Carbohydrates of Physiologic Significance CARBOHYDRATES ARE ALDEHYDE OR KETONE DERIVATIVES OF POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOLS (1) Monosaccharides are those carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates: They may be classified as trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, or heptoses, depending upon the number of carbon atoms; and as aldoses or ketoses depending upon whether they have an aldehyde or ketone group. Examples are listed in Table 13–1. (2) Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units. Examples are maltose and sucrose. (3) Oligosaccharides are condensation products of two to ten monosaccharides; maltotriose* is an example. (4) Polysaccharides are condensation products of more than ten monosaccharide units; examples are the starches and dextrins, which may be linear or branched polymers. Polysaccharides are sometimes classified as hexosans or pentosans, depending upon the identity of the constituent monosaccharides

Glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) are complex carbohydrates characterized by their content of amino sugars and uronic acids. When these chains are attached to a protein molecule, the result is a proteoglycan. Proteoglycans provide the ground or packing substance of connective tissues.

Carbohydrates Can Be Linked to Proteins Through Asparagine (N-Linked) or Through Serine or Threonine (O- Linked) Residues
33
What are these moleculs ?
35
Lipids of Physiologic Significance (1) relatively insoluble in water and (2) soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether and chloroform.
36
LIPIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS SIMPLE OR COMPLEX
37
Fatty Acids Are Named After Corresponding Hydrocarbons Saturated Fatty Acids Contain No Double Bonds Unsaturated Fatty Acids Contain One or More Double Bonds Fatty acids may be further subdivided as follows: (1) Monounsaturated (monoethenoid, monoenoic) acids, containing one double bond. (2) Polyunsaturated (polyethenoid, polyenoic) acids, containing two or more double bonds. ). (3) Eicosanoids: These compounds, derived from eicosa- (20-carbon) polyenoic fatty acids, comprise the prostanoids, leukotrienes (LTs), and lipoxins (LXs). Prostanoids include prostaglandins (PGs), prostacyclins (PGIs), and thromboxanes (TXs ).

The General Structure of Fatty Acids The general structure of a fatty acid is a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on carbon 1 (C1). The general structure of a fatty acid is a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on carbon 1 (C1).

After PI is phosphorylated to PIP 2, cleavage via Phospholipase C yields diacylglycerol (and IP 3 ). Phosphatidyl inositol signal cascades may lead to release of arachidonate.

Structures of common sphingolipids: Gangliosides are just cerebrosides with NANA (sialic acid) attached!
68
Gangliosides Gangliosides are the most complex sphingolipids. These are carbohydrate-rich sphingolipids that contain at least one acidic sugar. Ganliosides are synthesized by the ordered, step-wise addition of sugar residues to ceramide. Synthesis of these complex lipids requires activated sugars (e.g. UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, UDP-N-acetylneuraminate…) This is just one example, more than 60 different gangliosides have been characterized. glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), N-Acetylneuraminate (NAN)

EICOSANOIDS ARE 20-CARBON LIPIDS THAT ACT LOCALLY TO STIMULATE A VARIETY OF PROCESSES Thromboxanes: produced by platelets; act in formation of blood clots & reduction of blood flow at the site of a clot Prostaglandin E 1 O OH CH 3 CO 2 - Prostaglandins: act through cAMP to stimulate contraction of smooth muscle, affect blood flow, elevate body temperature, or cause inflamation & pain Leukotrienes: induce contraction of muscle lining airways to the lungs. I won’t expect you to remember these structures. O CH 3 CO 2 - O OH CH 3 CO 2 - O Thromboxane A 2 Leukotriene A 4

MAMMALIAN CELLS SYNTHESIZE EICOSANOIDS FROM ARACHIDONIC ACID Arachidonic acid is released by breakdown of phospholipids in response to cell damage or hormonal stimuli. phospholipids containing arachidonic acid other eicosanoids arachidonate (20:4) CO 2 - prostaglandin G 2 CO 2 - O O OOH prostaglandin H 2 CO 2 - O O OH cyclooxygenase aspirin, ibuprofin cyclooxygenase 2 O 2 X stimulus phospholipase A 2 lysophospholipid H2OH2O Mammals have two isozymes of cyclooxygenase -- COX-1 & COX-2. The prostaglandins produced by COX-1 participate in “house-keeping” functions such as secretion of gastric mucin; those produced by COX-2 play roles in inflamation. Aspirin, ibuprofin and acetaminophen (nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory drugs, NSAIDS) block prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase.
