Regulating blood sugar (normal range of blood glucose) Abnormal blood sugar: diabetes (type 1 and type 2) Attacks and kills beta cells which stops insulin production. Type 2 (insulin resistant): tissues ignore insulin and results in high blood sugar and low blood sugar. Fatty acids : location of bonds, lengths, double/single bond, number of bonds. Fatty acids are on a glycerol backbone. Trans fats: location of bond is out of sync with carbon chain. Vegetarian has to be careful they get all essential amino acids. How we deliver nutrients throughout our body. How lipids are digested (bile salts emulsifies fat which increases surface area for lipase to break down into monoglyceride and enter the enterocytes). Lipids transport from liver: in form of vldl. Fat is taken up in body cells and eventually. Vldl is turned into idl and then lpl. Lipid transport to the liver: in for of hdl.
