LIPID CLASSIFICATION
Complex
Simple Lipids Derived Lipids
Lipids
• Fats (Esters of • Phospholipids • Fatty acids
fatty acids • Glycolipids • Glycerol
with glycerols) • Lipoproteins • Steroids
• Waxes • Ketonebodies
3
Saturated chains: No double bonds
Unsaturated: Containing one or more double bonds
4
Classification of Unsaturated Fatty Acid
Monounsaturated
• One double bond
Polyunsaturated
• Two or more double bonds
Eicosanoids
• Derived from eicosa (20-carbon)
7
Productions and Actions of Prostaglandins
Trans Fatty Acids
• Increasing risk of
Cardiovascular disease
Physiological Properties of Fatty Acids
and Degree of Unsaturation
• Alpha-linolenic acids
(ALA): plant oils
Cardiovascular Disease
• Eicosapentaenoic
Alzheimer’s Disease
(EPA): fish oils
Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Docosahexaenoic
(DHA): fish and algal
oils
Triacylglycerols are esters of trihydric alcohol glycerol and fatty acids
15
Oxidation of Fatty
Acids: Ketogenesis
Fatty acids are transported in
the blood, activated and
transported into the matrix of
the mitochondria for breakdown
to energy
Transportation of FA
in the Blood
19
Beta Oxidation of Fatty Acids
• Palmitoyl CoA
• Acetyl CoA
20
Beta-Oxidation of Fatty Acids
Long chain acyl-CoA is cycled through reactions (2-5),
Acyl CoA being split off, each cycle by Thiolase.
2 Acetyl-CoA molecules are formed
21
Oxidation of Fatty Acids Produces
Large Quantity of ATP
Formation, Utilization, and Excretion of Ketone Bodies
23
Ketone Bodies
Soluble in aqueous
3-hydroxybutirate
Acetone
24
Ketone Bodies
25
Transport of Ketone Bodies
26
Regulation of
Ketogenesis
27
Ketogenesis
After the formation of malonyl-CoA, fatty acids are formed by the fatty
acid synthase enzyme complex.
Insulin and Lipogenesis
• Acetyl-Co-A Carboxylase
• Level of intracellular cAMP:
activity
inhibits lipolysis in adipose
• Transport of Glucose into cell
tissue
• Availability of pyruvate for
• Concentration of plasma FFA
fatty acid synthesis and
– long chain acyl-coA
glycerol-3-phosphate for
(inhibitors of lipogenesis)
TAG synthesis
Nutritional State and Lipogenesis
• Lipogenesis • Lipogenesis
• Surplus glucose and • Fructose intake (instead of
intermediates (pyruvate, Glucose)
lactate,and acetyl-CoA) – • Fructose bypasses the
Fat phosphofructokinase
control point in glycolysis
• Restricted calorie intake, and floods the lipogenic
high-fat diet, insulin pathway)
deficiency

of Diabetes Mellitus
