Lipids • Jessica Iwuoha, Stephen Souvall, Kelly Dickson
Outline • What are Lipids? • Structure • Chemical Properties • Three reactions • Types of Lipids “Nutrition Salad”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://nutritionsalad.artscienceillustration.com/fats-and-oils/
What are Lipids? • Naturally occurring, energy rich compounds • Insoluble in water • Soluble in nonpolar solvents • Functions • Waxy Coatings • Energy Storage • Structural Components (ex. cellular membranes) “Lipids Function”, last modified December 1, 2011, http://www.buzzle.com/articles/lipids-function.html
Structure of Fatty Acids • Fundamental building blocks of most lipids • Long-chain carboxylic acids • Polar, hydrophilic head • Nonpolar, hydrophobic tail “Biochemistry 462a Lecture Notes”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://www.biochem.arizona.edu/classes/bioc462/462a/NOTES/LIPIDS/Lipids.html
Fatty Acid Characteristics • 10-20 Carbons (usually even numbered) • Unsaturated or saturated • Usually no other functional groups “Real Fitness Blog”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://www.realfitnessblog.com/2008/11/30/dietary-fat-is-not-the-enemy/
HEALTH BREAK • What are the two types of “essential” fatty acids? “Hard Body Success”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://www.hardbodysuccessblog.com/my_weblog/2008/10/good-fats-they-can-still-go-to-your-waistline.html
HEALTH BREAK • Answer: • Omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) • Omega-6 fatty acid (linoleic acid) • Need to be obtained from outside sources because the body cannot produce them “Health by Dr. K.com”, last modified December 1, 2011, http://healthbydrk.com/
Structure of Fats & Oils • Fats and oils are esters – contain an alcohol and acid portion • Alcohol supplied by glycerol • Acid from fatty acids • Forms triglyceride “UNM Biology Undergraduate Labs”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://http://biology.unm.edu/ccouncil/Biology_124/Summaries/Macromol.html
HEALTH BREAK • Triglycerides • Fats: triglycerides from animals • Oils: from plants/fish • Structural and physical properties of fatty acids determine properties of triglycerides • Excessive saturated fat – link to high LDL levels
Chemical Properties • Similar to esters and alkenes because these two groups are present • Three reactions • Hydrolysis • Saponification • Hydrogenation “Health and Wellness Info”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://victorordu.wordpress.com/2011/10/16/what-you-can-do-improve-your-triglyceride-numbers/
H2O, H+ H2, Ni More saturated triglyceride Glycerol + fatty acid salts Triglyceride NaOH Glycerol + fatty acids Reaction Map
Hydrolysis H+ • Fats/oils + water glycerol + fatty acid • Reverse of ester formation • Digestive enzymes can catalyze the process • Important for lipid metabolism Lipase Lipase “Hydrolysis of Glyceride”, last modified November 27, 2011, http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/che/research/savage/hydrolysisoftriglyceride.jpg
H2O, H+ H2, Ni More saturated triglyceride Glycerol + fatty acid salts Triglyceride NaOH Glycerol + fatty acids Reaction Map
Saponification • Triglyceride + 3NaOH Glycerol + Soaps • Commercially important: makes soap • Salts obtained: • Sodium salts- used in hard soaps • Potassium salts- used in liquid soaps and shaving creams • Animal fat traditionally used for triglyceride
H2O, H+ H2, Ni More saturated triglyceride Glycerol + fatty acid salts Triglyceride NaOH Glycerol + fatty acids Reaction Map
Hydrogenation • Fatty acid double bonds converted to single bonds • Decrease in unsaturation, increase in melting point http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/Fat/trans.html
Waxes • Simple lipid (ex. plant coatings, cosmetics) • Insoluble in water • Esters of fatty acids • Alcohol derived from long-chain alcohols, instead of glycerol Long Chain Fatty Acid Long-chain Alcohol http://lipidlibrary.aocs.org/lipids/waxes/index.htm
Phosphoglycerides/Sphingolipids • Also called phospholipids • Complex lipid • Major component of cell membrane Sphingosine Glycerol Fatty Acid Fatty Acid Fatty Acid Phosphoric Acid Phosphoric Acid Choline Aminoalcohol
Biological Membranes • Most cell membranes contain 60% lipids • Phosphoglycerides, sphingomyelin, cholesterol • Fluid-mosaic model http://lotchibio05.blogspot.com/2010/12/fluid-mosaic-model.html
Steroids • Different structure than other lipids • 3, 6-membered rings and a single 5-member ring • Cholesterol • Precursor for bile salts, many hormones and Vitamin D • Bile Salts http://www.mansfield.ohio-state.edu/~sabedon/biol1030.htm
Prostaglandins • Cyclic compounds synthesized in the body from arachiodonic acid, the 20-carbon fatty acid • Involved in reproductive processes http://broscience.com/broscience-com-approved-articles/332-cytokines-fatty-acids-inflammation-skeletal-muscle-growth.html
