Digestion in Mouth
TG 1,2 DAG +FFA
Lingual lipase:
Secreted by dorsal surface of tongue
Active at low pH (pH 2.0 – 7-5)
optimum pH 4.0-4.5
Ideal substrate-Short chain TGS
Enzymatic action continues in stomach
Short chain fatty acids: absorbed directly from the
stomach wall
Enter the portal vein.
Lingual lipase
Triglyceride degradation
Digestion inStomach
Gastric Lipase
• Optimum p H 5.4 (4-7)
• Acid stable
• Gastrin→ Chief cells
• Requires the presence of Ca++
• Short and medium chain fatty acid (30%)
Significance of Lingual & Gastric Lipases
• Neonates
These enzymes are essential for the digestion of milk fat
in the newborn because, contrary to other digestive
lipases (pancreatic or milk digestive lipase), lingual and
gastric lipases can penetrate into the milk fat globule
and initiate the digestive process.
Emulsification anddigestion
 Lipids
• hydrophobic
• poorly soluble in the aqueous environment
• Lipase, : water soluble
• can only work at the surface of fat globules.
 Digestion is greatly aided by
Emulsification : breaking up of fat globules into
much smaller emulsion droplets.
Bile salts
Emulsification of fats by bile salt
Bile Salts
• Synthesized in the liver
• Stored in the gallbladder
• Derivatives of cholesterol
• sterol ring + side chain + glycine / Taurine
• Na & K salts of Glycocholic & Taurocholic
acid
• Entero-hepatic circulation
Digestion in small intestine
• Major site of fat digestion
• Effective → Pancreatic lipase and bile salts.
• Bile salts → effective emulsifying agents
• Secretion of pancreatic juice is stimulated by
• Gastric acid /Protein-rich content in duodenum
• Production of Secretin/Cholecystokinin/Pancreozymin
GI hormones
Secretin- ↑ secretion of electrolytes and HCO3
-
rich fluid components of pancreatic juice
Pancreozymin
stimulates the secretion of the pancreatic enzymes
Cholecystokinin
Contraction of the gall bladder
Dilatation of sphincter of Oddi
Hepatocrinin-
Released by the intestinal mucosa
stimulates more bile formation (poor in bile acid)
Contents of Pancreatic Juice
Pancreatic Lipase - triglycerides
Phospholipases - Phospholipids
Cholesterol esterase - Cholesteryl esters

Emulsification andDigestion of TG
Cholesteryl esterdegradation
• Dietary cholesterol
• mainly free (Non-esterified) form
• 10-15% is in esterified form
• Hydrolase : activity ↑ by bile salts
Absorption ofLipids
Glycerol, short chain FA & medium chain FA are
directly absorbed from the intestinal lumen →
portal vein → liver
Long-chain fatty acids, free cholesterol and β-acyl glycerol
With bile salts form mixed micelles
Micelles
• Spherical
• Clusters of amphipathic lipids
• hydrophobic groups on the inside
• hydrophilic groups on the outside of clusters
• Mixed micelles : soluble in the aqueous environment of the
intestinal lumen
• Approach the brush border membrane of the enterocytes
Synthesis of chylomicrons in intestine
Within the intestinal epithelial cells, the fatty acids and 2-monoacylglycerols
are condensed by enzymatic reactions in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
(ER) to form triacylglycerols.
The fatty acids are activated to fatty acyl-coenzyme A (fatty acyl-CoA) by
the same process used for the activation of fatty acids before.
A fatty acyl-CoA then reacts with 2- monoacylglycerol to form
diacylglycerol, which reacts with another fatty acyl-CoA to form
triacylglycerol.
Intestinal cells package triacylglycerols together with proteins and
phospholipids in chylomicrons, which are lipoprotein particles that do
not readily coalesce in aqueous solutions

Synthesis of chylomicrons in intestine
Chylomicron is complex of lipids and special
proteins - apoproteins

Hydrophobic nucleus:
Ethers of cholesterol
triacylglycerols
Cholesterol
Phospholipids
Hydrophylic surface
The major apolipoprotein associated with chylomicrons as they leave the intestinal cells is
B-48.
Transport of Dietary Lipids in the
Blood
By the process of exocytosis, nascent chylomicrons are
secreted by the intestinal epithelial cells into the chyle of the
lymphatic system and enter the blood through the thoracic
duct.
Nascent chylomicrons begin to enter the blood within 1 to 2
hours after the start of a meal; as the meal is digested and
absorbed, they continue to enter the blood for many hours.
Initially, the particles are called nascent (newborn)
chylomicrons. As they accept proteins from HDL within the
lymph and the blood, they become “mature” chylomicrons.
HDL is the lipoprotein particle with the highest concentration
of proteins, and lowest concentration of triacylglycerol.
Alimentary hyperlipemia is observed 1 to 2 hours
after a meal containing lipids. The serum obtained
after centrifugation of the blood becomes turbid
“strawberry-cream blood".
The peak of alimentary hyperlipemia occurs 4-6
hours after ingestion of fatty foods. Usually, after 10
- 12 hours the content of chylomicrons in the blood
returns to normal values.
The presence of chylomicrons in the blood
interferes with biochemical studies of the blood
serum of patients. Therefore, blood sampling for
analysis is performed on an empty stomach, that is,
in the morning before eating.

Lipid Malabsorption (Steatorrhea)
• Lipids loss (including fat soluble vitamins A,D
E and K) in the feces.
• Cause
• pancreatic insufficiency
• cystic fibrosis
• chronic diseases of the pancreas
• surgical removal of pancreas
• shortened bowel, Celiac diseases, sprue or
Crohn’s disease
• bile duct obstruction
Summary of lipid digestion and absorption
Chylomicrons deliver absorbed TAG to the body's cells. TAG
in chylomicrons and other lipoproteins are hydrolyzed
by lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that is found in capillary
endothelial cells. Monoglycerides and fatty acids released
from digestion of TAG then diffuse into cells.
