Lipid Metabolism (4 Parts)

Synopsis: A complete, fully structured teaching programme using a presenter, still and animated graphics, and film animation.
1: The digestion and absorption of dietary triglycerides - with particular emphasis on pancreatic lipase action and the role of bile salts - and with the formation of triglycerides by the alpha-glycerol phosphate and monoglyceride pathways.
2: The structure and properties of the four main types of plasma lipoproteins with particular emphasis on the transport of lipids around the body during feeding and fasting.
3: The complete oxidation of fatty acids to carbon dioxide and water, particularly with the beta-oxidation pathway and the formation and metabolism of ketone bodies.
4: Fatty acid synthesis and beta-oxidation, the permeability of the mitochondria membrane to acetyl CoA and fatty acyl COA, and the central role of acetyl CoA in metabolism. A special feature is an animated sequence illustrating the synthesis of a fatty acid by multi-enzyme complex.
