Supplemented fatty acids can incorporate into cardiolipin (CL) and affect its remodeling. The change in CL species may alter the mitochondrial membrane composition, potentially disturbing the mitochondrial structure and function during inflammation. To i
saturated fat,any solid fat that is anesterofglyceroland a saturatedfatty acid. The molecules of a saturated fat have only single bonds between carbon atoms; if double bonds are present in the fatty acid portion of the molecule, the fat is said to be unsaturated. Unsaturated fats generally ...
Unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats in that they have one or more double bonds in their chemical composition. At room temperature, unsaturated fats are usually liquid (such as canola and olive oil). They are categorized based on their structures into two types: Monounsaturated fats:Only o...
calculated on the unsaturated fatty acids having two or more double bonds, the reaction being interrupted when the fatty acids or esters having two or more double bonds have been transformed substantially completely into mono-adducts, whereupon the unchanged fatty acids or esters are separated from ...
1.Of or relating to an organic compound, especially a fatty acid, containing one or more double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. 2.Capable of dissolving more of a solute at a given temperature. un′sat·u·ra′tionn. American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth...
Background and aim: Trans fatty acids (TFAs), unsaturated fatty acids with at least one double bond in the trans configuration, are naturally present in animal fats or formed during the processing of fats or oils. TFAs consumptions are a... B Nazari,sedigheh,N Sarafzadegan,... - 《Jour...
Recognition that catalytic hydrogenation changes the configuration and position of double bonds and alters the physical properties of unsaturated fats prompted numerous early investigations on the bio-chemical effects of ldtrans isomers." Recent research has provided data on positional isomer metabolism. Som...
Unsaturated fat, a fatty acid in which the hydrocarbon molecules have two carbons that share double or triple bond(s) and are therefore not completely saturated with hydrogen atoms. Due to the decreased saturation with hydrogen bonds, the structures are
and commodityoils and fats. As noted for MUFAs, desaturases and chain-elongation enzymes are responsible for the production of PUFAs derived from plants, in which the double bonds are typically at the Δ9-, Δ12-, and Δ15-positions to give the correspondingn-3 andn-6 fatty acids (Scrim...
FATS AND OILS A.H. Lichtenstein, in Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition (Second Edition), 2005 Fatty Acids Fatty acids are hydrocarbon chains with a methyl and carboxyl end. The majority of dietary fatty acids have an even number of carbons. The range in chain length of common dietary fatty...
