Fatty Acids
long chain linear hydrocarbons carboxylic
acids Usually have an even number of C atoms
(usually 12 to 20) The carbons are numbered
starting from the carboxylic C. They are
amphiphilic they have a polar end and rest of
the molecule is nonpolar Fatty acids may be
saturated (no double bonds) or unsaturated (one
or more double bonds) All naturally occurring
double bonds have a cis-configuration Longer
chain and saturation increases melting point of
FA

16
? 3 and ?6 Fatty acids
Omega-3 ?-3 fatty acids (Linolenic) are found
mainly in fish and fish products. ?-3 FAs
inhibit formation of thromboxane A2 (an
eicosanoid) required for platelet aggregation and
clot formation. Thus, ?-3 FAs decrease the risk
of heart disease

Palmitic acid,
  • The most common saturated fatty acid found in
    animals and plants.
  • Palmitic acid is the first fatty acid produced
    during Lipogenesis (fatty acid synthesis)
  • Intake of palmitic acid increases risk of
    developing cardiovascular diseases.

19
Arachidonic acid
  • is present in the phospholipids
  • involved in cellular signaling as a lipid second
    messenger

20
Why are these essential?
  • In most mammals, double bonds can be formed at
    the ?4, ?5, ?6, and ?9 positions, but never
    beyond ?9, therefore any fatty acid that needs to
    add a double bond after ?10 for example are
    essential
  • all saturated fatty acids are nonessential
  • all monounsaturated fatty acids are nonessential

Essential FFA functions Needed for eicosanoid
production Part of structural lipids of the
cell and add structural integrity of
mitochondrial membrane Necessary for fetal
development, brain, and retina (vision)
21
Properties of Fatty acids
22
Saponification
  • Alkali hydrolysis of fatty acids
  • R-COOH NaOH, KOH RCOONaH2O

23
Isomeration
  • saturated fatty acids (zig zag pattern)
  • unsaturated fatty acids
  • cis acyl chains are on the same side of the
    double bond (nearly all naturally occurring fatty
    acids)
  • 2. trans acyl chains are on opposite sides of
    the bond
  • ?? present in certain foods
  • ?? Most arise due to partial hydrogenation
    (saturation) of polyunsaturated fatty
  • acids of natural oils (margarine)

24
Hydrogenation
  • Hydrogenation process of replacing some double
    bonds of polyunsaturated fats with hydrogen
    atoms. The process by which vegetable oil becomes
    margarine.
  • When vegetable oils are hydrogenated, some
    double bonds undergo a change in configuration
    and are concerted to Trans Fatty Acids.

The Cis configuration is typical of the fatty
acid in natural foods.
The Trans fatty acids (formed during
hydrogenation) may raise LDL and lower HDL level.

26
Melting Temperature
?? melting points of even-numbered carbon fatty
acids increase with chain length and decrease
according to unsaturation ?? saturated,
long-chain fatty acids are solid at body
temperature (high melting point) ??
polyunsaturated fatty acids are liquid at 0C
(low melting point) The membrane lipids, which
must be fluid at all environmental temperatures,
are more unsaturated Question?
27
Lipid peroxidation
  • Peroxidation (auto-oxidation) of lipids is
    responsible for deterioration of foods and also
    damage of tissues which causes cancer,
    inflammatory disease, atherosclerosis, etc.
  • The reaction is initiated by an existing free
    radical (X .), by light or by metal.
  • The deterioration effects cause by free radicals
    (ROO ., RO. , OH. ) produced during peroxide
    formation from fatty acids (unsaturated)

Lipid peroxidation
  • Anti-oxidants
  • - BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT
    (butylated hydroxytoluene) are antioxidants used
    as food derivates
  • Vit E, C, Beta carotene, glutathion(?????????
    ???? ???? ????? ???)
  • Catalase, superoxid dismutase, lipooxygenase
  • Polyunsaturated fats spoil more easily than
    saturated fats.
  • Rancidity Flavor and odor of fat is affected,
    due to the oxidation of double bonds.
  • To protect polyunsaturated fats from rancidity
  • 1. Refrigeration
  • 3. Hydrogenation

