chemistry lipid Congenital and Developmental Anomalies of Permanent and Deciduous Posterior Teeth
Introduction
Congenital and developmental anomalies of teeth refer to variations in tooth number, size, form, and structure that occur during tooth development. These anomalies can affect both permanent and deciduous (primary) teeth. In this assignment, we will explore some common anomalies related to posterior teeth.
1. Congenital Anomalies of Teeth Number
Hypodontia
Hypodontia is characterized by the congenital absence of one or more permanent teeth.
It occurs when a permanent tooth fails to develop and emerge within the expected timeframe.
Patients with hypodontia may have missing incisors, premolars, or molars.
Early diagnosis and management are essential for proper treatment planning.
Hyperdontia
Hyperdontia refers to the presence of extra teeth beyond the normal dentition.
Supernumerary teeth can occur in various locations, including the posterior region.
These additional teeth may cause crowding, impaction, or other complications.
2. Congenital Anomalies of Teeth Size
Microdontia
Microdontia refers to abnormally small teeth.
It can affect single teeth or entire dentitions.
Microdontia may lead to functional and aesthetic challenges.
Macrodontia
Macrodontia involves abnormally large teeth.
It can result from genetic factors or localized disturbances during tooth development.
Macrodontia may cause occlusal problems and esthetic concerns.
3. Congenital Anomalies of Teeth Form and Structure
Localized Processes
Gemination
Gemination occurs when a single tooth bud partially splits into two teeth.
The fused tooth appears larger than normal and has a unique shape.
Commonly affects incisors and canines.
Fusion
Fusion results from the union of two adjacent tooth buds.
The fused teeth share a common pulp chamber and root canal.
May lead to altered occlusion and hygiene challenges.
Taurodontism
Taurodontism involves an enlarged pulp chamber and elongated roots.
The pulpal floor is displaced apically.
Seen in molars, especially in patients with certain genetic conditions.
Dens Invaginatus
Dens invaginatus (also called “dens in dente”) is a malformation where enamel invaginates into the pulp chamber.
Predisposes the tooth to caries and pulpal infections.
Dens Evaginatus
Dens evaginatus is an accessory cusp on the occlusal surface.
More common in premolars.
Requires careful restoration to prevent fracture.
Dilaceration
Dilaceration refers to a sharp bend or curve in the root of a tooth.
May result from trauma during tooth development.
Can complicate extraction or orthodontic treatment.
Enamel Pearl
Enamel pearls are small, spherical enamel projections on the root surface.
Often found near furcation areas.
May contribute to periodontal problems.
Turner’s Hypoplasia
Localized enamel hypoplasia due to trauma or infection during tooth development.
Results in pits or grooves on the enamel surface.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

or triglycerides
1. Neutral fats or triacylglycerol or triglycerides
- These are esters of fatty acids with alcohol glycerol,
e.g. tripalmitin.
- Because they are uncharged, they are termed as
neutral fat.
- The fat we eat are mostly triglycerides.
- A fat in liquid state is called an oil. e.g. vegetable oils;
like; groundnut oil, mustard oil, corn oil, etc.
7. 2. Waxes
Other waxes
These are esters of fatty acid
with alcohol.
Examples:
• Cholesterol forms
cholesterol ester
• Retinol (vitamin A) forms
vitamin A ester
• Cholecalciferol (vitamin D)
forms vitamin D ester.

phosphoric acid residue.
They also have nitrogen containing bases and other substituents.
Classified on the basis of the type of alcohol:
(A) Glycerophospholipids (B) Sphingophospholipids.
The alcohol present is glycerol. The alcohol present is sphingosine.
Ex: Cardiolipins. Ex: Sphingomyelins.
9. 2. Glycolipids Lipids

