Section VI. Lipid Metabolism Overview Fatty acid metabolism Section VI. Lipid metabolism overview: Fatty acid metabolism: (Chapts. 32, 33) Major categories of lipids (not very water-soluble): • Fatty acids can be dietary or synthesized in liver • Fatty acids and triagylclycerol (TG) • Can be oxidized for energy → CO2 and H2O • Glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids • Eicosanoids (prostaglandins, thromboxanes) • Cholesterol, bile salts, steroid hormones • Can be stored as triacylglycerol in adipose tissue • Can be used to make phospholipids and sphingolipids for membrane components • Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) Triacylglycerol Overview of cholesterol metabolism Overview lipoprotein particles in blood Cholesterol metabolism (chapt. 34): Lipoprotein particles transport lipids in blood: • Is incorporated into membranes for stability Triacylglycerol is major dietary lipid: • Digested in intestinal lumen: free FA and 2-monoacylglycerol are reconverted to TG in intestinal cells • TG are packaged as chylomicrons (apoB) and secreted into blood ; matured with additional proteins • VLDL (very-low-density-lipoproteins) produced in liver from dietary carbohydrates (insulin stimulated) • Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) on cells degrades the lipoproteins; FA into cells • HDL (high-density-lipoproteins) transport excess cholesterol to liver; exchange proteins • Is a precursor for bile salts (gall bladder secretes) • Is a precursor for steroid hormones 1 Lipid metabolism overview Triacylglycerol metabolism: Fed state: • • • • TG digested to 2-MG and FA, into intestinal cells TG reform (chylomicrons) with protein, into blood Liver forms VLDL by lipogenesis from sugars VLDL donates protein to chylomicron, which binds LPL on cells and is cleaved to release FA into muscle, adipose Fasting state: • Fatty acids, glycerol released from adipose • Glycerol used for gluconeogenesis liver • FA used for ketone bodies, or oxidation (muscles, other) I. Digestion of dietary triacylglycerols I. Digestion of dietary triacylglycerols • Major fat in diet (storage of lipids plants, animals) • Lipases digest to 2-monoacylglycerol (2-MG) • Bile salts emulsify fat in small intestine • Bile salts derived from cholesterol Chapt. 32 Ch. 32 Digestion and Transport of Dietary Lipids Student Learning Outcomes: • Explain digestion of triacylglycerols (TG) to free fatty acids (FA) and 2-monoacylglycerol (2-MG) • Describe the role of bile salts in this process • Describe how micelles enter epithelial cells, and are reconverted to TG • Explain how TG plus apoproteins and other lipids form nascent chylomicrons that exit cells • Describe role of HDL lipoproteins to mature the nascent chylomicrons, and breakdown of particles Digestion, absorption Digestion of dietary triacylglycerols: • Lipases digest • Bile salts emulsify, colipases aid lipases • TG reform in epithelium Fig. 1 fatty acids in triacylglycerol Fig. 2, a bile salt Fig. 3:TG, triacylglycerol; BS, bile salt, FA, fatty acid 2-MG, 2-monoacylglycerol 2 Enzymes degrade lipids Absorption Enzymes degrade lipids: • Lipases cleave C1, C3 of TG • Cholesterol esterase removes FA • Phospholipase degrades phospholipid Absorption into intestinal epithelial cells: • FA, 2-MG, cholesterol, other lipids, BS in micelles • Lipids absorbed through microvilli, not bile salts • Bile salts are recycled • Short, med-chain FA absorb directly epithelium, enter bloodstream bound to serum albumin Figs. 5,6 Figs. 3,6 III. Chylomicrons Blood lipoproteins III. Chylomicrons • TG are resynthesized in intestinal epithelia • ATP activates FA → FA-CoA (in Smooth ER) • Apoproteins and other lipids bind [synthesis of TG in liver, adipose starts with phosphatidic acid] Fig. 7 Blood lipoprotein particles transport lipids: • Chylomicrons – produced in intestinal cells from dietary fat; carry TG in blood • VLDL – produced from liver mainly from dietary carbohydrate; carries TG in blood • IDL - produced in blood (remnant of VLDL) • LDL – produced in blood (remnant of IDL after TG digestion; high concentration of cholesterol; endocytosed by liver, other tissues (LDL receptor) • HDL – produced in liver, intestine; exchanges proteins and lipids with other lipoproteins; returns cholesterol to liver 3 Transport of lipids in blood Nascent Chylomicrons Transport of lipids uses lipoprotein complexes: • Lipids are not soluble in water; would coalesce • Phospholipids, protein on outside; hydrophobic inside • Cholesterol esters have fatty acid moiety • Ex. VLDL from liver (very-low density lipoprotein) Fig. 8 Fig. 33.10 Apoprotein B gene B-apoprotein gene encodes two polypeptides: • ApoB-100 in liver VLDL particles • ApoB-48 in intestinal cells is only 48% length • RNA editing changed codon in mRNA Fig. 11 Nascent chylomicrons from dietary TG: • SER enzymes reform the TG • Least dense lipoproteins (lot of TG) • Proteins made on RER • Apoprotein B-48 Figs. 9,10 IV. Lipoprotein particles transport dietary lipids in blood Additional proteins form mature chylomicrons: • ‘Nascent chylomicrons’ exocytosed into blood • Acquire additional proteins from HDL particles • ApoCII binds enzyme LPL on cell surfaces • Lipoprotein lipases • ApoE binds receptor on liver cell for recycling Fig. 12 4 Fate of chylomicrons Chylomicrons from dietary lipids: • matured in blood by HDL particle interaction • Are digested at capillary wall by LPL (CII activates) Insulin stimulates more LPL on surface • • FA binds albumin in blood • FA into muscle (energy) • FA into adipose (store) • Remnants bind liver through ApoE-receptor Recycled in lysosome Olestra Olestra is artificial fat substitute • Tastes like fat, not metabolized • sucrose with fatty acyl groups esterified on OH • resistant to hydrolysis by lipases, passes through • carries lipid-soluble vitamins Fig. 13 Key concepts: Key concepts: • Triacylglycerols are major fat source in diet • Lipases perform digestion, bile salts emulsify • Free fatty acids and 2-monoacylglycerol form • Micelles transport components into intestinal cells • Nascent chylomicrons are reformed from TG, cholesterol and apoB-48 protein; pass into blood • HDL particles contribute additional proteins to form mature chlymicrons • LPL (lipoprotein lipase) on cell surface cleaves TG and cells gain FA; remnants recycled in liver Review question Type III hyperlipidemia is caused by a deficiency of apoprotein E.
