1A BIOCHEMISTRY METABOLISM OF DIETARY LIPIDS Dr. Brendo Jandoc OVERVIEW Waxes are fatty acid esters with higher molecular weight monohydric alcohols LIPIDS extracted from tissues by non-polar solvents 2. Complex Lipids insoluble in H2O compartmentalization fatty acid esters containing groups in addition to daily intake (60-150g), 90 % TAG, remaining are an alcohol and a fatty acid Cholesterol, Cholesteryl esters, Phospholipids, Phospholipids, Glycolipids (Glycosphingolipids), Unesterified/Free Fatty acids Other Complex Lipids like sulfolipids, aminolipids , TAGs are obtained from the diet or synthesized in lipoproteins the liver. They are transported in the blood as Phospholipids are lipids containing fatty acid, lipoproteins alcohol, phosphoric acid residue and frequently Major classes of lipoproteins: Chylomicrons, have nitrogen-containing bases and other VLDL, IDL, LDL and HDL substituents Chylomicrons are produced in intestinal cells from Glycerophospholipids - alcohol is dietary lipid glycerol VLDL is produced in the liver, mainly from dietary Sphingophospholipids - alcohol is carbohydrate sphingosine IDL and LDL are produced in blood capillaries by Glycolipids are lipids containing fatty acid, digestion of the TAGs of VLDL sphingosine and carbohydrate major source of energy class of lipids includes Cholesterol, Bile salts and Additional info: Steroid hormones (which are derived from cholesterol), the fat-soluble vitamins, and FA usually have an even number of carbon atoms, are 16- compounds such as the prostaglandins 20 carbon atoms in length fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) regulatory or FA may be saturated or unsaturated (contain double coenzyme functions bonds) prostaglandins, steroid hormones body’s homeostasis DIGESTION, ABSORPTION, SECRETION, AND UTILIZATION Processing of Dietary Lipid in the Stomach Lipids remain unchanged in the mouth Lipid digestion begins in the stomach, catalyzed by lingual lipase, an acid stable lipase that originates from glands at the back of the tongue TAGs, particularly fatty acids of short or medium chain length (
