In Exercises 13 34, test for symmetry and then graph each polar equation.
NTR 241 chapter 5 notes Q: The two essential fatty acids are linoleic acid and _______ o Alpha-linolenic acid Q: Which of the following criteria are triglycerides not classified by o Number of glycerol “backbones” Q: The 3-carbon backbone found in all triglycerides is ______ o Glycerol Q: Most body fat is stored as what type of lipid o Triglycerides Q: What is recommended daily fat intake for someone consuming a 2000 calorie diet o 55 grams Essential fatty acids o Essential fatty acids (EFAs): can’t be made by the body so must be obtained from food Precursors to eicosanoids Have several cellular functions: Regulate inflammation Vasodilation Vasoconstriction o 2 EFAs in our diet Linoleic acid: omega-6 Found in vegetable and nut oils Alpha-linolenic acid: omega-3 Can be converted to a limited amound of EPA and DHA Found in vegetables, soy, flax seeds, walnuts EPA and DHA fats o 2 other types of omega-3 fat: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) o Found in fish, shellfish, and fish oil o Play role in reducing risk of heart disease by: Reducing inflammatory responses Reducing blood clotting Reducing plasma triglycerides Phospholipids o Phospholipid structure differs slightly from TG: Made of glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acids, phosphate Soluble in water Hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail (lipoprotein that can carry fat and cholesterol) o Functions: Transport fat in bloodstream Regulates substances entering and leaving cell Act as component of bile o Food sources: egg yolks, soybeans, peanuts, emulsifying agent in processed foods and salad dressings Sterols o Sterols contain multiple rings of carbon atoms o Plant sterols appear to block the absorption of dietary cholesterol Fortified food products o Cholesterol is made in our bodies so not necessary to consume in diet o Functions: Component of adrenal and sex hormones, vitamin D Part of bile Digestion of fats o Lingual lipase plays minor role o Stomach mixes and breaks up lipids into smaller droplets Gastric lipase digests few TGs o Majority occurs in small intestine Cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin stimulate gallbladder to release bile Bile emulsifies fat into small droplets Pancreatic lipase enzymes break fat into 2 fatty acids and a monoglyceride Absorption of fats o Digested fatty acids are taken into enterocyte via micelle for absorption o Once in enterocytes, Fas are repackaged into triglycerides and taken up by lipoprotein to be transported through bloodstream Chylomicron: type of lipoprotein produced in intestine to transport lipids from a meal Composed of fatty acids surrounded by phospholipids and proteins Soluble in water o Chylomicrons Travel through lymphatic system Transferred to bloodstream o Triglycerides in chylomicrons must be disassembled by lipoprotein lipase before they can enter body cells Fabulous fat functions o Major fuel at rest o Fuels endurance exercise o Long-term energy storage o EFAs make other compounds o Improve absorption of fat-soluble vitamins o Regulates and optimizes cell function o Protects body o Provides flavors and textures of foods o Contributes to satiation of meal How much fat o 1 gram of fat provides 9 kcalories o AMDR for fat: 20-35% of calories o Minimize saturated and trans fatty acid intake to lower risk of heart disease Saturated: less than 7% of energy Trans fat: reduced to the absolute minimum o Active people may need more energy from carbs and may benefit from fat intake of 20-25% of total calories Food sources of fat o Visible fats Fats we add to foods Butter, cream, mayo, salad dressings o Invisible fats Fats hidden within foods Occur naturally or added during processing Baked goods, dairy, meats, fast foods o Beneficial fats Omega-3 fatty acids may be low in diets Fish, walnuts, soy, canola, flaxseed o Switching to more healthful fats without increasing total fat intake Use olive or canola oil in place of butter or margarine Select low-fat or nonfat dairy products o Fat replacers Used to lower fat content of foods Found in chips, cakes, cookies May cause GI side effects in large amounts Example: olestra (olean) Cardiovascular disease o Dysfunction of the heart of blood vessels o Can result in heart attack or stroke o Risk factors Being overweight Physical inactivity Smoking High BP Diabetes mellitus Inflammation o Risk can be assessed by analyzing blood lipids include: Chylomicrons: present only after a meal Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) Low density lipoproteins (LDL) High density lipoproteins (HDL) o Diets high in saturated fats Decrease in removal of LDLs from blood Increase blood cholesterol levels Contribut
