LIPID FUNCTIONS Structure ―Biological Membranes phospholipids (phosphoglycerides) Energy Reserve―Triglycerides (fats/oils) Chemical Signals ―some hormones, prostaglandins, leukotrienes Many cellular lipids are esters made from the combination of an alcohol group (glycerol & sphingosine) and one or more Fatty acids.
Olic Acid = C18 monounsaturated Stearic Acid = C18 saturated natural unsaturated fatty acids are ‘cis’ isomers
HO-C HO-C HO-C HO-C O O O O Ω3 Ω6 polyunsaturated Stearic (saturated) C18 fatty acids Oliec (monounsaturated) Linoleic Linolenic

Animal fats have more saturated fatty acids while vegetable oils contain a higher degree of unsaturated fatty acids. Animals lack the enzymes to insert more than 1 C=C.

cis oleic linoleic trans oleic linolenic
SOAP O _ || O - C _ Soap is prepared by the base (NaOH or lye) hydrolysis of fat. This produces a solid sample comprised of glycerol + the salt of various fatty acids. When dissolved the fatty acid salts dissociate, and the ‘soap’ ions form a micelle structure. Na+ Salt of fatty acid

The phosphate also forms an ester with an amino alcohol. (e.g. ethanolamine R = H, choline R = CH3, or serine)

Prostaglandins are regulatory lipid molecules. They are similar to hormones but typically act within the same tissue type rather than being transported to the site to the site of action through the circulatory system. Prostaglandins are involved in blood clotting, inflammation response, gastric acid secretion, etc. They are synthesized from the membrane lipid, arachidonic acid. Aspirin is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis and has multiple effects including.. reduce inflammation response, and inhibit blood clotting. However, aspirin can also cause damage to the stomach lining.
Arachidonic Acid Derivatives as Signaling Lipids • Enzymatic oxidation of arachidonic acid yields • Prostaglandins (inflammation and fever) • Thromboxanes (formation of blood clots) • Leukotrienes (smooth muscle contraction in lungs)
