Chylomicrons are assembled in the intestinal mucosa…. HOW?

Chylomicrons are assembled in the intestinal mucosa as a means to transport dietary cholesterol and triacylglycerols to the rest of the body. Chylomicrons are, therefore, the molecules formed to mobilize dietary (exogenous) lipids. The predominant lipids of chylomicrons are triacylglycerols (see Table above). The apolipoproteins that predominate before the chylomicrons enter the circulation include apoB-48 and apoA-I, -A-II and IV. ApoB-48 combines only with chylomicrons.

Chylomicrons leave the intestine via the lymphatic system and enter the circulation at the left subclavian vein. In the bloodstream, chylomicrons acquire apoC-II and apoE from plasma HDLs. In the capillaries of adipose tissue and muscle, the fatty acids of chylomicrons are removed from the triacylglycerols by the action of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which is found on the surface of the endothelial cells of the capillaries. The apoC-II in the chylomicrons activates LPL in the presence of phospholipid. The free fatty acids are then absorbed by the tissues and the glycerol backbone of the triacylglycerols is returned, via the blood, to the liver and kidneys. Glycerol is converted to the glycolytic intermediate dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). During the removal of fatty acids, a substantial portion of phospholipid, apoA and apoC is transferred to HDLs. The loss of apoC-II prevents LPL from further degrading the chylomicron remnants.

Chylomicron remnants, containing primarily cholesteryl esters, apoE and apoB-48, are then delivered to, and taken up by, the liver through interaction with the LDL receptor which requires apoE or via the chylomicron remnant receptor, which is a member of the LDL receptor-related protein (LRP) family. The recognition of chylomicron remnants by the hepatic remnant receptor also requires apoE. Chylomicrons function to deliver dietary triacylglycerols to adipose tissue and muscle and dietary cholesterol to the liver.

How the lipids absorbed in intestine ?

In order for the body to make use of dietary lipids, they must first be absorbed from the small intestine. Since these molecules are oils, they are essentially insoluble in the aqueous environment of the intestine. The solubilization (or emulsification) of dietary lipids is therefore accomplished by means of bile salts, which are synthesized from cholesterol in the liver and then stored in the gallbladder; they are secreted following the ingestion of fat.

The emulsification of dietary fats renders them accessible to pancreatic lipases (primarily lipase and phospholipase A2; PLA2). These enzymes, secreted into the intestine from the pancreas, generate free fatty acids and a mixtures of mono- and diacylglycerols from dietary triacylglycerols. Pancreatic lipase degrades triacylglycerols at the 1 and 3 positions sequentially to generate 1,2-diacylglycerols and 2-acylglycerols. Phospholipids are degraded at the 2 position by pancreatic PLA2 releasing a free fatty acid and the lysophospholipid. The products of pancreatic lipases then diffuse into the intestinal epithelial cells, where the re-synthesis of triacyglycerols occurs.

Dietary triacylglycerols and cholesterol, as well as triacylglycerols and cholesterol synthesized by the liver, are solubilized in lipid-protein complexes. These complexes contain triacylglycerol lipid droplets and cholesteryl esters surrounded by the polar phospholipids and proteins identified as apolipoproteins. These lipid-protein complexes vary in their content of lipid and protein.

Theories Contributing to Modern Biology

Modern biology is based on several great ideas, or theories:

  • The Cell Theory
  • The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
  • Gene Theory
  • Homeostasis

Robert Hooke (1635-1703), one of the first scientists to use a microscope to examine pond water, cork and other things, referred to the cavities he saw in cork as "cells", Latin for chambers. Mattias Schleiden (in 1838) concluded all plant tissues consisted of cells. In 1839, Theodore Schwann came to a similar conclusion for animal tissues. Rudolf Virchow, in 1858, combined the two ideas and added that all cells come from pre-existing cells, formulating the Cell Theory. Thus there is a chain-of-existence extending from your cells back to the earliest cells, over 3.5 billion years ago. The cell theory states that all organisms are composed of one or more cells, and that those cells have arisen from pre-existing cells.

Figure : James Watson (L) and Francis Crick (R), and the model they built of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA. While a model may seem a small thing, their development of the DNA model fostered increased understanding of how genes work. Image from the Internet.

In 1953, American scientist James Watson and British scientist Francis Crick developed the model for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a chemical that had (then) recently been deduced to be the physical carrier of inheritance. Crick hypothesized the mechanism for DNA replication and further linked DNA to proteins, an idea since referred to as the central dogma. Information from DNA "language" is converted into RNA (ribonucleic acid) "language" and then to the "language" of proteins. The central dogma explains the influence of heredity (DNA) on the organism (proteins).

