Metabolism of lipid • Fatty acids esterified to some backbone molecules glycerol sphingosine cholesterol
Metabolism of Lipids Fats store in adipose tissue Essential fatty acids: formation of membrane, regulation of chollesterol metabolism, precursors of eicosanoids (protaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. Necessary unsaturated fatty acids
Fat Facts • Dietary lipids are 90% triacylglycerols; also include cholesterol esters, phospholipids, essential unsaturated fatty acids; fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K) • Fat is energy rich and provides 9 kcal/gm • Normally essentially all (98%) of the fat consumed is absorbed, and most is transported to adipose for storage.
SIX STEPS OF LIPID DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION • Minor digestion of triacylglycerols in mouth and stomach by lingual (acid- stable) lipase • Major digestion of all lipids in the lumen of the duodenum/jejunum by pancreatic lipolytic enzymes • Bile acid facilitated formation of mixed micelles that present the lipolytic products to the mucosal surface, followed later by enterohepatic bile acid recycling • Passive absorption of the lipolytic products from the mixed micelle into the intestinal epithelial cell • Reesterificationof 2-monoacylglycerol, lysolecithin, and cholesterol with free fatty acids inside the intestinal enterocyte • Assembly and exportfrom intestinal cells to the lymphatics of chylomicrons coated with Apo B48 and containing triacylglycerols, cholesterol esters and phospholipids
LIPOLYSIS • Mobilization of fats from triacylglycerols • Hormone sensitive lipase • Rate-determining step • Specific for removing first fatty acid • Phosphorylated form is active

Pysiological Significance of ketogenesis Ketone bodies produced by the liver are excellent fuels for a variety of extrahepatic tissues, especially during times of prolonged starvation. Reconversion of ketone bodies to acetyl-CoA inside the mitochondria provides metabolic energy.
Regulation of Ketogenesis Feeding status In the hungry state, higher glucagon and other lipolytic hormones trigger the lipolytic process in adipose tissue with the result that free fatty acids pass into the plasma for uptake by liver and other tissues. This promotes fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis in the liver.
Regulation of Ketogenesis Metabolism of glycogen in the hepatic cells once fats enter the liver, they have two distinct fates: activated to acyl-Co-A and oxidized, or esterified to glycerol in the production of triacylglycerols in cytoplasm. If the liver has sufficient supplies of glycerol-3 phosphate by glucose metabolism, most of the fats will be turned to the production of triacylglycerols. In contrast, glucose deficiency will cause a lower triacylglycerols and ATP generation, with the majority of the FAs entering beta-oxidation leading to a increased production of ketone bodies.
Regulation of Ketogenesis The fall in malonyl-CoA concentration can terminate the inhibition on carnitine acyltransferase I, such that long-chain fatty acids can be transported through the inner mitochondrial membrane to the enzymes of fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. This may happen during a hungry state. In contrast, administration of food after a fast, or of insulin to the diabetic subject, reduces plasma free fatty acid concentrations and increases liver concentration of malonyl-CoA, this will inhibit carnitine acyltransferase I and thus reverses the ketogenic process.
