Fats that have single bonds along their fatty acid chains are called saturated fatty acids. Animal fats are saturated, while plant and fish fats are unsaturated. Processed and deep fried foods are also rich in saturated fats.
In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology Saturated fatty acids are fatty acids without double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain, while n−6 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids characterised by having the last double bond between carbon numbers 6 and 7 in ...
The Saturated fat definition states that these fats are made up of chains of carbon molecules that do not contain any double bonds between the carbon molecules. Since there are no double bonds between any of the carbon molecules, each carbon contains the highest amount of hydrogen atoms possible...

the difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain. q4 what is...

Increasing evidence connects periodontitis with a variety of systemic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The proposal of this study was to evaluate the role of diets rich in saturated fat and cholesterol in some aspects of periodontal...
