Across
  1. 2. = Protein that anchors pancreatic lipase to lipid droplets in the presence of bile salts
  2. 5. = Enzyme that digests phospholipids in the small intestine
  3. 6. = Transporter responsible for cholesterol uptake into enterocytes
  4. 7. = Protein that transports free fatty acids directly in the blood (especially short- and medium-chain)
  5. 9. = Process by which excess cholesterol is returned to the liver for excretion
  6. 11. = Lipoprotein involved in reverse cholesterol transport
  7. 14. = Enzyme that hydrolyzes cholesterol esters into free cholesterol
  8. 15. = Enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides in chylomicrons for uptake into adipose and muscle tissue
  9. 18. = Intestinal absorptive cell where lipids are reassembled after diffusion
  10. 19. = Type of fatty acid that requires micelles and chylomicron packaging for transport
  11. 22. = Process by which monoglycerides and fatty acids are reassembled into triglycerides inside the cell
  12. 23. = Tissue where excess triglycerides are stored after a meal
  13. 24. = Detergent-like molecules synthesized from cholesterol that emulsify dietary fats
Down
  1. 1. = Type of fatty acid that bypasses chylomicron formation and enters portal circulation
  2. 3. = Lipoprotein that transports dietary lipids from the intestine into the lymphatic system
  3. 4. = Protein component of lipoproteins that provides structural stability and receptor recognition
  4. 8. = Lipoprotein responsible for transporting endogenous triglycerides from the liver
  5. 10. = Primary mechanism by which lipid components enter enterocytes
  6. 12. = Lipoprotein that delivers cholesterol to peripheral tissues
  7. 13. = Hormone that promotes lipid storage by stimulating lipogenesis and inhibiting lipolysis
  8. 16. = Pathway through which chylomicrons enter circulation before reaching the bloodstream
  9. 17. = Amphipathic structure that carries lipid digestion products across the unstirred water layer to the enterocyte
  10. 20. = Blood vessel that carries absorbed nutrients directly to the liver
  11. 21. = Enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids
