Summary:
(a) Examples of lipid classes present in biological samples. (Top) Storage lipid (triacylglycerol: TAG) containing a saturated acyl chain (palmitin), a mono-unsaturated acyl chain (oleoyl) and a polyunsaturated acyl chain (alpha-linoleoyl). Storage lipids are also used as diet tracers because they reflect recent dietary fatty acids better than fatty acids of polar (membranes) lipids (see text; Mathieu et al. 2022). (Below) Phospholipid (PL: membrane lipid) containing a mono-unsaturated acyl chain (oleoyl) and docosahexaenoyl phosphatidyl choline. (b) Structures of fatty acids. A saturated fatty acid: palmitic acid (16:0, without double bonds); a mono-unsaturated fatty acid: oleic acid (18:1n-9, with one double bond between the 9th and 10th carbon); and an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid: docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, with 6 double bonds with the first double bond between the 3rd and 4th carbon from the methyl end of the chain).
