Carbohydrates of Physiologic Significance CARBOHYDRATES ARE ALDEHYDE OR KETONE DERIVATIVES OF POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOLS (1) Monosaccharides are those carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrates: They may be classified as trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, or heptoses, depending upon the number of carbon atoms; and as aldoses or ketoses depending upon whether they have an aldehyde or ketone group. Examples are listed in Table 131. (2) Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units. Examples are maltose and sucrose. (3) Oligosaccharides are condensation products of two to ten monosaccharides; maltotriose* is an example. (4) Polysaccharides are condensation products of more than ten monosaccharide units; examples are the starches and dextrins, which may be linear or branched polymers. Polysaccharides are sometimes classified as hexosans or pentosans, depending upon the identity of the constituent monosaccharides

Glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) are complex carbohydrates characterized by their content of amino sugars and uronic acids. When these chains are attached to a protein molecule, the result is a proteoglycan. Proteoglycans provide the ground or packing substance of connective tissues.

Lipids of Physiologic Significance (1) relatively insoluble in water and (2) soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether and chloroform.

Slide 36

LIPIDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS SIMPLE OR COMPLEX

Slide 37

Fatty Acids Are Named After Corresponding Hydrocarbons Saturated Fatty Acids Contain No Double Bonds Unsaturated Fatty Acids Contain One or More Double Bonds Fatty acids may be further subdivided as follows: (1) Monounsaturated (monoethenoid, monoenoic) acids, containing one double bond. (2) Polyunsaturated (polyethenoid, polyenoic) acids, containing two or more double bonds. ). (3) Eicosanoids: These compounds, derived from eicosa- (20-carbon) polyenoic fatty acids, comprise the prostanoids, leukotrienes (LTs), and lipoxins (LXs). Prostanoids include prostaglandins (PGs), prostacyclins (PGIs), and thromboxanes (TXs ).

Structures of common sphingolipids: Gangliosides are just cerebrosides with NANA (sialic acid) attached!

Slide 68

Gangliosides Gangliosides are the most complex sphingolipids. These are carbohydrate-rich sphingolipids that contain at least one acidic sugar. Ganliosides are synthesized by the ordered, step-wise addition of sugar residues to ceramide. Synthesis of these complex lipids requires activated sugars (e.g. UDP-glucose, UDP-galactose, UDP-N-acetylneuraminate) This is just one example, more than 60 different gangliosides have been characterized. glucose (Glc), galactose (Gal), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), N-Acetylneuraminate (NAN)

The prostaglandins produced by COX-1 participate in house-keeping functions such as secretion of gastric mucin; those produced by COX-2 play roles in inflamation. Aspirin, ibuprofin and acetaminophen (nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory drugs, NSAIDS) block prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase.
