17.1Lipids

Chapter 17Lipids

Lectures


Lipids

Lipids are biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid

nucleus. soluble in organic solvents, but not in water. named for the Greek word lipos, which means “fat.” extracted from cells using nonpolar organic solvents. natural components of cell membranes, fat-soluble

vitamins, and steroid hormones.


Lipids

There are 2 types of lipids; those that contain the structural component of a fatty

acid; and

those that contain the structural component of a four member steroid molecule.


Types of Lipids

The lipids that contain fatty acids are waxes, fats and oils (triacylglycerols), glycerophospholipids, and prostaglandins.

The types of lipids that do not contain fatty acid chainsare steroids.

Prostaglandins

Prostaglandins have 20 carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains. differ by the substituents attached to the 5-carbon

ring.


Prostaglandins and Physiological Effects

Prostaglandins have potent physiological effects. Some increase blood pressure. Some lower blood pressure. Some stimulate contractions and relaxation of smooth

muscle in the uterus during the birth process and menstrual cycle.

When tissues are injured, arachidonic acid in the bloodis converted to PGE1 and PGF2 that produceinflammation and pain in the area.


NSAIDs and Prostaglandins

Several nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, block production of prostaglandins decreasing pain, inflammation, and fever.

Insert Picture of arachidonic acid conversion, top page 605.


NSAIDs and Prostaglandins

Melting Points of Fats and Oils

A triacylglycerol that is usually called a fat is solid at room temperature. is prevalent in meats, whole milk, butter, and cheese.

A triacylglycerol that is usually called an oil is liquid at room temperature. is prevalent in plants, such as olive and safflower.


Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Oils have more unsaturated fats. have cis double bonds that cause “kinks” in the fatty

acid chains. cannot pack triacylglycerol molecules as closely

together as in fats. have lower melting points than do saturated fats. are liquids at room temperature.


Triacylglycerol with Unsaturated Fatty AcidsUnsaturated fatty acid chains have kinks that do not allow close packing, such as those in olive oil.


Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids In Fats and Oils

Vegetable oils are liquids at room temperature because they have a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids than do animal fats.





17.4Chemical Properties of

Triacylglycerols

Chapter 17Lipids

Lectures


The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similarto those of alkenes and esters. In hydrogenation, double bonds in unsaturated

fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or Pt catalyst.

In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.

Chemical Properties of Triacylglycerols


Hydrogenation of Glyceryl Trioleate

In a hydrogenation reaction, H2 adds across the double bond to form a carbon–carbon single bond.


Hydrogenation of Oils

The hydrogenation of oils converts double bonds to single bonds, adds hydrogen (H2) to the carbon atoms of double

bonds, increases the melting point, and produces solids, such as margarine and shortening


Learning Check

Which of the following products is obtained from the complete hydrogenation of glyceryl trioleate?

A. glycerol and 3 oleic acids

B. glyceryltristearate

C. glycerol and 3 stearic acids

Solution


Olestra, a Fat Substitute

Olestra is used in foods as an artificial fat. composed of 6–8 long-chain fatty acids attached by

ester links to a sucrose (not glycerol) molecule. not broken down in the intestinal tract.


Unsaturated fatty acids can be cis with bulky groups on the same side of , or

trans with bulky groups on opposite sides of .

Cis and Trans Fatty Acids


Trans Fatty Acids and Hydrogenation Trans fatty acids are formed during hydrogenation when cis double

bonds are converted to an undesirable side product with a trans double bond.

in the body behave like saturated fatty acids. are estimated to make up 2–4% of our total

calories.

The American Heart Association recommends the use of soft margarine, which is only slightly hydrogenated and therefore has fewer trans fatty acids.


Trans Fats

In vegetable oils, the unsaturated fats usually contain cis double

bonds. during hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are

converted to trans double bonds (more stable), causing a change in the fatty acid structure.


Formation of Trans Fats


Learning Check

Identify each statement as true (T) or false (F).

A. There are more unsaturated fats in vegetable oils.

B. Vegetable oils have higher melting points than fats.

C. Hydrogenation of oils converts some cis-double bonds to trans-double bonds.

D. Animal fats have more saturated fats.


Solution

T A. There are more unsaturated fats in vegetable oils.

F B. Vegetable oils have higher melting points than fats.

T C. Hydrogenation of oils converts some cis-double bonds to trans-double bonds.

T D. Animal fats have more saturated fats.


Hydrolysis

In acid or enzyme hydrolysis, water adds to the ester bonds. triacylglycerols hydrolyze forming glycerol and three

fatty acids. a strong acid, such as HCl or H2SO4, or an enzyme

catalyst is required.


Base Hydrolysis (Saponification )

In base hydrolysis (saponification), a triacylglycerol reacts with heat and a strong base. a triacylglycerol splits into glycerol and the salts of

fatty acids (soap). a solid soap that can be molded into a desired shape

is produced when NaOH is used. a softer, liquid soap is produced when KOH is used. polyunsaturated oils produce softer soaps.


Saponification

glycerol + salts of fatty acids (soap)Fat or oil + strong base

Glycerophospholipids, themost abundant lipids in cellmembranes, contain two fatty acids, which form ester

bonds with the first and second hydroxyl group of glycerol.

are choline, serine, and ethanolamine. In the body, at a physiological pH of 7.4, these amino

alcohols are ionized.

Insert structures of amino alcohols pg 618 bottom


Glycerophospholipids are Polar and Nonpolar. Glycerophospholipids have both polar and nonpolar regions that allow them to

interact with polar and nonpolar substances. an ionized amino alcohol and phosphate portion,

called “the head,” which is polar and strongly attracted to water.

a hydrocarbon chain known as “the tail,” which is soluble in nonpolar substances.


Formation of GlycerophospholipidsThe formation of a glycerophospholipid occurs when ester bonds form between glycerol and two fatty acids, and two phosphoester bonds form between phosphoric acid and an ionized amino alcohol and glycerol, such as palmitic acid.


Components of GlycerophospholipidsThe components of a glycerophospholipid are choline, phosphoric acid, glycerol, and two fatty acids.

Insert structure top pg 621


Sphingolipids

Sphingolipids are phospholipids that contain a long-chain amino alcohol called sphingosine, rather than glycerol.


Sphingomyelins

Sphingomyelins, are a group of sphingolipids in which the amine group forms an amide bond to a fatty acid,

and the hydroxyl group of sphingosine forms an ester

bond with phosphate forming another phosphoester bond to an amino alcohol, such as choline.


Sphingomyelins

Sphingomyelins, are abundant in the white matter of the myelin sheath, a coating

surrounding the nerve. cells that increase the speed of nerve impulses and

insulate and protect the nerve cells.


Multiple Sclerosis

In multiple sclerosis, sphingomyelin is lost from the myelin sheath, which

protects the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. scars form on the neurons and impair the

transmission of nerve signals.

Cell Membranes

Cell membranes have a lipid bilayer that separates cellular contents from the external

environment. contains two layers of glycerophospholipids arranged

with their hydrophilic heads at the outer and inner membrane surfaces and their hydrophobic tails in the center.


Fluid Mosaic Model of Cell MembranesThe lipid bilayer contains proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. has unsaturated fatty acids that make cell

membranes fluid-like rather than rigid. has proteins and carbohydrates on the surface that

communicate with hormones and neurotransmitters.
