LIPIDS
Lipids are an organic compound found in living organisms that is insoluble in
water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents.
FATTY ACID
Is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which all carbon to carbon is single
bond.
Is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which one carbon to carbon double
bond is present.
Is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which two or more carbon to carbon
double bonds are present.
LIPIDS FUNCTION
ENERGY-STORAGE LIPIDS:
TRIACYLGLYCEROLS
Fatty acids are the carboxylic acids involved in triacylglycerol formation. In the
esterification reaction producing a triacylglycerol, a single molecule of glycerol reacts
with the fatty acid molecules.
The triacylglycerol produced form glycerol and three molecules of stearic acid is an
example of simple triacylglycerol.
SIMPLE TRIACYLGLYROL
It is a trimester formed from the esterification of glycerol with three identical fatty acid
molecules.
MIXED TRIACYLGLYCEROL
It is a trimester from the esterification of glycerol with more than one kind of fatty acid
molecule.
Fats are naturally occurring complex of triacylglycerol molecules in which many different
kinds of triacylglycerol molecules are present.
Oils are also naturally occurring complex mixtures of triacylglycerol molecule in which
there are many different kinds of triacylglycerol molecules are present.
In the past two decades, considerable research has been carried out concerning the
role of dietary factor as a cause of disease such as obesity, diabetes, cancer,
hypertension, and atherosclerosis.
GOOD FATS VS. BAD FATS
And polyunsaturated fats can be both good fats and bad fats
Because monounsaturated fat can decrease both heart disease and breast cancer
risks.
Omega-3
Omega-6
Fatty acids are used for reducing the risk of heart disease, lowering total cholesterol
levels, lowering "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels, raising "good" (HDL) cholesterol
levels, and reducing cancer risk
Essential fatty acids are a fatty acid needed in the human body that must be obtained
from dietary sources because it cannot be synthesized within the body, in adequate
amounts, from other substances.
Hydrolysis
Saponification
Hydrogenation
MEMBRANE LIPIDS:PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Phospholipids is a lipid that contains one or more fatty acids, a phosphate group, a
platform molecule to which the fatty acids and the phosphate group are attached, and
an alcohol that is attached to the phosphate group.
GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS
Is a lipid that contains two fatty acids and phosphate group esterified to a glycerol
molecule and an alcohol esterified to the phosphate group.
MEMBRANE LIPIDS
Sphingoglycolipid
MEMBRANE LIPIDS:CHOLESTEROL
Is a c27 steroid molecule that is a component of cell membranes and precursor for other
steroid-based lipids.

ADRENOCORTICOID HORMONE
The second major group of steroid hormones consists of the adrenocorticoid hormones.
Produced by the adrenal glands.