Glycerol is the basis of Triglyceride
Phosphoglycerol is basis of Phospholipids
32
Sterol
Sterols Lipids containing multiple rings of
carbon atoms. Are essential components of cell
membranes and many hormones Are manufactured in
our bodies and therefore are not essential
components of our diet

Triglycerides
In Triacylglycerol (TG) all 3 OH of glycerol
are esterified by FAs. Monoacylglygerol and
diacylglycerol have, respectively, 1 and 2 FAs
Naturally occurring glycerol is L-glycerol. TG
are the storage form of FA most dietary fats are
triglycerides Physiologically, TG are digested
in the small intestine by the enzyme pancreatic
lipase Monoacylglycerols are absorbed through
the intestinal cells, re-converted to TG and
assembled into lipoproteins

Triglycerides
Fatty acids can differ in Length of their
carbon chain Short-, medium-, or long-chain
Level of saturation Saturation refers to how
many hydrogen atoms surround each carbon
Shape The shape of a triglyceride is determined
by the saturation of the carbon chains.
Saturated fatty acids can pack tightly together
and are solid at room temperature. For example
animal fats, butter, and lard are high in
saturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids
do not stack together well and are liquid at
room temperature. Plant oils have unsaturated
fatty acids.

Net Charge pH 7 0
44
Phosphatidylcholine
  • Functions
  • Choline is required for the proper metabolism of
    fats
  • -Facilitates the movement of fats in and out of
    cells. In liver, it exports the fat from the
    hepatocytes (Choline deficiencyFat
    accumulation, fatty liver, cirrhosis)
  • Like Vitamin B12, 5-adenosylmethionine, and
    Folic Acid, choline acts in the human body as a
    methyl donor.
  • Choline is needed for cell membrane integrity
    because of the critical role it plays in the
    manufacture of primary components of cell
    membranes, such as phosphatidylcholine and
    sphingomyelin.
  • Choline is essential in the synthesis of
    acetylcholine. Choline supplementation increases
    the accumulation of acetylcholine which plays a
    crucial role in many brain processes, including
    memory.
  • Phosphatidylcholine increases the solubility of
    cholesterol and thereby decreases
  • cholesterols ability to induce atherosclerosis.

    phospholipids.
  • Function (?? ?????)
  • Gangliosides, glycosphingolipids, and
    glycoproteins found on the surface of

80
(No Transcript)
81
Progesterone
It is synthesized in the corpus luteum of the
ovaries. The hormone prepares the uterus for a
possible pregnancy. The development of the
mammary glands is also stimulated by progesterone
82
Estradiol
Estradiol is the most important of the estrogens.
Like progesterone, it is synthesized by the
ovaries and, during pregnancy, by the placenta as
well. Estradiol controls the menstrual cycle.
It promotes proliferation of the Uterine mucosa,
and is also responsible for the development of
the female secondary sexual characteristics
(breast, fat distribution)
83
Cortisole
Cortisol, the most important glucocorticoid, is
synthesized by the adrenal cortex. It is
involved in regulating protein and carbohydrate
metabolism by promoting protein degradation and
the conversion of amino acids into glucose. As
a result, the blood glucose level rises.
Synthetic glucocorticoids (e. g., dexamethasone)
are used in drugs due to their anti-inflammatory
and immunosuppressant effects.
84
Testosterone
Testosterone is the most important of the male
sexual steroids (androgens). It is synthesized
in the Leydig intersitial cells of the testes,
and controls the development and functioning of
the male gonads. It also determines secondary
sexual characteristics in men (muscles, hair,
etc.).
85
Aldosterone
Aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid, is also
synthesized in the adrenal gland. In the
kidneys. it promotes Na resorption by inducing
Na/K ATPase and Na channels. At the same
time, it leads to increased K excretion. In this
way, aldosterone indirectly increases blood
pressure.
86
Calcitriol
Calcitriol is a derivative of vitamin D.
Calcitriol itself is synthesized in the kidneys.
Calcitriol promotes the resorption of calcium
in the intetine and increases the Ca2 level in
the blood.
87
Vitamin D
88
Eicosanoid Hormones
  • Eicosanoid horomones are synthesized from
    arachadonic acid (204).
  • Prostaglandins
  • Prostacyclins
  • Thromboxanes
  • Leukotrienes

