Classification of lipids, based on their backbone structures:
Simple lipids:
Acylglycerols, steroids, waxes.
Complex lipids:
phospholipids
glycerophospholipids, sphingophospholipids.
glycolipids
glycosylglycerols, glycosphingolipids.

Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides)• Fatty acid esters of the alcohol
glycerol are called acylglycerols or glycerides; they are sometimes re ferred to as "neutral fats," a term that has become archaic. When all three hydroxyl groups of glycerol are esterified with fatty acids, the structure is called a triacylglycerol:
Triacylglycerols are the most abundant family of lipids and the major components of depot or storage lipids in plant and animal cells. Triacylglycerols that are solid at room temperature are often referred to as "fats" and those which are liquid as "oils."
![Page 6: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Storage and Mobilization of Fatty Acids
• TGs are delivered to adipose tissue in the form of chylomicrones and VLDL, hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase into fatty acids and glycerol, which are taken up by adipocytes.
• Then fatty acids are reesterified to TGs.• TGs are stored in adipocytes.• To supply energy demands fatty acids and
glycerol are released – mobilisation of TGs.
![Page 7: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
At low carbohydrate and insulin concentrations (during fasting), TG hydrolysis is stimulated by epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, and adrenocorticotropic
hormone.
TG hydro-lysis is inhibited by insulin in fed state
![Page 8: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Lipolysis - hydrolysis of triacylglycerols by lipases.
• A hormone-sensitive lipase converts TGs to free fatty acids and monoacylglycerol
• Monoacylglycerol is hydrolyzed to fatty acid and glycerol or by a hormone-sensitive lipase or by more specific and more active monoacylglycerol lipase
![Page 9: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Oxidation of Glycerol• Glycerol is absorbed by the liver.
• Steps: phosphorylation, oxidation and isomerisation.
• Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is an intermediate in:• glycolytic pathway• gluconeogenic pathways

Connections to Electron Transport and ATP.
One turn of the fatty acid spiral produces ATP from the interaction of the coenzymes FAD (step 1) and NAD+ (step 3) with
the electron transport chain. • Total ATP per turn of the fatty acid spiral is
• Step 1 - FAD into e.t.c. = 2 ATPStep 3 - NAD+ into e.t.c. = 3 ATP Total ATP per turn of spiral = 5 ATP
• Example with Palmitic Acid = 16 carbons = 8 acetyl groups
• Number of turns of fatty acid spiral = 8-1 = 7 turns• ATP from fatty acid spiral = 7 turns and 5 per turn = 35 ATP.
• NET ATP from Fatty Acid Spiral = 35 - 1 = 34 ATP

