Document Summary

Energy source as they conserve more energy than carbohydrates (more reduced) Bile acids (bile salts) help solubilise fat globules. Their action is to emulsify fats and increase digestion of lipids: cholic acid, glycocholic acid, taurocholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid, taurachenodeoxycholic acid. Bile acids and nonpolar products of lipid digestion. No, triacylglycerols are not water soluble while digestive enzymes are. Pancreative lipase, phospholipase a2 catalyze hydrolysis of triacylclycerols to mono-and diacylglycerols. Lipids are transported via the bloodstream by lipoproteins. As lipids are poorly soluble in aqueous solution, they must be transported with a protein complex. This complex is taken up by cells in a receptor-mediated process. Chylomicrons : transport dietary triacylglycerols and cholesterol from intestines to tissues (to liver) Ldl: low density lipoprotein (transport intestinally produced triacylglycerols and cholesterol from liver to peripheral tissues) Products of lipid digestion are absorbed by small intestine and converted to triacylglycerols.
