Digestion of Fats (Triacylglycerols)In the digestion of fats (triacylglycerols),
Bile salts break fat globules into smaller particles called micelles in the small intestine.
Pancreatic lipases hydrolyze ester bonds to form monoacylglycerols and fatty acids, which recombine in the intestinal lining.
Fatty acids bind with proteins forming lipoproteins to transport triacylglycerols to the cells of the heart, muscle, and adipose tissues.

Fat Mobilization
Fat mobilization Breaks down
triacylglycerols in adipose tissue.
Forms fatty acids and glycerol.
Hydrolyzes fatty acid initially from C1 or C3 of the fat.
triacylglycerols + 3 H2O glycerol + 3 fatty acids

Metabolism of Glycerol
Glycerol from fat digestion Adds a phosphate from ATP to form glycerol-3-
phosphate. Undergoes oxidation of the –OH group to
dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Becomes an intermediate used in glycolysis and
gluconeogenesis.
Glycerol + ATP + NAD+
dihydroxyacetone phosphate + ADP + NADH + H+

Solution
1. What is the function of bile salts in fat digestion? Bile salts break down fat globules allowing pancreatic lipases to hydrolyze the triacylglycerol.2. Why are the triacylglycerols in the intestinal lining
coated with proteins to form chylomicrons? The proteins coat the triacylglycerols to make water soluble chylomicrons that move into the lymph and bloodstream. 3. How is glycerol utilized? Glycerol adds a phosphate and is oxidized to an intermediate of the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways.

Fatty Acid Activation
Fatty acid activation Allows the fatty acids in the cytosol to enter the
mitochondria for oxidation. Combines a fatty acid with CoA to yield fatty acyl
CoA that combines with carnitine.

Ketogenesis
In ketogenesis
Large amounts of acetyl CoA accumulate.
Two acetyl CoA molecules combine to form acetoacetyl CoA.
Acetoacetyl CoA hydrolyzes to acetoacetate, a ketone body.
Acetoacetate reduces to -hydroxybutyrate or loses CO2 to form acetone, both ketone bodies.

Fatty Acid Length
In fatty acid synthesis Shorter fatty acids undergo fewer cycles. Longer fatty acids are produced from palmitate using
special enzymes. Unsaturated cis bonds are incorporated into a 10-
carbon fatty acid that is elongated further.

Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis
In fatty acid synthesis A high level of blood glucose and insulin stimulates
glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation. More acetyl CoA is available to form fatty acids.

Digestion of Proteins
The digestion of proteins (stage 1) Begins in the stomach where HCl in stomach acid
activates pepsin to hydrolyze peptide bonds.
Continues in the small intestine where trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolyze peptides to amino acids.
Is complete as amino acids enter the bloodstream for transport to cells.

Transamination
In transamination Amino acids are degraded in the liver. An amino group is transferred from an amino acid
to an -keto acid, usually -ketoglutarate. The reaction is catalyzed by a transaminase or
aminotransferase. A new amino acid, usually glutamate, and a new
-keto acid are formed.

Phenylketonurea (PKU)
In phenylketonurea (PKU) The gene that converts phenylalanine to tyrosine is
defective. Phenylalanine forms phenylpyruvate
(transamination), which goes to phenylacetate (decarboxylation).
High levels of phenylacetate cause severe mental retardation.
A diet low in phenylalanine and high in tyrosine is recommended.

Overview of Metabolism
In metabolism Catabolic pathways degrade large molecules. Anabolic pathway synthesize molecules. Branch points determine which compounds are
degraded to acetyl CoA to meet energy needs or converted to glycogen for storage.
Excess glucose is converted to body fat. Fatty acids and amino acids are used for energy
when carbohydrates are not available. Some amino acids are produced by transamination.
