LipidsLipids
Lipids:Lipids: A heterogeneous class of naturally occurring organic compounds classified together on the basis of common solubility properties.• They are insoluble in water but soluble in aprotic
organic solvents, including diethyl ether, methylene chloride, and acetone.
Lipids include:• triglycerides, phospholipids, prostaglandins,
prostacyclins, and fat-soluble vitamins.• cholesterol, steroid hormones, and bile acids.

Fatty AcidsFatty Acids
Fatty acid:Fatty acid: A carboxylic acid derived from hydrolysis of animal fats, vegetable oils, or membrane phospholipids.• Nearly all have an even number of carbon atoms, most
between 12 and 20, in an unbranched chain.• The three most abundant are palmitic (16:0), stearic
(18:0), and oleic acid (18:1), where the first number is the number of carbons and the second is the number of double bonds in the hydrocarbon chain.
• In most unsaturated fatty acids, the cis isomer predominates; the trans isomer is rare.
• Unsaturated fatty acids have lower melting points than their saturated counterparts; the greater the degree of unsaturation, the lower the melting point.

TriglyceridesTriglycerides
Physical properties depend on the fatty acid components.• Melting point increases as the number of carbons in
its hydrocarbon chains increases and as the number of double bonds decreases.
• Oils: Triglycerides rich in unsaturated fatty acids are generally liquid at room.
• Fats: Triglycerides rich in saturated fatty acids are generally semisolids or solids at room temperature.

TriglyceridesTriglycerides
The lower melting points of triglycerides rich in unsaturated fatty acids are related to differences in their three-dimensional shape.• Hydrocarbon chains of saturated fatty acids can lie
parallel with strong dispersion forces between their chains; they pack into well-ordered, compact crystalline forms and melt above room temperature.
• Because of the cis configuration of the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids, their hydrocarbon chains have a less ordered structure and dispersion forces between them are weaker; these triglycerides have melting points below room temperature.

Soaps and DetergentsSoaps and Detergents
Natural soaps are prepared by boiling lard or other animal fat with NaOH, in a reaction called saponification (Latin, sapo, soap).

Soaps and DetergentsSoaps and Detergents
Soaps clean by acting as emulsifying agents:• Their long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains are
insoluble in water and tend to cluster in such a way as to minimize their contact with water.
• Their polar hydrophilic carboxylate groups, on the other hand, tend to remain in contact with the surrounding water molecules.
• Driven by these two forces, soap molecules spontaneously cluster into micelles.
26-26-1111
Soaps and DetergentsSoaps and Detergents
• A soap micelle: nonpolar (hydrophobic) hydrocarbon chains cluster in the inside and polar (hydrophilic) carboxylate groups lie on the surface.

Soaps and DetergentsSoaps and Detergents
• micelle:micelle: A spherical arrangement of organic molecules in water clustered so that their hydrophobic parts are buried inside the sphere and their hydrophilic parts are on the surface of the sphere and in contact with water.
• when soap is mixed with water-insoluble grease, oil, and fats, the nonpolar parts of the soap micelles “dissolve” these nonpolar dirt molecules and they are carried away in the polar wash water.

The design criteria for a good detergent are:• a long hydrocarbon tail of 12 to 20 carbons.• a polar head group that does not form insoluble salts
with Ca(II), Mg(II), or Fe(III) ions.
The most widely used synthetic detergents are the linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (LAS).

Prostaglandins, originProstaglandins, origin
Prostaglandins are not stored in tissues as such, but are synthesized from membrane-bound 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids in response to specific physiological triggers.• One such polyunsaturated fatty acid is arachidonic
acid (notice the all cis configurations).

Danabol / Dianabol has always been one of the most popular anabolic steroids available. Danabol / Dianabol's popularity stems from it's almost immediate and very strong anabolic effects. 4-5 tablets a day is enough to give almost anybody dramatic results. It is usually stacked with deca durabolin and testosterone enanthate. Along with strong anabolic effects comes the usual androgen side effects, users often report an overall sense of well being. Danabol / Dianabol is a strong anabolic and androgenic product. It most often produced dramatic gains in size and strength. Danabol / Dianabol was also shown to increase endurance and glycogen retention.
The down side is that this drug is responsible for a number of side effects. It is an alpha alkylated 17 compound, which is quite toxic to the liver. Average dosages for Danabol / Dianabol have been in the range of 15mg to 30mg a day oral or 50mg to 100mg a week by injection. Regarded by many athletes as being one of the most effective oral steroids ever produced. It was not known as the "Breakfast of Champions" for nothing. Danabol / Dianabol is still one of the most effective strength and size building oral steroids probably second only to Anadrol 50 but it is not as harsh on the system as Anadrol 50 is.

PhospholipidsPhospholipids
Phospholipids are the second most abundant group of naturally occurring lipids.• They are found almost exclusively in plant and animal
membranes, which typically consist of 40% -50% phospholipids and 50% - 60% proteins.
• The most abundant phospholipids are esters of phosphatidic acid (glycerol esterified with two molecules of fatty acid and one of phosphoric acid).
• The three most abundant fatty acids in phosphatidic acids are palmitic acid (16:0), stearic acid (18:0), and oleic acid (18:1).

Fat-Soluble VitaminsFat-Soluble Vitamins
Vitamins are divided into two broad classes on the basis of their solubility: • Those that are fat soluble, and hence classified as
lipids.• Those that are water soluble.
The fat-soluble vitamins include A, D, E, and K.

Vitamin AVitamin A
• Occurs only in the animal world.• Found in the plant world in the form of a provitamin in
a group of pigments called carotenes.
26-26-4444
Vitamin AVitamin A
The best understood role of Vitamin A is its participation in the visual cycle in rod cells.• the active molecule is retinal (vitamin A aldehyde),
which forms an imine with an -NH2 group of the protein opsin to form the visual pigment called rhodopsin.
• the primary chemical event of vision in rod cells is absorption of light by rhodopsin followed by isomerization of the 11-cis double bond to the 11-trans configuration.

• In the body, vitamin E functions as an antioxidant; it traps peroxy radicals of the type HOO• and ROO• formed as a result of oxidation by O2 of unsaturated hydrocarbon chains in membrane phospholipids.
