FSHN Chapter 5 Lipids
Typical warning signs of a heart attack in woman include
-dizziness -jaw, neck, and shoulder pain -nausea and vomiting
Triglycerides used for primary energy source by muscles
-during low-intensity physical activity -when the body is at rest
What are the structural components of triglyceride?
-glycerol molecules -three attached fatty acids
What are some of the risk factors of cardiovascular disease?
-smoking -hypertension -high blood cholesterol -family history of cardiovascular disease
Steps of dietary fat absorption in the order they occur:
1. Glycerol, monoglycerides, and fatty acids are absorbed from the lumen of the small intestine into the small intestinal cells. 2. Triglycerides are reassembled within the cells lining the small intestine. 3. Triglycerides are packaged into chylomicrons. 4. Chylomicrons enter the lympatic system.
The steps of fat digestion and absorption starting in the mouth and ending at the small intestine.
1. Some lipase is released by the salivary glands and stomach 2. Salivary lipase and gastric lipase begin digesting short-chain fatty acids in the stomach 3. Bile emulsifies the fats 4. Pancreatic lipase digests long-chain fatty acids and triglycerides 5. Triglycerides are broken down and absorbed in the small intestine
