Nutrition ch 6
process of enterohepatice circulation
1. bile salts are absorbed in the ileum of the small intestine 2. bile salt travels through the blood to the liver 3. the liver recycles used bile salts to make new bile
normal artery to atherosclerotic artery (4 steps)
1.artery has smooth lining 2.cells within the wall deposit cholesterol to repair damage 3.plaque roughens the surfaces of the artery and slows flow, making clots more likely to form 4. clots and plaque block up artery completely
how many carbons do long chain fatty acids contain
14-24
how many days a week should you engage in moderate physical activity to balance energy intake with energy expenditure
5
_____________ acids can be saturated or unsasturated
fatty
risk factors for CVD
genetics diabetes tobacco use
HDL cholesterol is considered _______________ cholesterol because it does not contribute to plaque formation
good
trans fatty acide
allows the carbon chain to remain straighter
cis fats and trans fats have similar structure. why?
altered chemical structure that results from hydrgenation
hdl cholesterol >/= 60
high
saturated fatty acids
consist entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds
all lipids are ___________ in water
insoluble
which fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids
linoleic acid alpha-linolenic acid
triglyceride
lipid with 3 fatty acids attatched to a three carbon compound called glycerol
atherosclerosis
long term disease process in which plaques build up inside the arterial walls inhibit blood flow and permanently damage the kidneys, eyes, legs, heart, and brain
arteriosclerosis
long term disease process in which there is a loss of arterial flexibility
which gender is more prone to heart attacks
men
which ethnic groups have higher rate of gallbladder disease in US
mexican american american indian
trans fat
produced during hydrogenation process
long chain fatty acid
reformed into triglyceride in the intestinal absorptive cell and travels through the lymphatic system for absorption
another name for hypertension why?
silent disease people with the condition frequently feel healthy and do not have obvious symptoms that indicate trouble
primary site of lipid digestion and absorption
small intestine
cholesterol <200
desirable
eating foods that are rich sources of ___________ can reduce LDL cholesterol levels
dietary fiber
short and medium fatty acids
diffuse into the absroptive cells of villi, where they enter the capillary network (bloodstream)
pancreatic lipase
digestive enzyme that removes two fatty acids from each triglyceride
foods that contain cholesterol
eggs chicken ice cream
which drug is commonly prescribed to help people reduce elevated blood lipid levels
statins
ways of cooking to limit fats but max flavor
stir-frying pot roasting steaming
the most common form of cardiovascular disease
stroke coronary artery disease
hypertension is serious and chronic condition that increases risk of
sudden death heart disease atherosclerosis
structure of triglyceride
three attached fatty acids glycerol backbone
trigylceride
three fatty acids to glycerol
clots that remain in place and disrupts blood flow is called
thrombus
major functions of fatty acids and triglycerides in the body
to provide energy aid in transport of fat soluble vitamins insulate and protect the body
which form of unsaturated fatty acid contains a chemical structure similar to that of saturated fatty acids
trans
types of lipids
triglyceride cholesterol
modifiable risk factors for CVD
type 2 diabetes tobacco use hypertension excess body fat
3 steps of lipid digestion
-fatty chyme stimulates the release of cck -cck signals the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes, including pancreatic lipase, into the duodenum -pancreatic lipase digests triglycerides and converts them into monoglycerides and 2 fatty acid molecules
embolus
a blood clot or plaque that breaks free from where it formed and travels through the bloddstream
Cholecystokinin
a hormone that stimulates the gallbladder to release bile and the pancreas to release digestive enzymes
triglycerides of 150-199
borderline high
why are the chemical structures of trans and saturated fatty acids similar
both contain a straight molecular structure
what does lipase do
breakdown fat
cis fatty acid
causes the carbon chain to bend
what is found only in foods that contain animal products
cholesterol
to reduce risk of CVD saturated fats shoul contribute
no more than 10% of total kilocalories
ldl cholesterol <100
optimal
