Substrates for lipid synthesisPhosphatidate is a precursor of storage and membrane lipids
Formed by the addition of two fatty acids to glycerol 3-phosphate

Triacylglycerol synthesis
Triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis is completed by TAG synthase complex bound to the endoplasmic reticulum
The liver is the primary site of triacylglycerol synthesisLiver TAGs are transported to muscle for use as fuel or to adipose tissue for storage

Phospholipid synthesisPhosphatidate is also a precursor for phospholipids
Phospholipid synthesis combines diacylglyceride with an alcohol, one of the components must be activated
Choline
Ethanolamine
Inositol

Synthesis from an activated diacylglycerol
This reaction is driven by hydrolysis of PPi
The activated phosphatidyl unit then reacts with the hydroxyl group of an alcohol

Phosphatidylethanolamine can be synthesized from CDP-ethanolamine
Phosphatidylcholine is the most common phospholipid in humans
Dietary choline is activated in a series of reactions analogous to those in the activation of ethanolamine
Synthesis from an activated alcohol
This reaction is driven by hydrolysis of PPi

Phosphatidylcholine may also be synthesized from phosphatidylethanolamine when dietary choline is insufficient
S-Adenosyl methionine is the methyl donor

Cholesterol synthesis
Cholesterol maintains proper fluidity of cell membranes and is the precursor of steroid hormones
De novo synthesis occurs predominantly in the liver
All 27 C atoms of cholesterol are derived from acetyl CoA
Synthesis begins with the formation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), an activated isoprene unit
Six molecules of IPP condense to form squalene
Squalene cyclizes to a tetracyclic product that is converted to cholesterol
![Page 14: Substrates for lipid synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816627550346895dd983e8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
HMG-CoAreductase
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate synthesisThe synthesis of mevalonate is the committed step in cholesterol formation
Mevalonate is converted to an activated 5-carbon isoprene
HMG-CoA Mevalonate
2 NADPH + 2 H+

Squalene synthesis
Squalene is synthesized from IPPC5 C10 C15 C30

Regulation of cholesterol synthesisThe rate of cholesterol synthesis is responsive to the cellular
levels of cholesterol
Cholesterol can be obtained from the diet or synthesized de novo
A person on a low cholesterol diet will synthesize about 800 mg of cholesterol per day
Feedback inhibition is mediated primarily by changes in the amount and activity of HMG CoA reductase
![Page 19: Substrates for lipid synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816627550346895dd983e8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When cholesterol levels are high:
↓ Synthesis of reductase mRNA
↓ Translation of reductase mRNA
↑ Degradation of the reductase
↑ Phosphorylation of the reductase, decreasing activity

Plasma lipoproteins transport cholesterol andtriacylglycerols
Lipoproteins are classified according to
increasing density

Familial hypercholesteremia is caused by failure of LDLreceptors and consequent high concentrations of LDL cholesterol in the blood
![Page 25: Substrates for lipid synthesis](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081507/56816627550346895dd983e8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Bile acids facilitate lipid absorption
Bile acids are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol, stored and concentrated in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine
7α-Hydroxylase

Steroid hormones are signaling molecules that are synthesized from cholesterol
Progesterone (a progestagen) prepares the uterus for implantation and the maintenance of pregnancyTestosterone (an androgen) directs the development of male
secondary sex characteristics, including maintenanceof the testes and development of muscle mass (thustestosterone is an anabolic steroid)
Estrogens (eg, estradiol) direct female female secondary sex characteristics and participate in the ovarian cycle
Glucocorticoids (eg, cortisol) promote gluconeogenesis andglycogen formation, enhance degradation of fat and protein and inhibit the inflammatory response
Mineralocorticoids (eg aldosterone) regulate salt balance,volume and pressure of the blood
