If you are in a fasted state and you need more energy,
we can break down fat in different parts of our body. The
body will cause an increase in epinephrine and norepi-
nephrine which activates sensitive lipase, found in the cells
of adipose tissue. Once the fatty acids are liberated, they
will enter into our bloodstream and go to any tissue that
needs an energy source.
Enter into the bloodstream at the left subclavian vein and
then circulate through general circulation. Their goal is to
liberate triglycerides and free up energy for our cells to
use. Lipoprotein lipase breaks down the triglycerides in
Chylomicrons the chylomicrons to fatty acids and glycerol. These fatty
acids can then be stored or used as energy in the skeletal
muscle, heart, mammary tissue and adipose tissue. The
remnants, which are cholestrol and protein, travel to the
liver.
Synthesized in the liver and has a high portion of triglyc-
erides. It is pushed out of the liver and back into the blood.
It is going to be broken down by lipoprotein lipase. The
VLDL
particles get smaller. 2/3 of those particles go back to
the liver to add more triglycerides and resynthesizes. 1/3
becomes LDL.
bad cholesterol. delivers cholestrol to different cells in the
LDL body that are in need of it. It delivers cholestrol by binding
to a receptor on a cell.
good cholestrol. highest amount of protein. it picks up
cholestrol around the body that is not needed or places
HDL in the body that has too much of it and takes it back to
the liver to resynthesize it to a VLDL particle. The more you
have, the better for your health it is.