Fatty Acid Synthesis
• Occurs mainly in liver and adipocytes, in mammary glands during lactation
• Occurs in cytoplasm
• FA synthesis and degradation occur by two completely separate pathways
![Page 19: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Three stages of fatty acid synthesis:
• A. Transport of acetyl CoA into cytosolAcetyl CoA from catabolism of carbohydrates and
amino acids is exported from mitochondria via the citrate transport system
Cytosolic NADH also converted to NADPHTwo molecules of ATP are expended for each
round of this cyclic pathway
• B. Carboxylation of acetyl CoA• C. Assembly of fatty acid chain
![Page 20: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sources of NADPH for Fatty Acid Synthesis
1. One molecule of NADPH is generated for each molecule of acetyl CoA that is transferred from mitochondria to the cytosol (malic enzyme).
2. NADPH molecules come from the pentose phosphate pathway.
![Page 22: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
B. Carboxylation of Acetyl CoA
Enzyme: acetyl CoA carboxylase Prosthetic group - biotin
A carboxybiotin intermediate is formed. ATP is hydrolyzed. The CO2 group in carboxybiotin is transferred to acetyl CoA to form malonyl CoA.Acetyl CoA carboxylase is the regulatory enzyme.
![Page 23: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
C. The Reactions of Fatty Acid Synthesis
n Five separate stages:(1) Loading of precursors via thioester derivatives(2) Condensation of the precursors(3) Reduction(4) Dehydration(5) Reduction
![Page 24: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The elongation phase of fatty acid synthesis starts with the formation of acetyl ACP and malonyl ACP.
• Acetyl transacylase and malonyl transacylase catalyze these reactions.
• Acetyl CoA + ACP acetyl ACP + CoA Malonyl CoA + ACP malonyl ACP + CoA
![Page 25: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Condensation reaction.
• Acetyl ACP and malonyl ACP react to form acetoacetyl ACP.
• Enzyme - acyl-malonyl ACP condensing enzyme.
![Page 26: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Reduction.
• Acetoacetyl ACP is reduced to D-3-hydroxybutyryl ACP.
• NADPH is the reducing agent
• Enzyme: -ketoacyl ACP reductase
![Page 27: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Dehydration.
• D-3-hydroxybutyryl ACP is dehydrated to form crotonyl ACP
• Enzyme: 3-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydratase
![Page 28: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Reduction.
• The final step in the cycle reduces crotonyl ACP to butyryl ACP.
• NADPH is reductant.• Enzyme - enoyl ACP
reductase.
• This is the end of first elongation cycle (first round).
![Page 29: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• In the second round butyryl ACP condenses with malonyl ACP to form a C6--ketoacyl ACP.
• Reduction, dehydration, and a second reduction convert the C6--ketoacyl ACP into a C6-acyl ACP, which is ready for a third round of elongation.
![Page 30: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

• Rounds of synthesis continue until a C16 palmitoyl group is formed
• Palmitoyl-ACP is hydrolyzed by a thioesterase
![Page 31: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The overall equation for palmitic acid biosynthesis
starting from acetyl-S-CoA:
8 Acetyl—S—CoA + 14NADPH + 14H+ + 7ATP + H2O palmitic acid + 8CoA + 14NADP+ + 7ADP + 7P.

Ketogenesis
• The ketone bodies are
• acetoacetate• b-hydroxybutyrate • acetone
![Page 33: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Ketogenesis is the process by which ketone bodies are
produced as a result of fatty acid breakdown

The ways of formation of active form of glycerol.There are two ways of formation of active form
of glycerol.• 1. Phosphorilation of glycerol through the action
of glycerol kinase:ATP + glycerol glycerol 3-phosphate + ADP• 2. Reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate
which is the product of the aldolase reaction of glycolysis. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is reduced to glycerol 3-phosphate by the NAD-linked glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase of the cytosol:
• Dihydroxyacetone phosphate + NADH + H+ glycerol 3-phosphate + NAD

• The activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase depends on its phosphorylation status .In its inactive form acetyl-CoA carboxylase is phosphorylated in serine, whereas the active form is not phosphorylated.
![Page 40: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The phosporylation of acetyl CoA carboxylase is catalyzed by an AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK).
High AMP levels induce the phosphorylation and inactivation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
![Page 41: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis
![Page 42: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Bile acids perform such functions:
1. eliminating cholesterol from the body; driving the flow of bile to eliminate catabolites from the liver;
2. emulsifying lipids and fat soluble vitamins in the intestine;
3. and aiding in the reduction of the bacteria flora found in the small intestine and biliary tract.

Obesity is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, which can lead to heart attack.
![Page 46: Classification of lipids , based on their backbone structures:](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56813428550346895d9b1729/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Atherosclerosis• Atherosclerosis - the process in which deposits
of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and other substances build up in the inner lining of an artery. It usually affects large and medium-sized arteries.
• Plaques can grow large enough to significantly reduce the blood's flow through an artery. But most of the damage occurs when they become fragile and rupture. Plaques that rupture cause blood clots to form that can block blood flow or break off and travel to another part of the body. If either happens and blocks a blood vessel that feeds the heart, it causes a heart attack. If it blocks a blood vessel that feeds the brain, it causes a stroke. And if blood supply to the arms or legs is reduced, it can cause difficulty walking and eventually lead to gangrene.
