Chapter 19 and GHW#9 Questions

Lipids

LipidsA wide variety of naturally occurring organic compounds classified together on the basis of common solubility properties: insolubility in waterinsoluble in waterLipids includea) Waxes: Esters of long chain fatty acids and alcoholsb) Triglycerides: Fatty acid esters of glycerolc) Phospholipids: Fatty acid and phosphate esters of

glycerold) Prostaglandins: structures based on Eicosanoidse) Glycolipids: structures based on Spingosinef) cholesterol, steroid hormones, and bile acidsg) fat-soluble vitamins

Lipid Structures

Eicosanoids: Messenger lipids

Glycolipids based on spingosine

Lipid classification by function

Energy-storage lipids – A fat, triacylglycerols or triglycerides. Membrane lipids - phospholipids, sphingoglycolipids, and cholesterol Emulsification lipids - bile acids, soaps and detergents Chemical messenger lipids - steroid hormones, eicosanoids, and prostaglandins Protective-coating lipids - biological waxes Fat-soluble vitamins

Fatty Acids: Lipid Building Blocks

Fatty Acids: Lipid Building Blocks

Polyunsaturated fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids

Essential Fatty Acids (EFA).Fatty acids that cannot be produced by the body and are necessary for proper metabolism. The OMEGA 6 and OMEGA 3 fatty acids are referred to as Essential Fatty Acids (EFA).

Phospholipids

5) What are the structural differences between triglycerides (triacylglycerols) and phospholipids? Where they are found in living organisms?

Spingosine and Spingolipids

6) What is a sphingolipid? Draw an example.

SteroidsContains a characteristic arrangement of four cycloalkane rings that are joined to each other. Examples of steroids include the dietary fat cholesterol:

7) What is a steroid? What are their applications?

8) What are the two major types of fat substitutes and how they work

How aspirin relieves pain and inflammation?

Aspirin inhibits the production of prostaglandinsConcept of COX enzyme inhibition

Acetaminophen (Tylanol)

Triglycerides and lipoproteins: high-density (HDL)or (LDL) lipoproteinsLipoprotein particles: chylomicronsTriglycerides transportation in the blood stream

Four major groups of plasma lipoproteins.

1. Chylomicrons 2. Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) 3. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) 4. High-density lipoproteins (HDL)

The roles of HDL, LDL, and cholesterol.

Cholesterol and lipoproteins are related plaque that causes heart attacks and most strokes.

When LDL levels are low, atherosclerosis and heart attacks are almost unknown.

High HDL levels are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease: "good" cholesterol
