LIPID METABOLISM December 2007
Monogastric Digestion Challenges 1.Lipids are not water soluble 2.Triglycerides too large to be absorbed Digestive solution 1.Triglycerides mix with bile and pancreatic secretions 2.Emulsification and digestion
Bile • Produced in liver, stored in gallbladder • Except horse • Alkaline solution composed of: • Bile salts • Cholesterol • Lecithin • Bilirubin • Responsible for fat emulsification • Detergent action
Mixed micelle formed by bile salts, triacylglycerols and pancreatic lipase.
Digestion of Lipid • Bile salts emulsify lipids • Pancreatic lipase acts on triglycerides • Triglycerides sn-2 monoglyceride + 2 fatty acids • Pancreatic colipase • Activated by trypsin • Interacts with triglyceride and pancreatic lipase • Displaces bile to allow recycling • Improves activity of pancreatic lipase
Pancreatic Colipase • Secreted from pancreas as procolipase • Activated (cleaved) by trypsin • Anchors lipase to the micelle • One colipase to one lipase(i.e., 1:1 ratio)
Emulsification • Produces small lipid spheres • Greater surface area • Lipases attack TG at 1 and 3 positions Glycerol Fatty Acid1 Glycerol Fatty Acid1 Lipase Fatty Acid2 + Fatty Acid2 2 H20 Fatty Acid3 Fatty Acid3 2 Free Fatty Acids 2-Monoglyceride Triglyceride
Digestion of Lipid • Phospholipase A1 and A2 • Hydrolyzes fatty acids from phospholipids • Cholesterol esterase • Hydrolyzes fatty acids from cholesterol esters
Micelle Formation • Complex of lipid materials soluble in water • Contains bile salts, phospholipids & cholesterol • Combines with 2-monoglycerides, free fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins to form mixed micelles
Lipid Absorption simple diffusion exocytosis Short and medium chain fatty acids
Overview of Fatty Acid Uptake • Short- and medium-chain fatty acids • Enter portal blood directly from enterocytes • Bound to albumin in blood • Albumin–FFA complex • Oxidized in liver or elongated and used for triglyceride formation • Long-chain fatty acids • Form chylomicrons • Drain into the lymphatics via the lacteal in mammals (no lacteal in avian small intestinal villi) • Enter bloodstream at the thoracic duct • Upstream from liver • Slow entry into the blood
β - Oxidation Fatty Acids (with odd carbon number) • β - Oxidation Fatty Acids (Peroxisomes) • α - Oxidation Fatty Acids • ω - Oxidation Fatty Acids
Biohydrogenation of Linoleic Acid Linoleic acid (18:2) cis-9, trans-11 CLA trans-11 18:1 Stearic acid (18:0) isomerase reductase reductase Intermediate fatty acids are conjugated linoleic acids
Carnitine Deficiency • CPT-I and CPT-II Deficiency • Sulfonylurea Drug Consumption • JamacaicanVomitting Sickness • DicarboxylicAciduria • Refsum's Disease • Zellweger‘s Disease
CLINICAL ASPECTS • Impaired Oxidation of Fatty Acids Gives Rise to Diseases Often Associated With Hypoglycemia
