together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty acids and glycerol linked together by an ester bond. The three fatty acids that make up the triglyceride bond may be identical but a mixture of fatty acids is possible therefore many different triglycerides structures can be formed and this means that they have a range of functions (1). Saturated fats contain single bonds between

was driven by intake of saturated fats according to Professor Chavarro. Dietary fats containing saturated fatty acids affiliated with high levels of total plasma cholesterol and LDL cholesterol‚ women in highest tertile of polyunsaturated fat intake had a higher proportion of poor quality embryos and more slowly cleaving embryos than had women in the lowest tertile of intake. Trans fatty acids are formed during the hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oil which contents isn’t included of food label‚

It is often shortened to MCT oil. The individual members of this class of fatty acids were named for the length of their carbon chain. They have between six and twelve carbons. Fatty acids with more than twelve carbons are classified as long chain triglycerides (LCT). Fatty acids with fewer than six carbons are called short chain triglycerides (SCT). Coconut oil and palm oil are both naturally high in medium chain triglycerides

Amino Acids Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. In aqueous solution at or near neutral pH‚ glycine will exist predominantly as the zwitterion. Alanine is a hydrophobic molecule. It is ambivalent‚ meaning that it can be inside or outside of the protein molecule. The α carbon of alanine is optically active; in proteins‚ only the L-isomer is found. Serine differs from alanine in that one of the methylenic

Ayurveda medication‚ one of India’s customary medical systems and one of the world’s oldest systems comprehensively uses this marvelous product in many practices. One of the reasons that coconut oil is considered so healthy is because 50% lauric acid content which is a medium chain fatty acid.

Disease Coronary heart disease‚ also called coronary artery disease or ischemic heart disease‚ it characterized by an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (myocardium) because of narrowing or blocking of a coronary artery by fatty plaques. If the oxygen depletion is extreme‚ the effect may be a myocardial infarction (heart attack); if the deprivation is insufficient to cause infarction (death of a section of heart muscle)‚ the effect may be angina pectoris‚ or spasms of pain

Saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acids all have single bonds. It’s made up of two kinds of smaller molecules called monoglyceride and fatty acids. The fat is linked with a double bond. Double bonds can work with hydrogen to form a single bond. When the second bond breaks‚ each half of the bond is attached to a hydrogen atom. Saturated fat is mixed in all kinds of our everyday food. Its mixed in lamb‚ pork‚ butter‚ cheese‚ beef fatty ‚etc. Many of our baked food and fried food
