
- Lipids are also classified as saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and essential fatty acids
- Essential fatty acids are not produced by the body and must be obtained from the diet, with linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid being essential for humans
- Saturated fatty acids are usually derived from animal sources, solid at room temperature, and have no double bonds, such as palmitic acid, while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are typically derived from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature
- Sources of fatty acids include saturated (milk, cheese, butter) and unsaturated (olives, avocados) forms, with polyunsaturated and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids having particular health benefits
- Complex lipids include phospholipids, glycolipids, and other complex lipids
- Phospholipids, such as lecithin, contain a phosphate group and are essential for constructing biological membranes and functioning as a carrier for triglycerides and cholesterol in the plasma
- Glycolipids, found mainly in the myelin sheath and red blood cell membranes, act as cell membrane receptors and provide recognition properties.
