  2. Lipid peroxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_peroxidation

    Lipid peroxidation is a self-propagating chain reaction and will proceed until the lipid substrate is consumed and the last two remaining radicals combine, or a reaction which terminates it occurs. [3] Termination can occur when two lipid hydroperoxyl radicals (LOO•) react to form peroxide and oxygen (O 2).

  3. Nef reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nef_reaction

    The reaction has been the subject of several literature reviews. [1] [2] [3] The Nef reaction: 1. Salt of a nitroalkane 3. Ketone 4. Nitrous oxide. The reaction was reported in 1894 by the chemist John Ulric Nef, [4] who treated the sodium salt of nitroethane with sulfuric acid resulting in an 85–89% yield of nitrous oxide and at least 70% ...

  4. Nitroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroethane

    [5] Alternatively, nitroethane can be produced by the Victor Meyer reaction of haloethanes such as chloroethane, bromoethane, or iodoethane with silver nitrite in diethyl ether or THF. The Kornblum modification of this reaction uses sodium nitrite in either a dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide solvent. [6]

  5. Starvation response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response

    Starvation response in animals (including humans) is a set of adaptive biochemical and physiological changes, triggered by lack of food or extreme weight loss, in which the body seeks to conserve energy by reducing metabolic rate and/or non-resting energy expenditure to prolong survival and preserve body fat and lean mass.

  6. Fatty acid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

    The digestion products consisting of a mixture of tri-, di- and monoglycerides and free fatty acids, which, together with the other fat soluble contents of the diet (e.g. the fat soluble vitamins and cholesterol) and bile salts form mixed micelles, in the watery duodenal contents (see diagrams on the right).

  7. Henry reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_reaction

    The figure below illustrates one of the commonly accepted models for stereoselection without any modification to the Henry reaction. In this model, stereoselectivity is governed by the size of the R groups in the model (such as a carbon chain), as well as by a transition state that minimizes dipole by orienting the nitro group and carbonyl oxygen anti each other (on opposite sides of the ...

  8. Fatty acid synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_synthesis

    In contrast, the human body stores only about 400 g (0.9 lb) of glycogen, of which 300 g (0.7 lb) is locked inside the skeletal muscles and is unavailable to the body as a whole. The 100 g (0.2 lb) or so of glycogen stored in the liver is depleted within one day of starvation. [ 11 ]

  9. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    [2] [3] The majority of lipids found in the human body from ingesting food are triglycerides and cholesterol. [4] Other types of lipids found in the body are fatty acids and membrane lipids . Lipid metabolism is often considered the digestion and absorption process of dietary fat; however, there are two sources of fats that organisms can use to ...