11. Functions of Lipids
A. Storage form of energy: The fats and oils in living organisms.
B. Structural Lipids: Cell membranes.
e.g. phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols.
C. Cholesterol, a sterol, is a precursor of many steroid hormones,
vitamin D and is also an important component of plasma membrane.
D. Thermal insulator in Skin and some organs
E. Nonpolar lipids act as electrical insulators in neurons.
F. Lipids are important dietary constituents because of the fat soluble
vitamins and essential fatty acids which are present in the fat of
natural foods.
G. Lipids help in absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E and K).
They act as a solvent for the transport of fat soluble vitamins.
12. 3. Fatty Acids
- Carboxylic acids with hydrocarbon chains (–CH2–CH2–CH2–)
and represented by a chemical formula R-COOH, where R stands for
hydrocarbon chain.
- The fatty acids are amphipathic in nature, i.e. each has hydrophilic
(COOH) and hydrophobic (hydrocarbon chain) groups in the structure.
13. (a) Straight Chain Fatty Acids - linear Chain of carbon
subclassified into two classes:
(1). Saturated fatty acids. -C-C-C-C-C-
There is no double bond in the hydrocarbon chain of these fatty acids.
Have two subclasses:
a. Even carbon acids 4, 6, 8 or 16 carbons..
e.g. palmitic
b. Odd carbon acids 3 or 5 carbons..
e.g. propionic acid.
(2). Unsaturated fatty acids. -C-C=C=C-C-C-
These contain double bonds in their hydrocarbon chains.
Have two subclasses :
a. Monoenoic or contain one double bond
monounsaturated fatty acid -C-C-C-C=C-C-C-
b. Polyenoic or contain more than one double bond
polyunsaturated fatty acid. -C-C=C=C-C-C-C=C=C-
14.
15. (b) Branched Chain Fatty Acids
These are less abundant than straight chain acids in animals and plants,
e.g. • Isovaleric acid • Isobutyric acid.
(c) Substituted Fatty Acids
In substituted fatty acids one or more hydrogen atoms have been
replaced by another group, e.g.
1. Lactic acid of blood
2. Cerebronic acid and oxynervonic acids of brain glycolipids
3. Ricinoleic acid of castor oil.
(d) Cyclic Fatty Acids
Fatty acids bearing cyclic groups are present in some bacteria and seed
lipids.
e.g. hydrocarpic acid (Chaulmoogric acid) of chaulmoogra seed.
16.
17. Functions of Fatty Acids
1. They serve as building blocks of phospholipids and glycolipids.
These amphipathic molecules are important components of
biological membranes.
2. Fatty acid derivatives serve as hormones, e.g. prostaglandins.
3. Fatty acids serve as a major fuel for most cells.
Numbering of Fatty Acid Carbon Atoms
Fatty acid carbon atoms are numbered starting at the carboxyl terminus.
Carbon atoms 2 and 3 are often referred to as α and β respectively.
The methyl carbon atom at the distal end of the chain is called;
omega (ω) carbon.
18. Representation of Double Bonds of Fatty Acids
Systems for designing double bond?
(1) C-system (2) ω- or n-system
- C1 being the carboxyl carbon. - ‘ω’ or ‘n’ refers to the carbon of their
terminal methyl group in a fatty acid.
- double bond is represented by the - ω-9 represents the double bond position
symbol Δ delta.
- Oleic acid C: 18:1: Δ9 - Oleic acid (C:18:1:ω-9)
19. 4. ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Fatty acids, that are required for optimal health and cannot be
synthesized by the body and should be supplied in the diet are
called essential fatty acids.
They are polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely;
((linoleic acid and linolenic acid))
Arachidonic acid can be synthesized from linoleic acid.
Therefore, in deficiency of linoleic acid, arachidonic acid also
becomes essential fatty acids.
Humans lack the enzymes to introduce double bonds at carbon
atoms beyond C9 in the fatty acid chain.
Hence, humans cannot synthesize linoleic acid and linolenic
acid having double bonds beyond C9. And thus, linoleic and
linolenic are the essential fatty acids.
20. Function of Essential Fatty Acids
(A) Synthesis of Eicosanoids
Linoleic acid and linolenic acid supplied by the diet are the
precursors for the synthesis of a variety of other unsaturated fatty
acids.
Arachidonic acid, a fatty acid derived from linoleic acid is an
essential precursor of eicosanoids, which include:
• Prostaglandins • Thromboxanes
• Prostacyclin • Leukotrienes.

