do you know this lipid?
100
saturated triglyceride
These types of fatty acids cannot be made by the body and must be obtained from food
essential fatty acids
this is the energy density of fat
9 kcal
at this percentage of fat intake, your diet does not provide health benefits and you may be deficient
less that 15%
this is where fat digestion begins
small intestine
200
sterol
this fatty acid is found in veggie and nut oils
omega-6 (linoleic acid)
this is the main times that fat is used for fuel and endurance
at rest and during exercise
this is the ratio for linolenic acids to alpha-linolenic acid
5:1 - 10:1
this is the result of pancreatic enzymes breaking down fat
two fatty acids and a monoglyceride
300
monounsaturated triglyceride
this fatty acid is found in dark green leafy veggies, soy, flaxseeds and walnuts
omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid)
fat help you ingest this type of vitamin
fat-soluble
visible fats are this, while invisible fats are this
fats we add, fats hidden within food
fluid in the GI tract that emulsifies fat into small droplets
need a hint? its produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder
bile
400
polyunsaturated triglyceride
this is the result of EPA and DHA and are essential for growth and health, regulating GI motility, secretions, blood clotting and vascular permeability
eicosanoids
this is how fat mainly contributes to cells
regulates their function and maintains membranes
in order to be considered fat free, the amount per serving should be this
less than .5 grams
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
the primary storage site for triglycerides
ADDI FATTY
500
phospholipid
EPA and DHA are abbreviations for these omega-3 fatty acids
eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
having lipids in foods is the main contributer to these senses when eating
taste and texture
these are the types of fats that should be limited to ensure a healthful diet
saturated fats
TRIPLE PLAY
these are the enzymes responsible for most of the absorption and transport of fats
*extra 300 bonus points if you know what each enzyme does*
micelles: capture lipid digestion products and transport them to the enterocyte
lipoprotein: transport lipids into the bloodstream
chylomicrons: transports lipids from a meal
