For example sn-glycero-3-phosphoric acid and sn-glycero-1-phosphoric acid are enantiomers. Most vegetable oils have unsaturated fatty acids in the sn-2 position, with saturated fatty acids in the 1-sn and/or 3-sn position. [8] Animal fats more often have saturated fatty acids in the 2-sn, with unsaturated fatty acids in the 1-sn and/or 3-sn ...
Example of an unsaturated fat triglyceride (C 55 H 98 O 6). Left part: glycerol ; right part, from top to bottom: palmitic acid , oleic acid , alpha-linolenic acid . Glycerolipids are composed of mono-, di-, and tri-substituted glycerols , [ 30 ] the best-known being the fatty acid triesters of glycerol, called triglycerides .
Glycerophospholipids have three components: fatty acid lipid groups (orange), glycerol backbone (white), and 3-phosphate ester (green) Glycerol 3-phosphate is a starting material for de novo synthesis of glycerolipids.
An example of a phosphatidylcholine, a type of phospholipid in lecithin. Shown in red – choline residue and phosphate group; black – glycerol residue; green – monounsaturated fatty acid residue; blue – saturated fatty acid residue. The different forms of lecithin – powder, two different concentration liquids, granular and powder lecithin

Examples include phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP 2), that can be split by the enzyme phospholipase C into inositol triphosphate (IP 3) and diacylglycerol (DAG), which both carry out the functions of the G q type of G protein in response to various stimuli and intervene in various processes from long term depression in neurons [19 ...
The ketogenic diet, characterized by low carbohydrates and high fat consumption, has become increasingly popular over the last decade or so. As a result, ketone drinks or supplements have boomed.
For example, seminolipid, a vital part of the testes and sperm cells, has a ether linkage. [ 1 ] The term " plasmalogen " can refer to any ether lipid with a vinyl ether linkage, i.e. ones with a carbon-carbon double bond next to the ether linkage.
