  2. Triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglyceride

    Triglycerides take formal IUPAC names according to the rule governing naming of esters. For example, the formal name propane-1,2,3-tryl 1,2-bis((9 Z )-octadec-9-enoate) 3-(hexadecanoate) applies to the pheromone informally named as glyceryl 1,2-dioleate-3-palmitate, [ 8 ] and also known by other common names including 1,2-dioleoyl-3 ...

  3. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula C 6 H 12 O 6. Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, [4] a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.

  4. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

    The more cholesterol a rat eats the lower the blood cholesterol. [16] During the first seven hours after ingestion of cholesterol, as absorbed fats are being distributed around the body within extracellular water by the various lipoproteins (which transport all fats in the water outside cells), the concentrations increase. [17]

  5. IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    Use. IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. [1] For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.

  6. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    Together with cholesterol and ceramides, free fatty acids form a water-impermeable barrier that prevents evaporative water loss. [35] Generally, the epidermal lipid matrix is composed of an equimolar mixture of ceramides (about 50% by weight), cholesterol (25%), and free fatty acids (15%). [ 35 ]

  8. Lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid

    Although the term "lipid" is sometimes used as a synonym for fats, fats are a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides. Lipids also encompass molecules such as fatty acids and their derivatives (including tri-, di-, monoglycerides, and phospholipids), as well as other sterol -containing metabolites such as cholesterol. [6]

  9. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry. In chemical nomenclature, the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended [1][2] by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). It is published in the Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (informally called the Blue Book). [3]