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a dynamic range of conditions within which the organism can function. Temperature, pH, and energy are major components of this concept. Thermodynamics is a field of study that covers the laws governing energy transfers, and thus the basis for life on earth. Two major laws are known: the conservation of matter and energy, and entropy. These will be discussed in more detail in a later chapter. The universe is composed of two things: matter (atoms, etc.) and energy.

These first three theories are very accepted by scientists and the general public. The theory of evolution is well accepted by scientists and most of the general public. However, it remains a lightening rod for school boards, politicians, and television preachers. Much of this confusion results from what the theory says and what it does not say.

Indian Nobel Prize Winners in science

How to regulate UREA cycle in human body..?

The urea cycle operates only to eliminate excess nitrogen. On high-protein diets the carbon skeletons of the amino acids are oxidized for energy or stored as fat and glycogen, but the amino nitrogen must be excreted. To facilitate this process, enzymes of the urea cycle are controlled at the gene level. With long-term changes in the quantity of dietary protein, changes of 20-fold or greater in the concentration of cycle enzymes are observed. When dietary proteins increase significantly, enzyme concentrations rise. On return to a balanced diet, enzyme levels decline. Under conditions of starvation, enzyme levels rise as proteins are degraded and amino acid carbon skeletons are used to provide energy, thus increasing the quantity of nitrogen that must be excreted.

Short-term regulation of the cycle occurs principally at CPS-I, which is relatively inactive in the absence of its allosteric activator N-acetylglutamate. The steady-state concentration of N-acetylglutamate is set by the concentration of its components acetyl-CoA and glutamate and by arginine, which is a positive allosteric effector of N-acetylglutamate synthetase.

Reaction catalyzed by N-acetylglutamate synthetase

What is the importance of Clinical Significance of Lipoprotein Metabolism..?

Fortunately, few individuals carry the inherited defects in lipoprotein metabolism that lead to hyper- or hypolipoproteinemias (see Tables below for brief descriptions). Persons suffering from diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism and kidney disease often exhibit abnormal lipoprotein metabolism as a result of secondary effects of their disorders. For example, because lipoprotein lipase (LPL) synthesis is regulated by insulin, LPL deficiencies leading to Type I hyperlipoproteinemia may occur as a secondary outcome of diabetes mellitus. Additionally, insulin and thyroid hormones positively affect hepatic LDL-receptor interactions; therefore, the hypercholesterolemia and increased risk of athersclerosis associated with uncontrolled diabetes or hypothyroidism is likely due to decreased hepatic LDL uptake and metabolism.

Of the many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may be the most prevalent in the general population. Heterozygosity at the FH locus occurs in 1:500 individuals, whereas, homozygosity is observed in 1:1,000,000 individuals. FH is an inherited disorder comprising four different classes of mutation in the LDL receptor gene. The class 1 defect (the most common) results in a complete loss of receptor synthesis. The class 2 defect results in the synthesis of a receptor protein that is not properly processed in the Golgi apparatus and therefore is not transported to the plasma membrane. The class 3 defect results in an LDL receptor that is incapable of binding LDLs. The class 4 defect results in receptors that bind LDLs but do not cluster in coated pits and are, therefore, not internalized.

FH sufferers may be either heterozygous or homologous for a particular mutation in the receptor gene. Homozygotes exhibit grossly elevated serum cholesterol (primarily in LDLs). The elevated levels of LDLs result in their phagocytosis by macrophages. These lipid-laden phagocytic cells tend to deposit within the skin and tendons, leading to xanthomas. A greater complication results from cholesterol deposition within the arteries, leading to atherosclerosis, the major contributing factor of nearly all cardiovascular diseases.

Biochemistry Garrett and Grisham


Intended for the one (or) two term introductory biochemistry course taught at the junior/senior level, this beautifully and consistently illustrated text gives science majors the most current presentation of biochemistry available.

Written by a chemist and a biologist, the book presents biochemistry from balanced perspectives.Undergraduate biochemistry at my school is taught by the biochemistry department (not surprising).

However, as a result, we have all sorts of people taking the course from prospective chemists (me) to premeds and general bio sci majors. So the dept. uses this book and it's probably the best compromise out there.

Voet and Voet would be perfect if the course was taught exclusively for chemists, Stryer if the course was loaded up with premeds (horrifying thought, I know :) ) But Garrett and Grisham have managed to write a rather well balanced text (one is in UVA's bio dept., the other UVA's chem dept) with plenty of both chemical insight and medical relevance.

