7. Fatty Acid Nomenclature
• Carbon numbering starts from COOH carbon = C1
• Adjacent carbon = α (C2), next = β (C3)
• Example:
• Oleic acid: 18:1 Δ9
• 18 carbons
• One double bond
• Between C9 & C10
8. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA)
Definition
PUFA that cannot be synthesized in humans because enzymes cannot introduce double bonds beyond carbon 9.
Types
• Linoleic acid (ω6)
• Linolenic acid (ω3)
• Arachidonic acid
Importance
• Essential for growth
• Prostaglandin synthesis
• Cholesterol metabolism
• Cell membrane integrity
Sources
• Vegetable oils (corn, sunflower, soybean)
• Fish oils (ω-3 PUFA)
9. Desaturation of Fatty Acids
• Occurs in smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• Enzymes:
• Δ9, Δ6, Δ5 desaturases
• Humans lack Δ12 & Δ15 desaturases
• Plants can synthesize PUFA
5. Simple Lipids (Triglycerides)
• Structure: Glycerol + 3 fatty acids
• Types:
• Simple TAG (same FA)
• Mixed TAG (different FA)
• Solid at room temp → fats
• Liquid at room temp → oils
Importance of Glycerol
• Used in pharmaceuticals & cosmetics
• Nitroglycerin → vasodilator in coronary artery disease
6. Fatty Acids (FA)
General Characteristics
• Long hydrocarbon chain + terminal –COOH
• Monocarboxylic
• Usually esterified
• Free FA transported bound to albumin
Classification of FA
A. According to Saturation
Saturated FA
• No double bonds
• Formula: CH₃–(CH₂)n–COOH
• Examples:
• Palmitic acid (16:0)
• Stearic acid (18:0)
Unsaturated FA
• One or more double bonds
• Monounsaturated:
• Oleic acid (18:1 Δ9, ω9)
• Palmitoleic acid (16:1 Δ9)
• Polyunsaturated (PUFA):
• Linoleic (18:2 Δ9,12 ω6)
• Linolenic (18:3 Δ9,12,15 ω3)
• Arachidonic (20:4 Δ5,8,11,14 ω6)
B. According to Chain Length
• Short chain: 2–4 C
• Medium chain: 6–10 C
• Long chain: 12–26 C
3. Functions of Lipids
• Dietary energy source
• Energy storage as triacylglycerol (TAG)
• Supply essential fatty acids
• Structural components of:
• Plasma membrane
• Intracellular membranes
• Absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K
• Lipid transport via HDL, LDL, VLDL, Chylomicrons
• Synthesis of:
• Steroid hormones
• Prostaglandins
4. Classification of Lipids
A. Simple Lipids
Esters of fatty acids with alcohols:
• Fats: FA + glycerol
• Waxes: FA + alcohol other than glycerol
B. Compound Lipids
Simple lipids + non-lipid group:
• Phospholipids
• Glycolipids
• Lipoproteins
C. Derived Lipids
Formed by hydrolysis:
• Steroids (cholesterol, hormones)
• Ketone bodies
• Bile acids
Lipid Chemistry
1. Definition of Lipids
Lipids are a heterogeneous group of biologically important organic compounds that are:
• Insoluble in water
• Soluble in non-polar organic solvents (ether, chloroform, benzene, acetone, hot alcohol)
2. Clinical Applications & Importance
• Excess fat → Obesity → ↑ risk of myocardial infarction
• Abnormal cholesterol & lipoprotein metabolism → Atherosclerosis & cardiovascular diseases
• In Diabetes Mellitus:
• Disturbed fatty acid metabolism
• ↑ Ketone bodies → Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
• Lipids are stored in adipose tissue
• Lipoproteins transport lipids in blood
• Lipid biochemistry is essential for understanding:
• Obesity
• Diabetes Mellitus
• Atherosclerosis
• Nutrition & PUFA
