  2. Unsaturated fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsaturated_fat

    Meat products contain both saturated and unsaturated fats. Although unsaturated fats are conventionally regarded as 'healthier' than saturated fats, [6] the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation stated that the amount of unsaturated fat consumed should not exceed 30% of one's daily caloric intake. [7] Most foods ...

  3. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    Cis unsaturated fatty acids, however, increase cellular membrane fluidity, whereas trans unsaturated fatty acids do not. trans A trans configuration, by contrast, means that the adjacent two hydrogen atoms lie on opposite sides of the chain. As a result, they do not cause the chain to bend much, and their shape is similar to straight saturated ...

  4. Saturated fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_fat

    A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all single bonds between the carbon atoms. A fat known as a glyceride is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: a short glycerol backbone and fatty acids that each contain a long linear or branched chain of carbon (C) atoms.

    The researchers found that grass-finished beef is higher in moisture content, 42.5% lower total lipid content, 54% lower in total fatty acids, 54% higher in beta-carotene, 288% higher in vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), higher in the B-vitamins thiamin and riboflavin, higher in the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium, 193% higher in total ...

  7. Lipid bilayer phase behavior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_bilayer_phase_behavior

    Diagram showing the effect of unsaturated lipids on a bilayer. The lipids with an unsaturated tail (blue) disrupt the packing of those with only saturated tails (black). The resulting bilayer has more free space and is consequently more permeable to water and other small molecules.

  9. Fatty acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    This creates the trans-2-decenoyl intermediate. Either the trans-2-decenoyl intermediate can be shunted to the normal saturated fatty acid synthesis pathway by FabB, where the double bond will be hydrolyzed and the final product will be a saturated fatty acid, or FabA will catalyze the isomerization into the cis-3-decenoyl intermediate.
