Map content
lipids
- they are a group of organic compounds (soluble in organic solvents and appears in organs)
- medical and biological importance: -thermal insulator and protective coating on organ surface. -Source of energy, involved in transport metabolic fuel. -Storing energy in the human body because: 1- Energy content of fat is higher. 2- Only fat can be stored in a concentrated water free form. - A component of cell memberane and nervous tissue. - Precursor for synthesis of complex molecules. - Essential for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. - Concerned in cell recognition, species specificity - Some substrate classified among the lipids have intense biological activity includes some hormones and vitamins.
simple lipids
- fat
- It is an ESTER: alcohol+ fatty acid. fats= glycerol+ fatty acid
- monoacylglycerol
- one fatty acid+glycerol
- diacylglycerol
- two fatty acids+glycerol
- triacylglycerol
- 3 fatty acids +glycerol
- simple triglyceride
- all three fatty acids esterified to glycerol re the SAME
- mixed triglyceride
- three fatty acids esterified to glycerol are different
- wax
- fat
comlolex lipids
- phospholipids
- simple lipid+phosphate
- glycerophospholipid
- fatty acid+glycerol+phosphate
- phosphatidyle choline (lecithin)
- diacylglycerol+phosphate +choline
- phosphatidyle inositol
- diacylglycerol+phosphate +inositol
- dipalmitoyl lecithin
- diacylglycerol+phosphate+ palmitic acid
- cardiolipins
- lysophospholipids
- plasmalogens
- sphingolipid
- glycolipids
- cerebrosides
- gangliosides
- sphingomyelins
- glycolipids
- phospholipids
derived lipids
- fatty acids
- acids derived from fat
- besed on the nature of hydrocarbon side chain
- short
- medium
- long
- very long
- based on hydrocarbon side chain length
- saturated
- Unsaturated
- essential fatty acids
- monounsaturated
- polyunsaturated
- eicosanoids
- prostanoids
- prostaglanoids(PG)
- based on the number of double bonds in the side
- PG1
- PG2
- PG3
- based on the number of double bonds in the side
- prostacyclin(PGI)
- thromboxane(TX)
- prostaglanoids(PG)
- leukotrienes(LT)
- lipoxin(LX)
- prostanoids
- steroid
- glycerol
- retinol
- fatty acids
