Detailed explanation-1: -Within the body, lipids function as an energy reserve, regulate hormones, transmit nerve impulses, cushion vital organs, and transport fat-soluble nutrients. Fat in food serves as an energy source with high caloric density, adds texture and taste, and contributes to satiety.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids in the diet transport the four fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) and assist in their absorption in the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, as lipids may be broken down to yield large amounts of energy. Lipids also form the structural components of cell membranes, and form various messengers and signaling molecules within the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fat soluble vitamins are stored in adipose tissues. These vitamins are not absorbed directly into the blood stream but are absorbed into the lacteals in the small intestine via chylomicrons, transported through the lymphatic system and then released into the blood stream (Kalepu et al., 2013).
