23
Q

The process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fatty-acid chains

A

hydrogenation

23
Q

makes the oil very hard and virtually unusable

A

total hydrogenation

24
Used in the fast food and processed food industries More resistant to breakdown from extremely hot cooking temperatures
PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS
25
dietary fat substitutes
fat substitute carbohydrate based replacers
26
crude emulsification in the stomach what phase
gastric phase
27
lipolytic breakdown by lipases and solubilization with bile salts in the duodenum what phase
duodenal phase
28
absorption into the epithelial cells or enterocytes lining the walls of the ileum what phase
ilial phase
29
Digestion may be initiated in the mouth with what enzyme
lingual lipase
30
enzyme in saliva responsible for breakdown of triacylglycerols and phospholipids into diglycerides and free fatty acids
lingual lipase
31
what does lingual lipase breaksdown
triacylglycerol and phospholipids into diglycerides
32
an enzyme that inhibits gut motility
cholecystokinin
33
acts as an emulsifier to combine the separated fats with own watery fluids
bile
34
allow fats to pass through the watery layer of mucous coating the absorptive lining of the digestive tract by enveloping the fatty acids and monoglycerides to form micelles
bile salts
34
breaks down the fats into free fatty acids and monoglycerides
pancreatic lipase
34
when lipids are combined with carrier proteins in the cells of the intestinal lining
chylomicrons
35
responsible for shuttling the triacylglycerols to various locations where they are stored by the body in adipose tissue for future use
cholymicrons
35
large lipoprotein that enters the lymphatic system and soon be released into the bloodstream via the jugular vein in the neck
cholymicrons
36
this enzyme dismantles the triacylglycerols in the lipoproteins into fatty acids and glycerol, thus enabling these to enter into the adipose cells
lipoprotein lipase
37
gradually release their triacylglycerols until all that is left are cholesterol-rich remnants
cholymicrons
38
approximately 25% protein and 75% cholesterol and other fats
LDL - low density lipoprotein
39
50% protein and 50% cholesterol and other fats
HDL - high density lipoprotein
40
bigger (yet lighter) and richer in cholesterol than HDL
LDL
41
smaller, more dense, and richer in protein
HDL
42
carry cholesterol into cells for normal usage, but can also deposit cholesterol into the walls of blood vessels, which can lead to harmful disease
LDL
43
scavenge excess cholesterol from the cells, tissues, and blood vessels and deliver back to the liver where these are reused or excreted
HDL
44
a compound which sustains many important body functions. In excess, it is harmful if it accumulates in the vast network of blood vessels. High blood LDL and low blood HDL are major indicators of blood cholesterol risk.
cholesterol
45
ncreased level of lipids, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol in the blood.
hyperlipidemia
46
a condition wherein the heart valves become compromised in their ability to open wide enough to allow proper blood flow.
stenosis
47
When the heart valves do not close tightly and blood begins to leak between chambers
regurgitation
48
When valves bulge or prolapse back into the upper chambe
mitrla valve prolapse
49
Defined as the excessive accumulation of body fat
obesity
