Study Notes
Lipids Overview
- Cholesterol is a lipid exclusive to animal products.
- Class of nutrients including fats and cholesterol is called lipids.
- Fats yield 9 kilocalories per gram.
Body Fat and Cardiovascular Health
- Excess abdominal fat correlates with elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
- Hypertension is characterized by abnormally high blood pressure and poses a major cardiovascular disease risk.
- Non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) include family history and increasing age.
Fatty Acids
- Cis fatty acids cause carbon chains to bend; trans fatty acids keep the chain straighter.
- Dietary fats typically consist of different types of fatty acids.
Nutrition and Dietary Guidelines
- Dietary Guidelines recommend that adults keep fat intake between 20% and 35% of total calories.
- Nutrition Facts panels disclose amounts of cholesterol, total fat, trans fat, and saturated fat.
Digestive Processes and Enzymes
- Pancreatic lipase is the enzyme that removes two fatty acids from triglycerides.
- Cholecystokinin stimulates bile release from the gallbladder and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
Cardiovascular Conditions and Terms
- A thrombus is a fixed blood clot disrupting blood flow; an embolus travels through the bloodstream after breaking free.
- Atherosclerosis refers to the long-term buildup of plaques inside arterial walls.
- Common forms of CVD in the US include stroke and coronary artery disease.
Alcohol and Hydration
- Alcohol suppresses the production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), causing increased urine excretion and dehydration.
Triglyceride Structure
- A triglyceride is composed of three attached fatty acids and a glycerol backbone.
Phospholipids
- Phospholipids contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions, making them unique in water interaction.
