  2. Lipase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipase

    Other lipase enzymes, such as pancreatic lipases, are secreted into extracellular spaces where they serve to process dietary lipids into more simple forms that can be more easily absorbed and transported throughout the body. Fungi and bacteria may secrete lipases to facilitate nutrient absorption from the external medium (or in examples of ...

  3. Lipoprotein lipase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein_lipase

    Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) (EC 3.1.1.34, systematic name triacylglycerol acylhydrolase (lipoprotein-dependent)) is a member of the lipase gene family, which includes pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase.

  4. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    Bile salts: Bile salts are secreted from liver and they facilitate lipid digestion in the small intestine. [27] Eicosanoids: Eicosanoids are made from fatty acids in the body and they are used for cell signaling. [28] Ketone bodies: Ketone bodies are made from fatty acids in the liver. Their function is to produce energy during periods of ...

  5. Pancreatic lipase family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_lipase_family

    Pancreatic lipase, also known as pancreatic triacylglycerol lipase or steapsin, is an enzyme secreted from the pancreas.As the primary lipase enzyme that hydrolyzes (breaks down) dietary fat molecules in the human digestive system, it is one of the main digestive enzymes, converting triglyceride substrates like 1 found in ingested oils to monoglycerides 3 and free fatty acids 2a and 2b.

  6. Gastric lipase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_lipase

    Gastric lipase is an acidic lipase secreted by the gastric chief cells in the fundic mucosa in the stomach. It has a pH optimum of 3–6. [4] Gastric lipase, together with lingual lipase, comprise the two acidic lipases. These lipases, unlike alkaline lipases (such as pancreatic lipase), do not require bile acid or colipase for optimal ...

  7. Lipolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipolysis

    In the body, stores of fat are referred to as adipose tissue. In these areas, intracellular triglycerides are stored in cytoplasmic lipid droplets. When lipase enzymes are phosphorylated, they can access lipid droplets and through multiple steps of hydrolysis, breakdown triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. Each step of hydrolysis leads ...

  8. Gastric glands - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_glands

    Prorennin is secreted in young mammals (childhood stage). It is not secreted in adult mammals. Chief cells also produce small amounts of gastric lipase. Gastric lipase contributes little to digestion of fat. Parietal cells ("parietal" means "relating to a wall"), also known as oxyntic cells are most numerous on the side walls of the gastric glands.

  9. Chief cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_cell

    This type of cell also secretes gastric lipase enzymes, which help digest triglycerides into free fatty acids and di- and mono-glycerides. [3] There is also evidence that the gastric chief cell secretes leptin in response to the presence of food in the stomach. Leptin has been found in the pepsinogen granules of chief cells. [4]
