Determination of regioisomers in triacylglycerols

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 2020
The glycerol backbone of triacylglycerols (TAGs) can have different acyl side chains occupying two or more of the three available positions, which gives rise to regioisomerism. There is a major interest in the quantitative determination of the regioisomers of dietary TAGs, because these may have different bioavailability.1 This analysis can be ...

Triacylglycerol in biomembranes

Life Sciences, 1994
A better knowledge of the biochemical and biophysical properties of cell membranes has revealed fundamental concepts concerning the regulation of cell functions by intrinsic components of the lipid matrix. Membrane lipids exhibit high chemical heterogeneity, with hundreds of distinct chemical species; studies of structure-function relationships have ...

Triacylglycerol Metabolism

Current Drug Targets, 2009
Apart from being the main energy reserves of the human body, triacylglycerols take part in metabolic processes that determine the rate of fatty acid oxidation, the plasma levels of free fatty acids, the biosynthesis of other lipid molecules and the metabolic fate of lipoproteins.

Enzymes of triacylglycerol synthesis and their regulation.

Progress in Lipid Research, 2004
Since the pathways of glycerolipid biosynthesis were elucidated in the 1950's, considerable knowledge has been gained about the enzymes that catalyze the lipid biosynthetic reactions and the factors that regulate triacylglycerol biosynthesis. In the last few decades, in part due to advances in technology and the wide availability of nucleotide and ...

Liver triacylglycerol lipases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2012
The hallmark of obesity and one of the key contributing factors to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is excess triacylglycerol (TG) storage. In hepatocytes, excessive accumulation of TG is the common denominator of a wide range of clinicopathological entities known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which can eventually ...

Triacylglycerol biosynthesis in yeast

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2003
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage component for fatty acids, and thus for energy, in eukaryotic cells. In this mini-review, we describe recent progress that has been made with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in understanding formation of TAG and its cell biological role.

Triacylglycerols in prokaryotic microorganisms

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2002
Triacylglycerols (TAG) are fatty acid triesters of glycerol; there are diverse types of TAG with different properties depending on their fatty acid composition. The occurrence of TAG as reserve compounds is widespread among eukaryotic organisms such as yeast, fungi, plants and animals, whereas occurrence of TAG in bacteria has only rarely been ...

Triacylglycerol biosynthesis

1987
Abstract Plant triacylglycerols, commonly known as vegetable oils and fats, have many applications in the food and chemical industry and are a most important commodity in world trade. In the triacylglycerol molecule, one fatty acid residue is esterified to each of the three hydroxy groups of the glycerol backbone. The quality of the oil,
