Q

how do medium chain FA (fewer than 10-12 C) enter the enterocytes?

27
Q

what are the protein components of lipoproteins?

A

apolipoproteins

28
Q

what transports lipids from tissue to tissue supplying the lipid needs of different cells?

A

lipoprotein complexes (chylomicrons)

29
Q

chylomicrons deliver dietary lipids to tissues other than the?

A

liver

30
Q

apolipoproteins are specific for receptors on?

A

cell surfaces

31
Q

examples of tissues that chylomicron deliver dietary lipids to?

A

muscle and adipose tissue (80%)

32
Q

what is the most abundant lipid in the diet and most abundant lipid in chylomicrons?

A

TAG- triacylglycerol

33
Q

as TAGs are removed they become what?

A

chylomicron remnants

34
Q

what is responsible for the breakdown of TAGs from lipoprotein complexes?

A

vascular lipolysis

35
Q

where is lipoprotein lipase active?

A

at the endothelial surface of the capillaries

36
Q

is lipoprotein lipase intracellular or extracellular?

A

extracellular

37
Q

where is lipoprotein lipase produced?

A

target tissues by muscle and fat cells

38
Q

where does LPL (lipoprotein lipase) need to find its way to?

A

the lumen of the capillary

39
Q

in the muscle, what happens to FA?

A

it is oxidized for energy

40
Q

skeletal muscle LPL is higher in what type of individuals?

A

those who are trained and exercise regularly

41
Q

what process exports FFA to non-adipose tissue?

A

intracellular lipolysis

42
Q

what are the 3 intracellular lipases?

A

ATGL- adipose triglyceride lipase
HSL- hormone sensitive lipase
MGL- monoacylglycerol lipase

43
Q

complete hydrolysis of TAG yields?

A

glycerol and 3 FA’s

44
Q

what is the job of ATGL?

A

it is the enzyme that breaks TAGs into DAG and FFA

45
Q

ATGL is stimulated by?

A

glucocorticoids and fasting

46
Q

what is ATGL inhibited by?

A

insulin and food intake

47
Q

what is a lipid droplet associated with protein regulation?

A

perilipin 1

48
Q

with hormone stimulation (B-adrenergic), perilipin-1 is phosphorylated by?

A

PKA- protein kinase A

49
Q

when perilipin-1 is phosphorylated it gives HSL access to?

A

lipid droplet

50
Q

HSL and perilipin are both phosphorylated during?

A

B-adrenergic stimulation (epinephrine or norepinephrine)

51
Q

what prevents phosphorylation of perilipin-1 and HSL?

A

insulin

52
Q

what else does insulin inhibit as a reminder from before?

A

ATGL

53
Q

describe the steps for HSL phosphorylation

A
  1. hormone attaches to the receptor on the cell membrane
  2. Adenylyl cyclase produces cAMP
  3. cAMP stimulates PKA
  4. PKA phosphorylates HSL (activates it)