21. (B) Maintenance of Structural
- Integrity EFAs are required for membrane structure and function.
- These fatty acids are important constituents of phospholipids in cell
membrane and help to maintain the structural integrity of the
membrane.
(C) Development of Retina and Brain
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA: ω-3), which is synthesized from
linolenic acid is particularly needed for development of the brain and
retina during the neonatal period.
(D) Antiatherogenic Effect
Essential fatty acids increase esterification and excretion of cholesterol,
thereby lowering the serum cholesterol level.
Thus, essential fatty acids help to
prevent the atherosclerosis.
22. Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
• Deficiency of EFAs is characterized by scaly skin, eczema
(in children), loss of hair and poor wound healing.
• Impaired lipid transport and fatty liver may occur due to
deficiency of EFAs.
• EFAs deficiency decreases efficiency of biological
oxidation.
23. 5. Reactions of Lipids
Saponification
Hydrolysis of a fat by alkali is called saponification. The products are
glycerol and the alkali salts of the fatty acids, which are called soaps
(Figure 3.4). Acid hydrolysis of a fat yields the free fatty acids and
glycerol.
24. Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation of unsaturated fats in the presence of a catalyst
(nickel) is known as “hardening”.
It is commercially valuable as a method of converting these liquid
fats, usually of plant origin into solid fats as margarines, vegetable ghee,
etc.
Peroxidation
Peroxidation (auto-oxidation) of lipids exposed to oxygen is
responsible not only for deterioration of foods (rancidity) but also for
damage to tissues in vivo, where it may be a cause of cancer.
Lipid peroxidation is a chain reaction generating free radicals that
initiate further peroxidation.
To control and reduce peroxidation, humans make use of
antioxidants. Naturally occurring antioxidants include vitamin E
(tocopherol) and β-carotene (provitamin A), which are lipid soluble and
vitamin C, which is water soluble.
25. Rancidity
The unpleasant odor and taste, developed by natural fats upon
aging, is referred to as “rancidity”.
Rancidity may be due to hydrolysis or oxidation of fat.
• Rancidity due to hydrolysis:
Naturally occurring fats, particularly those from animal sources, are
contaminated with enzyme lipase. The action of lipase brings about
partial hydrolysis of glycerides of fat.
• Rancidity may also be caused by various oxidative processes:
For example, oxidation at the double bonds of unsaturated fatty
acids of glycerides may form peroxides, which then decompose to form
aldehydes of unpleasant odor and taste, this process is increased by
exposure to light or heat.
` Many natural vegetable fats and oils may contain antioxidants like
vitamin E which prevent onset of rancidity. Therefore, vegetable fats
can be preserved for a longer time than animal fats.
26.
27.
28.
29. 7. Triacylglycerols or Triacylglycerides or Neutral Fat
- These are esters of fatty acids with glycerol.
- Triacylglycerol consists of three fatty acids, which are esterified
through their carboxyl groups, resulting in a loss of negative charge
and formation of neutral fat.
- • Simple triacylglycerols contains the same kind of fatty acid in all
three positions.
- •Mixed triacylglycerols contain two or more different fatty acids.
a. The fatty acid on carbon 1 is
usually saturated.
b. That on carbon 2 is usually
unsaturated
c. that on carbon 3 can be
either of the two.
30. • As the polar hydroxyl groups of glycerol and polar carboxyl groups of
the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triacylglycerols are nonpolar,
hydrophobic and neutral (in charges) molecules, essentially insoluble in
water.
• The presence of the unsaturated fatty acid(s) in triacylglycerol
decreases the melting temperature of the lipid and remains in liquid
form (oil).
• Vegetable oils such as corn and olive oil are composed largely of
triacylglycerols with unsaturated fatty acids and thus are liquids at
room temperature.
• Triacylglycerols containing only saturated fatty acids, such as beef fat,
are white greasy solids at room temperature.

energy.

