lipids
Across
- 3. Genetic disorder causing xanthomas due to defective LDL receptor clearance
- 5. Signaling lipids derived from omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
- 7. Process by which fatty acids are sequentially cleaved into acetyl-CoA
- 8. Ketone body produced in excess during uncontrolled diabetes, leading to acidosis
- 9. Lipoprotein secreted by the intestine to transport dietary lipids
- 10. Major phospholipid component of mitochondrial membranes
- 12. Enzyme that esterifies cholesterol within HDL particles
- 14. Sphingolipid storage disease caused by deficiency of hexosaminidase A
Down
- 1. Glycerophospholipid critical for surfactant function in the lungs
- 2. Carrier molecule required for mitochondrial import of long-chain fatty acids
- 4. Bile acid synthesized from cholesterol, conjugated with glycine or taurine
- 6. Enzyme that converts acetyl-CoA into malonyl-CoA during fatty acid synthesis
- 11. Enzyme deficient in Niemann-Pick disease, leading to sphingomyelin accumulation
- 13. Enzyme that hydrolyzes stored triglycerides in adipocytes, activated by phosphorylation
