Lipid Classification Based on Function
Chemical messenger lipids
Protective-coating lipids
Two Types of Triacylglycerols
Long chain fatty acids (C twelve to C twenty-six)
Short chain fatty acids (less than C five)
Classification Based on Carbon-Carbon Bonds:
Physical Properties of Fatty Acids
Difference of Fats and Oils
Transport Across Cell Membranes
Transport Across Cell Membranes
Transport Across Cell Membranes
Emulsification Lipids (Bile Acids)
Emulsification Lipids: Bile Acids
Emulsification Lipids: Bile Acids
The lipids that play the role of "chemical messengers" include:
Sex hormones - control reproduction and secondary sex characteristics
Estrogens - the female sex hormones
Two types of adrenocorticoid hormones:
A twenty carbon fatty acid derivative containing a cyclic ether ring and oxygen-containing functional groups
A twenty carbon fatty acid derivative containing three conjugated double bonds and hydroxyl groups