32. Classification of Phospholipids
1. Glycerophospholipids or that contain glycerol as the alcohol.
phosphoglycerides,
2. Sphingophospholipids that contain sphingosine as the alcohol.
33. Glycerophospholipids or Phosphoglycerides
• Phospholipids derived from glycerol are called;
phosphoglycerides or glycerophospholipids
• In glycerophospholipids, the hydroxyl groups at C1 and C2 of glycerol are
esterified with two fatty acids. The C3 hydroxyl group of the glycerol is
esterified to phosphoric acid and resulting compound called, phosphatidic
acid.
• Phosphatidic acid is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of other
glycerophospholipids.
• In glycerophospholipids, phosphate group of phosphatidic acid becomes
esterified with the hydroxyl group of one of the several nitrogen base or other
groups. Different types of glycerophospholipids are discussed below.
34. Phosphatidylcholine (lecithin)
• These are glycerophospholipids containing choline. These are
most abundant phospholipids of the cell membrane having both
structural and metabolic functions.
• Dipalmitoyl lecithin is an important phosphatidylcholine found in
lungs, secreted by pulmonary type II epithelial cell. It acts as a lung
surfactant and is necessary for normal lung function. It reduces
surface tension in the alveoli, thereby prevents alveolar collapse
(adherence of the inner surfaces of the lungs).
35.
36. Phosphatidylethanolanine (Cephalin)
• They differ from lecithin in having nitrogenous base ethanolamine in
place of choline.
• Thromboplastin (coagulation factor III), which is needed to initiate the
clotting process, is composed mainly of cephalins.
Phosphatidylserine
It contains the amino acid serine rather than ethanolamine and is found
in most tissues.
Phosphatidylinositol
• In phosphatidylinositol, inositol is present as the stereoisomer
myoinositol.
• Phosphatidylinositol is a second messenger for the action of
hormones like oxytocin and vasopressin.
Plasmalogens
• Are generally similar to other phospholipids but the fatty acid at C1 of
glycerol is linked through an ether, rather than an ester bond.
37.
38. Lysophospholipids
Lysophospholipids are produced when one of the two fatty
acid is removed from glycerophospholipid. The most common of
these are lysophosphatidylcholine (lysolecithin) and
lysophosphatidylethanolamine.
Cardiolipin (Diphosphatidylglycerol)
• Cardiolipin is composed of two molecules of phosphatidic acid
connected by a molecule of glycerol.
• Two molecules of phosphatidic acid esterified through their
phosphate groups with a molecule of glycerol are called
Cardiolipin.
• Cardiolipin is a major lipid of mitochondrial membrane and is
necessary for optimum function of the electron transport process.
• This is only human glycerophospholipid that possess antigenic
properties.
39. Sphingophospholipids
Phospholipids derived from alcohol sphingosine instead of glycerol
are called Sphingophospholipids, e.g. sphingomyelin.
Sphingomyelin
• Sphingomyelin is the only phospholipid in membranes that is not
derived from glycerol. Instead, the alcohol in sphingomyelin is
sphingosine, an amino alcohol.
• In sphingomyelin, the amino group of the sphingosine is linked to a
fatty acid to yield ceramide (sphingosinefatty acid complex).
• In addition, the primary hydroxy group of sphingosine is esterified
with phosphorylcholine .
• Sphingomyelin is one of the
principal structural lipids of
membranes of nerve tissue.

43. Glycolipids
• Glycolipids as their name implies, are sugar containing lipids.
Glycolipids consist of alcohol sphingosine.
• The amino group of sphingosine is esterified by a fatty acid and one
or more sugar units are attached to the hydroxyl group of
sphingosine.
• Glycolipids are widely distributed in every tissue of the body,
particularly in nervous tissue such as brain.
Classification of Glycolipids
Four classes of glycolipids have been distinguished:
1. Cerebrosides (Ceramide + Monosaccharides)
2. 2. Sulfatides
3. 3. Globosides
4. 4. Gangliosides.
49. 9. Cholesterol (animal sterol)
• Cholesterol is the major sterol in animal tissues. Sterols are a class of
steroids containing hydroxyl group.
• It consists of steroid nucleus namely phenanthrene containing
19-carbon atoms.
• It consists of methyl side chains at position C10 and C13 which are
shown as single bonds.
• Cholesterol, a 27-carbon compound, has an 8-carbon side chain
attached to the D ring at C17 and a hydroxyl group attached to C3 of the
A ring, with one double bond between carbon atoms 5 and 6.

