    This document discusses lipids and membranes. It describes simple lipids like triglycerides and complex lipids containing a non-lipid component like phospholipids. Fatty acids are described including saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Key polyunsaturated fatty acids like omega-3s and omega-6s are identified. Complex lipids contain a polar head group and two nonpolar tails. Phospholipids use glycerol or sphingosine as the backbone.

    Lipids and Membranes

    L4 + DLA 2/3/4
    Derived Lipids

    Derived by hydrolysis of
    simple/complex lipids

    Ex. Fatty Acid and


    Cholesterol

    Simple Lipids Complex Lipids

    TAGs Contain a non lipid component

    Ex. Phospholipid
    Derived Lipids

    Fatty Acids - Nomenclature

    Methyl End
    Carboxylic end
    Derived Lipids

    Saturated FA (single bonds)

    Animal fat/solid
    Longer length = closer packing/lower mobility

    Two types in humans:


    Palmitic Acid (most abundant) - 16 C
    Stearic Acid - 18 C
    Derived Lipids
    MUFAs
    Unsaturated FA (Contain double bonds) - ⬆ fluidity
    Oleic Acid
    Found in Olive Oil
    18 C (=9)

    PUFAs

    Omega 3s #3AED
    Alpha Linolenic Acid
    Eicopentanoic Acid
    DHA
    Omega 6s #6LACH
    Linoleic Acid
    Arachidonic Acid
    PUFAs

    Alpha Linolenic (18 C) Linoleic Acid (18 C)


    Essential FA and will synthesize: Essential FA which helps make:
    EPA (20 C) Arachidonic Acid (20 C)
    Heart Healthy Used to make Prostaglandins
    DHA (22 C)
    Myelination
    Simple Lipids

    Most common form are TAGs

    Storage form found in adipose

    FAs can be either unsaturated or


    FA saturated

    Glycerol FA

    FA
    Complex Lipids

    ALL complex lipids have a polar head group and 2 non-polar tails (FAs OR Non-Lipid)

    FA
    Phosphate head Glycerol
    + OR
    Nitrogenous base Sphingosine
    FA or non lipid
    Simple Lipids

    GlyceroPLs

    Phosphatidic acid is building block of all PLs in PM

    Cardiolipin in IM of mito

    DPPC
    Simple Lipids
