Dietary Lipids
-
Digestion of Lipids
Stomach
- lingual & gastric lipases
- hydrolyze short & medium chain FA
- active in children
- cows milk - short & medium chains
- food fr stomach to duodenum stim:
- cholecystokinin
contraction of gallbladder +
release of pancreatic juice
- hepatocrinin bile secretion by
liver
Small intestines
- Pancreatic juice bicarb + pancreatic
enzymes pancreatic lipase
- cholesterol esterase
- phospholipase A2
- Colipase - cofactor
- Bile from gall bladder
Bile bile acid, phospholipids,
cholesterol,
salt, H2O, bilirubin etc
- peristalsis help to break lipids
Emulsification of Lipids
-occurs in duodenum bile
-Bile acid & phosphatidylcholine
(found in bile)
micelles aggregate formed in aq
sol by subst composed by both polar
& non polar groups eg
phosphatidylcholine amphiphatic
mixed micelles dispersed diet
lipids for action of lipases
Micelles
Hydrolysis of TG
-pancreatic lipase
-Long chain FA 16-18C
-R3, R1
-Colipase activates pancreatic lipase
- anchors bile salt to lipase
Pancreatic lipase

Absorption of Lipid
-FA + 2-monoacylglycerol + cholesterol + PL +
other diet lipid eg fat soluble vitamins
packaged in micelles microvilli lipids
absorption passive diffusion
Jejunum & ileum
-Bile salts reabsorbed to portal circ ileum
-Short & medium chain FA (C4-12) absorbed
directly into intes epit cell intracell lipase FA
+ glycerol portal system
- cows milk, synthetic form - chronic pancreatitis

apoproteins chylomicrons
Lipid malabsorption
- Chronic pancreatitis - lipases
- Bile duct obstruction cholelithiasis, ca
head of pancreas
- Chronic liver disease liver cirrhosis
Steatorrhoea bulky, fatty stool
Apoproteins
- proteins that form lipoproteins
- in chylomicrons ApoB-48 (most imp)
- ApoAI, A2, A4
- ApoB-48 only present in chylomicrons
- Apo CII & ApoE transferred fr HDL
- Apo CII activates lipoprot lipase
(LPL)
- ApoE recognise by liver cells recept
Lipid Transport
Lipids are insoluble in aqueous
materials such as blood plasma.
To transport these insoluble substances
within the lymph and blood, they are
complexed with proteins to form
lipoprotein.
Lipoprotein
5 classes of plasma
lipoproteins exist in
humans:
Types of lipoproteins
1. Chylomicrons
2. VLDL (very low density lipoprotein)
3. IDL (intermediate density
lipoprotein)
4. LDL (low density lipoprotein)
5. HDL (high density lipoprotein)
Principal lipids carried by above
lipoproteins are
Triglycerides
Cholesterol and cholesteryl esters

Chylomicrons
-synthesised in intestinal mucosal cells -carry
dietary lipids
- contain apoB-48
- secreted into lymphatic system by
exocytosis.
- carried via lymphatic system- thoracic duct
into
systemic blood circulation.
Deficiency in apo B
accumulation of lipids in intestinal epithelial
cells &
leads to hypolipoproteinemia
Lymphatic system to
Thoracic duct and
finally opens at left
Subclavian vein(blood)
Main function
-transport exogenous lipid (from diet)
from intestine to liver and extrahepatic
tissue: muscle, adipose tissue
In blood circulation
- + apo CII, apo E from HDL
- TG fatty acid + glycerol by LPL
- apo CII activate LPL
- FA adipose tissue storage
muscle - oxidation
( FA + albumin )
Glycerol liver (+ glycerol kinase)

VLDL Synthesis
In liver - some of the lipid components
brought by chylomicron remnants
(exogenous)
- lipid components synthesised by liver
(endogenous lipids)
- + apoprotein B100
- secreted by exocytosis
Function
- carry both exogenous and endogenous
lipids from liver to extrahepatic tissues.
In Blood circulation
- VLDL receives apoE and apoC-II
from HDL.
- Cholesterol esters from HDL is also
transferred to VLDL by Cholesteryl
ester transfer protein ( CETP).

LDL
- Contains high percentage of cholesterol and
cholesterol esters.
Function
- LDL carry cholesterol to extrahepatic tissues.
Receptors of LDL on cell surfaces recognise
apoB-100 in LDL and internalises by
endocytosis.
- Internalised LDL is acted by lysosomal enzymes
Results in release of cholesterol into cell
- Increases activity of ACAT (acyl CoA cholesterol
acyltransferase)
Converts cholesterol to cholesterol ester
