At cholesterol level of 0.8-18.9 mmol/liter the double bond/cholesterol ratio approached 4.0 and double bond/glycerol ratio was 1.3-1.5. The maximum content of double bonds was detected in LDL. It was hypothesized that the greater part of plasma cholesterol is esterified with arachidonic acid ...

This also underlines the fact that it is not only the number of double bonds but the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids which determines the melting behaviour (Gläser et al., 2004). Furthermore, fatty acids with double bonds in trans configuration have melting temperatures above those of ...
A shift in position of the double bonds (and hence of the methylene groups) should be associated with a slower rate of reaction and formation of two chiral products; two methylenes are now able to react, although neither has perfect alignment. We tested this idea using two lipoxygenases and...