89
Eicosanoid Hormones
  • Eicosanoids are oxygenated derivates of
    polyunsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids
  • Most cells, except red blood cells, produce
    eicosanoids,
  • Have profound physiological effects at extremely
    low concentrations.
  • They have specific effects on target cells close
    to their site of formation.
  • They are rapidly degraded, so they are not
    transported to distal sites within the body.
  • Effects
  • -Inflammatory response to damaged tissue
  • - Production of pain and fever
  • - Regulation of blood pressure
  • -Induction of blood clotting
  • - Control of reproduction functions
  • - Regulation of sleep/wake cycle

90
Eicosanoid
  • Prostaglandins all have a cyclopentane ring.
  • A letter code is based on ring modifications
    (e.g., hydroxyl or keto groups).
  • A subscript refers to the number of double bonds
    in the two side-chains.

Prostacyclin Prostaglandin I2 (PGI2)
91
SUBSTITUTION PATTERN OF PROSTANOIDS
92
EICOSANOIDS
Eicosanoids act via membrane receptors in the
immediate vicinity of their site of synthesis,
both on the synthesizing cell itself (autocrine
action) and on neighboring cells (paracrine
action).
Physiological functions of eicosanoids.

95
  • Prostaglandin H2 Synthase catalyzes the
    committed step in the cyclic pathway
  • PGH2 Synthase is a heme-containing dioxygenase,
    bound to ER membranes.
  • (A dioxygenase incorporates O2 into a
    substrate).
  • PGH2 Synthase exhibits 2 activities
    cyclooxygenase peroxidase.
  • PGH2 Synthase (expressing both cyclooxygenase
    peroxidase activities) is sometimes referred to
    as Cyclooxygenase, abbreviated COX.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),
    such as aspirin and derivatives of ibuprofen,
    inhibit cyclooxygenase activity of PGH2 Synthase

96
Effects of Prostaglandins
  • Stimulate or inhibit smooth-muscle contraction
  • Inhibit HCl secretion in the stomach,
    particularly PGE1
  • Promote mucus secretion, which protects the
    gastric mucosa against the acid.
  • In the immune system, prostaglandins attract
    leukocytes to the site of infection
  • PGF2a causes constriction of the uterus
  • PGE2 is applied locally to help induce labor at
    term

97
NSAIDs (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs)
  • Acetylsalicylic acid and related non-steroidal
    anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) selectively
    inhibit the cyclooxygenase activity of
    prostaglandin synthase and consequently the
    synthesis of most eicosanoids.
  • Aspirin acetylates a serine hydroxyl group near
    the active site, preventing arachidonate binding.
    The inhibition by aspirin is irreversible
  • Most other NSAIDs, such as indomethacin and
    ibuprofen, inhibit cyclooxygenases by competing
    with arachidonate.

98
  • Side effects of NSAIDs
  • Impairing hemostasis because of inhibiting
    synthesis of thromboxanes by thrombocytes
  • Increasing HCl secretion and inhibiting the
    formation of protective mucus.
  • Long-term NSAID use damages the gastric mucosa.

Selective COX inhibitors
  • Celecoxib
  • Rofecoxib
  • Because COX-2 is usually specific to inflamed
    tissue, there is much less gastric irritation
    associated with COX-2 inhibitors, with a
    decreased risk of peptic ulceration.

Lipid transport in the circulation
Lipids are insoluble in plasma. In order to be
transported they are combined with specific
proteins to form lipoproteins
Proteins (apoproteins)
Non polar lipids in core (TAG and cholesterol
ester)
Cholesterol
  • Apoproteins are only weakly associated with a
    particular lipoprotein and are easily transferred
    to another lipoprotein of a different class.
    Apoproteins have various functions including 
  • Structural role 
  • Binding sites for receptors 
  • Activators or co-enzymes for enzymes involved
    with lipid metabolism

102
Physiological Function
  • Transport lipid from exogenous (diet) or
    endogenous (de novo synthesis) sources for
    delivery to cells and tissues for energy, storage
    or building block components
  • Transport fat-soluble vitamins
  • Transport fat-soluble drugs
  • Delivery of cholesterol to steroid hormone
    producing tissues
  • They have a critical role in atherosclerosis

103
Functions of Apoproteins (Apo)
Structural Serve to stabilize and maintain
the molecular structure of the molecule
Regulatory Cofactors for enzymes involved in
lipoprotein metabolism
Mediation Serve as ligands for lipoprotein
interactions with receptors

