The lipid shown here is Palmitic Acid in a ball-and-stick configuration. PalmiticAcidis a saturated fatty acid. Palmitic Acid - CH3(CH2)14COOH- (C:D = 16:0) The structure of saturated and unsaturated chemical bonds looks like the diagram below. Saturated fatty acids are of the form R-C...
Fatty acid oxidation (FAO)-driven H2O2 has been shown to be a major source of oxidative stress in several tissues and disease states. Here, we established that the mitochondrial flavoprotein long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD), which catalyzes a key step in mitochondrial FAO, directly produ...
The enzymes and regulation of the membrane synthesis and fatty acid degradation are also of great interest, as they represent the main competing pathways with a FFA overproduction. An overview of the involved pathways is shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Biosynthesis and degradation of fatty acids and...

Fat is not bad on its own. However, fat in combination with sugar reduces fatty acid oxidation. So for the desserts or the potato chips or the hot dogs, is it any one of the nutrients or is it the combination? More evidence is necessary to fully clarify, but so far it seems that ...
Containing the fatty acid amide building a bridge body which is shown with the below-mentioned formula 1, as a treatment mannered null lubricantPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a synthetic fiber treating agent for production of carbon fiber, capable of simultaneously preventing fusion between frame...
Most common plant oils have little α-linolenic acid (C18:3Δ9,12,15, ALA) and an unhealthy ω6/ω3 ratio. Here, fatty acids (FAs) in the seeds of 11 species of Paeonia L., including 10 tree peony and one herbaceous species, were explored using gas chrom
Previous studies have revealed obesity, nutrition, lifestyle, genetic and epigenetic factors may be risk factors for the occurrence and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the effect of total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) consumption on the risk of NAFLD is uncert...
Since fatty acid synthesis is a major consumer of NADPH, its downregulation is likely to represent an adaptation to defective oxPPP activation. It is less obvious how increased β-oxidation may contribute to adaptation. Increased supply of acetyl-CoA for the Krebs cycle may enhance NADPH ...
Arachidonic acid (C20:4) is related to a wide range of biological effects including lipid homeostasis. The fatty acid desaturase-2 (FADS2) gene encodes for the delta-6-desaturase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of C20:4 from linoleic acid (C18:2).
