Glossary beta ()-hydroxybutyrate: primary ketone body produced in the body beta ()-oxidation: fatty acid oxidation bile salts: salts that are released from the liver in response to lipid ingestion and surround the insoluble triglycerides to aid in their conversion to monoglycerides and free fatty acids cholecystokinin (CCK): hormone that stimulates the release of pancreatic lipase and the contraction of the gallbladder to release bile salts chylomicrons: vesicles containing cholesterol and triglycerides that transport lipids out of the intestinal cells and into the lymphatic and circulatory systems fatty acid oxidation: breakdown of fatty acids into smaller chain fatty acids and acetyl CoA hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA (HMG CoA): molecule created in the first step of the creation of ketone bodies from acetyl CoA ketone bodies: alternative source of energy when glucose is limited, created when too much acetyl CoA is created during fatty acid oxidation lipogenesis: synthesis of lipids that occurs in the liver or adipose tissues lipolysis: breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids monoglyceride molecules: lipid consisting of a single fatty acid chain attached to a glycerol backbone pancreatic lipases: enzymes released from the pancreas that digest lipids in the diet triglycerides: lipids, or fats, consisting of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone Candela Citations Anatomy & Physiology
