Fatty acids are long-chain hydrocarbons. They are called unsaturated fatty acids when they lack the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom. For example, if stearic acid, which has 18 carbon atoms and frequently occurs in animal and plant fats, is missing 2 hydrogen atoms, then a double bond is present and the resulting ...

Metabolomics of dietary fatty acid restriction in patients with phenylketonuria [PDF]
Patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) have to follow a lifelong phenylalanine restricted diet. This type of diet markedly reduces the intake of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids especially long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA).

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Unsaturated Fatty Acids and Pain
Fatty acids, which are the essential nutrients for humans, are an important source of energy and an essential component of cell membranes. They also function as signal transduction molecules in a range of biological phenomena. Recently, an increasing number of physiologic and pharmacologic reports on fatty acids have improved our understanding of the ...

The Staphylococcus aureus Response to Unsaturated Long Chain Free Fatty Acids: Survival Mechanisms and Virulence Implications. [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus is an important human commensal and opportunistic pathogen responsible for a wide range of infections. Long chain unsaturated free fatty acids represent a barrier to colonisation and infection by S.

Polymerization of Unsaturated Fatty Acids. II.
The polymerization of methyl linoleate in the presence of aluminium halides, AlI3, AlBr3, AlCl3 and AlF3 at 300°C was studied. The result shows that only aluminium iodide among the halides promotes the polymerization. The effects of reaction conditions on the polymerization of methyl linoleate with aluminium iodide were studied further.

Effect of Animal and Industrial Trans Fatty Acids on HDL and LDL Cholesterol Levels in Humans - A Quantitative Review [PDF]
Background: Trans fatty acids are produced either by industrial hydrogenation or by biohydrogenation in the rumens of cows and sheep. Industrial trans fatty acids lower HDL cholesterol, raise LDL cholesterol, and increase the risk of coronary heart ...

THE EFFECT OF TRANS FATTY ACID DIET ON BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL OF WISTAR RATS (A PRELIMINARY STUDY) [PDF]
Background: Trans fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that contain at least one double bond in the trans configuration and formed through the process of partial hydrogenation.
