WHAT IS FATS AND FATTY ACID?
Fats are a group of chemical compounds that contain fatty acids.
Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat.
During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood.

Triglycerides
TriglyceridesAll triglycerides are made up of a fork-like structure in which glycerol and 3 building blocks of fatty acids.

WHAT IS GLYCEROL?
Glycerol a clear, colorless, viscous, sweet-tasting liquid belonging to the alcohol family of organic compounds
glycerol was obtained as a by-product in making soaps from animal and vegetable fats and oils.

STRUCTURE OF FATTY ACID
• Long-chain carboxylic acids• Typically 12-18 carbon atoms • Fatty acids vary in the length of
their carbon atom chain (from 4 to 22) and the number of double bonds they contain.
![Page 9: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

TYPES OF FATTYACID
Fatty acids are classified according to the number of double bonds they possess.
There are two types of fatty acids.
1. Saturated fatty acids
2. Unsaturated fatty acids
![Page 11: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Saturated FattyAcidsSaturated = C–C bonds Saturated fatty acids are long chains
fatty acid which lack double bonds between carbon atoms in their structure.
These bonds are highly saturated with hydrogen atoms Saturated fatty acids are fats that can not break down in body collect, in places in body and get stored.
![Page 12: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
EXAMPLE
Some examples of saturated fatty acids Acetic acid Butyric acid Caproic acid Palmitic acids.
![Page 13: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
Unsaturated = one or more C=C bonds• Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids with one
or more double bonds between carbon atoms.They are unsaturated fatty acids because their double bond are unsaturated.
• They can be saturated by adding hydrogen atoms and thus converting the double bonds into single bonds. The carbon atoms on bothside of double bond can occur in two different configuration namely CIS and ‘TRANS’.
![Page 14: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
They are the ‘healthy’ fats and are encouraged as part of a healthy diet as they:
oReduce heart diseaseoLower cholesterol levelsoReplace saturated fat in the diet

TYPES OF UNSATURATED FATTYACIDS
Unsaturated fatty acids can be further categories in;
Monounsaturated fatty acidsPolyunsaturated fatty acids
![Page 18: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
TYPES OF UNSATURATED FATTYACIDS
MONOUNSATURATED
fatty acids have one double bond in the molecule, e.g. oleic acid plamitoleic acid found in most animal and plant fats and oils, especially olive oil
![Page 19: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TYPES OF UNSATURATED FATTYACIDS
POLYUNSATURATED
fatty acids have more than one double bond in the molecule, e.g. linolenic acid, also known as Omega 3 and linoleic acid, also known as Omega 6.
![Page 20: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS
• Omega 3 fatty acids also called w-3 are poly unsaturated fatty acids with a double bond(c=c) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain, refer to a group of three fats called ALA (found in plant oil) EPA and DHA both commonly
found in marine oil.
![Page 21: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• ALA( a-linolenic acid 18 carbon and 3 double bond) to form a more important long chain
• EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) 20 carbons and 5 double bonds and then from EPA, the most crucial DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) 22 carbons and 6 double bonds with even greater inefficiency is formed.
OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

OMEGA 6 FATTY ACIDS• OMEGA 6 fatty acids are also referred to as W-6 fatty
acids or N-6 fatty acids are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that have a common carbon double bond in the n-6 position that is the sixth bond counting from the metyl end.
• Dietary sources include poultry, egg, avocado, nuts, cereals and whole grains
![Page 23: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SOURCE OF FATTY ACIDS
• Fatty acids are found in oils and other fats that make up different foods.
• Through animal sources we can also get fatty acids e.g. meat.
• Fat also present in dairy
products, like milk, egg yolk.• Also present in fish
![Page 24: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GOOD VS BAD FATTY ACIDS
![Page 25: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Digestion
• Mouth: chewing, lingual lipase present in mouth
• Stomach: gastric lipase• Small Intestine: bile, Secretin = pancreatic
juice (pancreatic lipase)• Micelles: tiny emulsified fat packets that
can enter intestinal cells (enterocytes)
![Page 26: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ABSORPTION
• Most fat absorption takes place in the duodenum or jejunum – micelles carry monoglycerides and free fatty acids to the brush border where they diffuse into enterocytes
• Bile salts are absorbed in the ileum
![Page 27: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ABSORPTION
• Once these lipoproteins leave the cell, they become CHYLOMICRONS and enter the lymph system
• Short-chain fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed directly into bloodstream. They do not enter the lymph system.
• Cholesterol and other sterols are poorly absorbed. Overall, about 50% of dietary cholesterol is absorbed.

Fatty acids Used to Regulate Blood Sugar Levels
• Fatty acids are also important for controlling and regulating metabolic reactions. When your body experiences low blood glucose or increased metabolic demand due to physical activity, it needs more energy
• When your energy balance shifts with variations in physical activity and your food intake, fatty acids metabolism is adjusted to accommodate the changes.
![Page 31: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Risk of Diseases
• Risks associated with high dietary fat intake:
• ↑ fat intake Obesity Cancer

FUNCTIONS OF FATTY ACIDS
They are an important part of a healthy diet, because the body needs them for several purposes.
Fatty acids help move oxygen through the bloodstream to all parts of the body. They aid cell membrane development, strength, and function, and they are necessary for strong organs and tissue.
Fatty acids can also help keep skin healthy, help prevent early aging, and may promote weight loss by helping the body process cholesterol.
![Page 33: Assigment of biochemistry about fatty acids](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052506/557dba0cd8b42a11428b51a3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FUNCTIONS OF FATTY ACIDS
More importantly, they help rid the arteries of cholesterol build up. Another purpose of fatty acids is to assist thyroid glands, which may also help regulate weight.
Essential fatty acids assist in the development and function of the brain and nervous system,
They also help you look good, as a diet low in these fatty acids has been shown to create skin problems, including eczema, dandruff, split nails and brittle hair
