1. Compound and Derived Lipids

2. Glycerophospholipids Glycerophospholipids are:   The most abundant lipids in cell membranes.   Composed of glycerol, two fatty acids, phosphate and an amino alcohol. Glycerol PO 4 Aminoalcohol Glycerophospholipids Fatty acid

3. Phospholipids Polar Head GlycerolFatty Acid Tails HydrophobicHydrophilic

4. Polarity of Glycerophospholipids A glycerophospholipid has polar and nonpolar regions.

5. Lecithin and cephalin are glycerophospholipids: Abundant in brain and nerve tissues. Found in egg yolk, wheat germ, and yeast. Lecithin and Cephalin

6. Sphingolipids are phospholipids that have an amide bond between a fatty acid and sphingosine, an 18- carbon alcohol. Sphingolipids

7. Glycosphingolipids Glycosphingolipids (cerebrosides and gangliosides) contain monosaccharides bonded to the –OH of sphingosine by a glycosidic bond. Cerebrosides contain only one monosaccharide.

8. Gangliosides Gangliosides are similar to cerebrosides, but contain two or more monosaccharides.

9. Lipid Diseases (Lipidoses) In many lipid diseases, the deficiency of an enzyme causes the accumulation of glycolipids.

12. Steroids are: Lipids containing the steroid nucleus, which is a fused structure of four rings. Found in cholesterol, bile salts, hormones, and vitamin D. Steroids steroid nucleus

13. Complex ring forms Some hormones Cholesterol Natural substance Found in membranes Gives membranes natural flexibilitySteroids

14. Steroids Cholesterol Estradiol Testosterone

15. The most abundant steroid in the body. Contains 27 carbon atoms. At C3 there is a –OH group; so it is an alcohol. Composed of the steroid nucleus with methyl groups, an alkyl chain, and a hydroxyl group attached. Precursor for adrenal corticosteroids, vitamin D and bile acids Cholesterol

16. Cholesterol in Foods Cholesterol: Is considered elevated if plasma cholesterol exceeds 200-220 mg/dL. Is synthesized in the liver and obtained from foods. 100 g 1 100 g 1 tablespoon 1 cup 1 tablespoon

17. Lipoproteins Combine lipids with proteins and phospholipids. Are soluble in water because the surface consists of polar lipids.

18. Types of Lipoproteins Lipoproteins: Differ in density, composition, and function. Include low-density lipoprotein (LDLs) and high-density lipoprotein (HDLs).

19. Transport of Lipoproteins in the Body

20. Bile Salts Are synthesized from cholesterol and stored in the gall bladder. Emulsify fats and oils to give a greater surface area for lipid digesting enzymes.

21. Steroid Hormones Steroid hormones: Are produced from cholesterol. Include sex hormones such as androgens (testosterone) in males and estrogens (estradiol) in females

22. Estradiol Testosterone

23. Adrenal Corticosteroids Steroid hormones called adrenal corticosteroids: Are produced by the adrenal glands located on the top of each kidney. Include aldosterone, which regulates electrolytes and water balance by the kidneys. Include cortisone, a glucocorticoid, which increases blood glucose level and stimulates the synthesis of glycogen in the liver.

24. Adrenal Corticosteroids

25. Lipid Profile Lipid profile includes: Lipid profile includes: 1)Total lipids 2)Triglycerides 3) Cholesterol 4) HDL 5) LDL These tests must be carried out after 12-15 hrs. fasting due the high molecular weight of lipid molecules and the prolonged digestion and metabolism. These tests must be carried out after 12-15 hrs. fasting due the high molecular weight of lipid molecules and the prolonged digestion and metabolism.

26. Phospholipids Polar group

27. Phospholipid Bilayer

28. Micelles

29. A Composite Cell Major parts include: Nucleus Cytoplasm Cell membrane Microtubules Flagellum Nuclear envelope Basal body Chromatin Ribosomes Cell membrane Mitochondrion Cilia Microtubules Microtubule Centrioles Microvilli Lysosomes Nucleolus Nucleus Phospholipid bilayer Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum Rough Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Secretory vesicles

30. Cell Membranes Cell membranes: Separate cellular contents from the external environment. Consist of a lipid bilayer made of two rows of phospholipids. Have an inner portion made of the nonpolar tails of phospholipids with the polar heads at the outer and inner surfaces.

31. Cell Membrane Cell membrane “Heads” of phospholipid “Tails” of phospholipid Fibrous protein CarbohydrateGlycolipid Glycoprotein Extracellular side of membrane Cytoplasmic side of membrane Cholesterol molecules Globular protein Double layer of Phospholipid molecules Hydrophobic fatty acid “tail” Hydrophilic Phosphate “head”

32. Fluid Mosaic Model of Cell Membranes The lipid bilayer contains proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. The unsaturated fatty acids make cell membranes fluid- like rather than rigid. Proteins and carbohydrates on the outer surface communicate with hormones and neurotransmitters.

33. Transport Through Cell Membranes Diffusion (passive transport) moves particles from a higher to a lower concentration. Facilitated transport uses protein channels to increase the rate of diffusion. Active transport moves ions against a concentration gradient.