Based on (I'm sure) similar experiences they've had teaching biochem to a mixed audience, and knowing that most undergrad biochem courses tend to be taught to similar groups of students nationwide, this is the best book for a case like that.

(However, I'm getting Voet and Voet as a reference for me personally one of these days.)

Text Books of Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry is one of the good book

The Lehninger text has a long history, but given that biochemical knowledge doubles every 5 years or so, it matters what a text offers now, not in the past. The writing is simple, direct, engaging, not too easy but neither too esoteric.

The principles (as the title suggests) and the unity in diversity are emphasized, so that the student understands biochemical principles not merely facts, acronyms, pathways.

The graphics are very professional. They are comparable to any review article in hot journals such as Nature, Science, Cell, etc. The rendering of protein surfaces, and the different angles through which a structure is seen is outstanding (a good example is the section on the ribosomes).

The structures have been rendered from the PDB (protein data bank) coordinates. Most are rendered in the ribbon representation, but in many cases the surface is rendered in grey, depending on the level of detail.

Contrast this with the 3rd edition of Voet: the authors have not bothered to re-render their graphics, most are identical to the 1995 edition, a time when people only cared if you could generate a structure.

Voet's graphics are not done uniformly; the backgrounds can be white, Grey, black, some structures are taken directly from the original literature and vary widely in the format and rendering. It is not enough that Voet updated the text on biochemical developments from 1995-2004.

The Lehninger pages on the most important protein folds, for example, are very helpful in giving the student a feel for the fold, the domain composition, the size, and names of model proteins one is expected to encounter over and again in the research literature. The text contains brief solutions to all the end-of-chapter problems

Endocrinology is the study of …

The term Hormone (hormaoG= to excite) was first used by ‘William M.Bayliss’ and his brother-in-law ‘Ernest H.Starling’, both of London University college, in 1904, who showed that a chemical stimulate the action of a pancreatic secretion. These substances were then called “Chemical Messengers”.

Definition:

According to Went & Thimann (1937),

“A substance which produced in any one part of an organism, is transferred to another part and there influences a specific physiological process”.

Properties:

A hormone is a Chemical messengers. It has the following properties:

  • ·It travels in the blood.
  • It has its effect at a site different from the site where it is made, called the “Target”, hence the term “Messenger”.
  • It fits precisely into receptor molecules in the target like a key in a lock-it is therefore Specific for a particular target.
  • It is a small soluble organic molecule.
  • It is effective in low concentrations.
  • These have low molecular weight & diffuse readily.

Location of principal endocrine glands:

a) Two in the head region --> The pineal & the Pitutary

b) Three in the neck region --> The Thymus, the Thyroid & Parathyroid

c) Four in the abdominal region –> The Pancreas, The Gastrointesinal mucosa,

The adrenals & The Gonads

“About Cell Concept” for CSIR NET exam

(a) Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian microscopist, studied the structure of plants. He believed that the plants are composed of separate structural units which he called “utricles”.


(b) Robert Hooke (1635-1703), examined thin slices of cork (dead outer bark of an oak) under his microscope. He saw hundreds of very small hexagonal ‘boxes’ or ‘chambers’ which are together appeared like a ‘honeycomb’. The term ‘cell’ was coined by Robert Hooke to denote these chambers. His observations, alongwith the figures, were published in 1665 in Micrographia.


(c) Anton von Leeuwenhoek, 1674, using good quality simple lenses (magnifying upto 200 times) observed unicellular organisms and called them ‘wild animalcules’. In this way, he was the first to observe “living and moving individual” cells as compared to the “fixed” cells seen by earlier workers.


(d) H.J.Dutrochet (1824), a French scientist, boiled some tissues and separated the cells from one another. He expressed the idea of individual cells i.e., cells were not just spaces between a network of fibres, but that these were separate and separable units.

Evolution: Fact and Theory (For CSIR NET Exam)

Evolution theory explains how organisms have changed over time.


Scientific understanding requires both facts and theories that can explain those facts in a coherent manner.


Evolution, in this context, is both a fact and a theory. It is an incontrovertible fact that organisms have changed, or evolved, during the history of life on Earth. And biologists have identified and investigated mechanisms that can explain the major patterns of change.


There are four major patterns of change.


Patterns in Nature


The field of evolutionary biology seeks to provide explanations for four conspicuous patterns that are manifest


in nature. The first three concern living species, whereas the fourth relates to fossils.
