HNFE 1004 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Digestion, Chyme, Adipose Tissue
Document Summary
Native greenlanders with a diet high in fat. The longer the chain, the greater the need for bile. The most abundant lipid in our diet and storage form of fat in our bodies. Hydrogenation flips the side where the hydrogens are. Less hydrogen atoms and one double bond or point of unsaturated. More than one point of unsaturation or more than one double bond. A three-carbon glycerol molecule with three fatty acids attached. A three-carbon glycerol molecule with two fatty acids and a phosphate group on the third carbon. Cholesterol (polar) makes it so phospholipids do not collapse in. Transport fats across membrane and into cell. Complex lipid with four carbon rings and a hydrocarbon side chain. Cholesterol is produced in the liver in amounts to meet our body"s needs. More lipases and absorption into the lymph. Lipoproteins made in intestinal cells or enterocytes. Triglycerides are reformed within the intestinal cell. They are packed with cholesterol, phospholipids, and identifying proteins.