Cholesterol Cholesterol is an essential
component of biomembranes and imparts stability
to the fluid structure. Cholesterol is a
steroid. All steroids have the same
basic structure consisting of 4 hydrocarbon rings
linked together Cholesterol has a OH group
which provides the polarity and a hydrocarbon
group at the other end which adds to its
hydrophobic nature In biomembranes, the OH of
cholesterol is aligned with the head group
(phosphate) of phospholipids Steroids are
important metabolically (cholesterol),
for digestion (bile salts), as hormones (human
sex hormones)

biomembranes are glycolipids and cholesterol.
Surfactants are phopsholipids, mostly
phosphatidylcholine PL are subclassified based
on their parent lipid phopshoglycerides or
sphingomyelins Phosphatidic acid basic

Phospholipids
Phospholipids (lecithin) Are composed of
Glycerol backbone 2 fatty acids Phosphate
Are partially soluble in water Are manufactured
in our bodies so they are not required in our diet
118
Phospholipids ?? At least one fatty acid and one
phosphorus compound attached to glycerol ??
Includes lecithin (phosphotidylcholine)
and sphingomyelins ?? Synthesized by the body as
needed
119
Functions of phospholipids ?? Are amphipathic so
can act as emulsifiers ?? Important component of
cell membranes ?? Present on the outer surface of
lipoproteins, allowing them to float freely in
the blood ?? Especially important for insulation
of nerves (in the myelin sheath as sphingomyelins)

126
Sphingolipids Sphingosine is a derivative of
glycerol but it has NH2 instead of -OH at C2 and
has a -OH as well as a long chain hydrocarbon on
C3 The NH2 forms an amide bond with a long
chain FA to form a ceramide. sphigomyelin is
formed when a phosphodiester bridge links the C1
-OH of ceramide to ethanolamine or choline
Sphingomyelins are found abundantly in the
myelin sheath that surrounds the nerve fibers
127
Glycolipids Glycolipids are lipids that contain
carbohydrates Cerebrosides have a
monosaccharide attached to the C1 -OH of
ceramide Gangliosides have an oligosaccharide
attached to the C1 -OH of ceramide Cerebrosides
and gangliosides are found in the brain and
nervous tissue In biomembranes, glycolipids are
oriented asymmetrically with the sugar units
always on the extracellular side of the membrane
128
Types of Fats (See figure 5-6) Saturated fats
are composed of triglycerides in which most
of the fatty acids are saturated. Saturated
fats are high in saturated fatty acids e.g.
beef, fat, cheese, milk fat, butter, etc.
Exceptions poultry and fish (less saturated)
Unsaturated fats Mono and polyunsaturated
fats. Most vegetable fats are high in
polyunsaturated fatty acids, e.g., corn oil,
safflower oil etc. Exceptions coconut oil,
palm oil. Coconut oil and palm oils are (also
called tropical oils) high in saturated fatty
acids.
129
Hydrogenation of fatty acids ?? Process used to
solidify an oil to increase resistance to
oxidation, increase shelf-life
spreadability, increased smoke point ?? Addition
of H to CC double bonds ?? Formation of -trans
fatty acids
130
Minimize intake of trans- fatty acids ?? Limit
use of processed grain products ?? Limit
deep-fried foods ?? Limit high fat baked goods ??
Limit use of non-dairy creamers ?? Ingredient to
watch for partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

