Fatty Acids are...

no double bonds?

containing one or more double bonds

Nomenclature:

Saturated Acids ends with

unsaturated acids with double bonds

acids containing double bond

acids containing two or more double bonds

Derived from eicosa (20 carbon) unit length are signaling molecules made by the enzymatic or non-enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid or other polyunsaturated fatty acids

Acts as local hormones l Synthesized from eicosanoic polyunsaturated fatty acids (arachidonic acid) to form cyclopentane ring

Cyclopentane ring interrupted with an oxygen atom

numbers are based on the double bonds in the side chain

Keto group in 9 position

Hydroxyl group in 9 position

a pro-inflammatory agents and causes bronchoconstriction, thus play a part in asthma

does this statement is correct?

"Leukotrienes and Lipoxins Has three (leukotrienes) to four (lipoxins) conjugated double bonds"

Major role of fatty acids

an acronym for lipoxygenase interaction product, is a bioactive autacoid metabolite of arachidonic acid made by various cell types.

MELTING POINT of even numbered carbon fatty acids;

does TRIACYLGLYCEROL containing 12 C or more is solid at body temperature

its a fluid of all environmental conditions

Essential fatty acids; they cannot produce in the body, and must be consume

The position of the first C=C in the non polar chain.

is responsible of inflammation

carboxylic acids that contain five membered ring and have a wide range of biological activities

involved in the usual production of prostagladins

responsible for additional prostaglandins