52. 10. Lipoproteins
- large water soluble complexes
- formed by a combination of lipid and protein
- transport insoluble lipids through the blood between
different organs and tissues.
• Lipoproteins consist of a lipid core containing nonpolar
triacylglycerol and cholesterol ester surrounded by a single layer
of amphipathic phospholipids and free cholesterol molecules with
some proteins, (apoprotein).
• The protein components are referred to as an apoprotein or
apolipoprotein. There are four major types of apolipoproteins
designated by letters A, B, C and E with subgroups given in Roman
numerals I, II, III, etc.
53.
54. Classes of Lipoproteins
According to their physical and chemical properties:
1. Chylomicrons 2. Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL)
3. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) 4. High density lipoprotein (HDL).
55.
56. 11. Eicosanoids
• Prostaglandins and the related compounds thromboxanes and
leukotriens, are collectively known as eicosanoids.
Eicosanoids are synthesized from arachidonic acid. A polyunsaturated
fatty acid containing 20-carbon atoms from which they take their
general name (Greek: eikosi means twenty).
Prostaglandins
Thromboxanes collectively known as eicosanoids.
leukotriens,
57. Prostaglandins
• Prostaglandins are a group of 20-carbon compounds derived from
arachidonic acid.
• They derive their name from the tissue in which they were first
recognized (the prostate gland) but they are now known to be present
in almost all tissues.
• Chemically, the prostaglandins are derivatives of the hypothetical
parent compound prostanoic acid, having cyclopentane (5 carbon) ring
and two aliphatic side chains R1 and R2.
• Prostanoic acid does not occur naturally but is regarded as the parent
compound of the prostaglandins and thromboxanes for the purpose of
classification and carbon numbering.
• In addition to cyclopentane ring, each of the biologically active
prostaglandin has a hydroxyl group at carbon 15, a double bond
between carbons 13 and 14, and various substituents on the ring.

60. Functions of prostaglandins
• Prostaglandins and other eicosanoids have hormone like actions.
• Prostaglandins in many tissues act by regulating the synthesis of cyclic
AMP (cAMP).
As cAMP mediates the action of many hormones, the prostaglandins
affect a wide range of cellular and tissue functions:
1. Smooth muscle contraction and relaxation
2. Inflammatory response
3. Platelet aggregation
4. Regulation of Blood pressure
5. Body temperature
6. Gastric secretion
7. PGs are involved in Na+ and water retention by kidney tubules.
61. Functions of thromboxanes
• TXA2 is produced by platelets, promotes platelets aggregation.
Platelet aggregation initiates thrombus formation at sites of vascular
injury.
• TXA2 causes contractions of the smooth muscles of the arterial wall
and therefore, raises blood pressure.
63. Liposomes
• When a lipid bilayer closes on itself a spherical vesicle called as
‘liposome’ is formed .
Functions
1. Liposomes are used as a carrier of certain drugs to specific site of body
where they act. They can deliver drugs directly into cell because they
easily fuses with cell membranes.
2. They are used in cancer therapy to deliver drugs only to cancer cells.
3. In gene therapy also they are used as vehicles
Lipoprotein X(LpX)
1. It is a variant of LDL. It contains apo C as well as albumin.
2. It is a bilammallar vesicle with an aqueous lumen. It contains equal
amounts of phospholipids and cholesterol. Triglycerides and cholesterol
esters are present in only small amounts (2 to 3%).
1. It appears in the plasma of cholestatic patients. It may be formed in bile
and enters plasma due to regurgitation that occurs in cholestatic
individuals.
2. It interacts with other lipoproteins present in plasma
64. LIPID LAYERS, MICELLES AND LIPOSOMES
Lipids like triglycerides are insoluble in water because they contain non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbon
chain. Similarly, cholesterolester is also insoluble in water because of hydrophobic steroid nucleus.
Amphipathic Molecules
Lipids like cholesterol, phospholipids and bile salts contain both water soluble polar head group and water
insoluble non-polar tail. Since they have two very different kinds of groups these molecules are called as
‘amphipathic molecules’.
Lipid monolayer
When amphipathic molecules like phospholipids are present in water, their polar head groups orient towards
water phase and hydrophobic tails towards air.
As a result, a unimolecular lipid layer is formed at water air interphase
Function
Formation of mixed micelles is very important for digestion and absorption of lipids. Mixed micelles are also
formed during cleansing action of soaps and detergents
66. Detergents
- Detergents are amphipathic molecules and are
not natural membrane constituents.
In aqueous solutions, they form micelles, with
the hydrophilic regions on the outside, interacting
with the water, and the hydrophobic regions inside.
• The bile acids and bile salts are powerful naturally
occurring detergents which emulsify fats in the
digestive tract; they can also be used to solubilize
membrane proteins.
• Lysophospholipids also have detergent like action.
