An alkyl-chain fatty acid with one or more double (ethylenic) bonds between carbons (called unsaturated as the chain is capable of absorbing more hydrogen). Unsaturated fats (UFs) have lower melting points, and most are liquid at room temperature. UFs can be monounsaturated (i.e., have one...
In subject area: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology A type of unsaturated fat that occurs in small amounts in nature are trans-unsaturated fatty acids, with one or more of their double bonds in the “trans” rather than the common “cis” configuration. ...
(Darwish et al., 2013). The unsaturated fatty acid can be produced on a multi-gram scale in an eight-step convergent synthesis from deuterated azelaic acid-d14and deuterated nonanoic acid-d17. These unsaturated fatty acids are often desirable molecules in their own right, and are used as ...
On the other hand, in the intestinal lumen, enhanced postprandial lysophospholipid absorption can suppress hepatic fatty acid oxidation, lead to increased VLDL synthesis and tissue lipid deposition, and improve diet-induced hyperlipidemia50. The negative correlation of cholesterol with atrial dilatation and...
In some higher plants, very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) is obtained by carbon chain lengthening reactions using OA as a substrate, which further lengthens the carbon chain in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cycle is divided into four steps: in the first step, fatty acyl-CoA and malon...

11.1. Definition of HSOS HSOS, caused by 1,2-unsaturated PAs, PA-HSOS in short, has to be differentiated from other HSOS disease entities, such as due to haematopoetic stem cell transplantation, HSCT-HSOS in short [6,200]. Different diagnostic criteria are available for each entity, the Na...
The essential fatty acids include linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acids) and α-linoleic acid (omega-3 fatty acid). They are not produced by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins; that is, they need fat to be ...