Olive and canola oils are high in monounsaturated
fatty acids. Fish oils are high in ?3 PUFA.
134
Properties ?? melting points of
even-numberedcarbon fatty acids increase with
chain length and decrease according
to unsaturation ?? saturated, long-chain fatty
acids are solid at body temperature (high
melting point) ?? polyunsaturated fatty acids are
liquid at 0C (low melting point)
135
Which Ones Are Essential? ?? Linoleic acid (182
?-6) ?? Alpha-Linolenic acid (183 ?-3) ??
Arachidonic acid (204 ?-6) (not?) ?? EPA (205
?-3) (most likely?) ?? DHA (226 ?-3) (most
likely)?
136
?? Fatty acids can be saturated or
unsaturated ?? saturated fatty acids (SFA)
contain the maximum amount of hydrogens possible
- all C-C bonds are single ?? monounsaturated
fatty acids (MUFA) have 1 point of
unsaturation ?? polyunsaturated fatty acids
(PUFA) have 2 or more points of unsaturation ?? A
variety of the three fatty acids are found
in foods ?? Foods high in SFA tend to be solid at
room temperature, MUFA tend to be solid
at refrigerator temps, PUFA liquid at room
and refrigerator temps.
137
Fatty Acids ?? Fatty acids are the simplest of
the lipids components of more complex lipids ??
Hydrocarbon chain with a methyl group at one end
and an acid group at the other end ?? Differ
from each other in chain length and degree of
saturation
138
Sources ?? Generally, fats from fish
and vegetables are less saturated, fats from
animal products are more saturated.
139
The Role of Fat
Essential fatty acids Two fatty acids cannot
be synthesized in the body and must be obtained
in the diet Alpha-linoleic acid (omega-3 fatty
acid) Found in canola oil, soybean oil, flax
seed and oil, some nuts Linoleic acid (omega-6
fatty acid) Found in green leafy vegetables,
vegetable oils and whole grains The Role of Fat
Essential fatty acids Three fatty acids can be
synthesized in the body but may have to be
obtained in the diet EPA and DHA (omega-3 fatty
acid) Found in oily fish and fish oil
supplements Arachidonic acid (omega-6 fatty
acid) Found in meats, dairy, eggs, and poultry

Essential Fatty Acids Cannot be synthesized in
the body, must be provided from the diet. Human
body cannot make Linoleic acid (182), Linolenic
acid (183). Humans do not have enzymes to make
any of the omega-6 or omega-3 fatty acids from
scratch, nor can they convert an omega-6 to
omega-3 fatty acid or vice versa. Because these
two fatty acids are indispensable to
body function, they must be supplied by the
diet. (Linoleic acid is omega 6 and Linolenic
acid is an omega 3 fatty acid).
144
Omega 3 fatty acids The first double bond is on
C 3, counting from the methyl end of the fatty
acid. Ex. linolenic acid (183) Omega 6 fatty
acids The first double bond is on C
6, counting from the methyl end of the fatty
acid. Ex linoleic acid (182) The members of a
given family or series have different lengths and
different number of double bonds but the first
double bond occurs at the same point.
145
Food Sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids 1. Linolenic
acid 18 carbon and 3 double bonds (18 3) Ex
seeds, nuts, grains, soybeans, and veg. oils 2.
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) 20 carbons and 5
double bonds (205) Ex fish, shellfish 3.
Docosahexaenonic Acid (DHA) 22 carbons and 6
double bonds (226) Ex fish, shellfish
146
Sources of Essential Fatty Acids ?? Vegetable
oils, meats, dairy, eggs - ?6 fatty acids
dominant ?? Marine and seafood, some
vegetable oils - ?3 fatty acids dominant

The degree of saturation of Fatty acids (a)
Saturated fatty acids carry maximum of H
atoms, and have no double bonds. Ex. Stearic acid
(18 carbons, no double bond or 180 ). Palmitic
acid has 16 Cs and no double bonds ( 160) (b)
Monounsaturated fatty acids lost 2 H atoms
and have one double bond. Ex. Oleic acid. 18 C,
one double bond ( 181) (c) Polyunsaturated fatty
acids(PUFA) two or more double bonds Ex.
Linoleic(18 carbons, 2 double bonds or 182) and
linolenic) acid (183).
157
Rule of thumb for determining degree of
saturation for fats is How hard the lipid is
at room temperature. The more saturated a fat,
harder it is at room temperature. Vegetables
and fish oils are liquid at room temperature
(high in PUFA). Most animal fats are solid at
room temperature (high in saturated fatty acids)
e.g. beef fat, lard. Polyunsaturated fats have
lower melting point due to the carbon double
bonds.

The Location of Double Bonds Poly unsaturated
fatty acids also differ in the location of double
bonds. There are two families of polyunsaturated
fatty acids These depend on the location of
first double bond counting from the methyl end of
the carbon chain. 1. Omega 3 (?3) 2. Omega 6
(?6 The Omega number indicates the position of
the first double bond in a fatty acid from the
methyl (CH3) end of the fatty acid.
