| monounsaturated fatty acids | A fatty acid chain with at least two empty spaces that could be hydrogenated (have a hydrogen atom added). Saturated (hydrogenated) fatty acids are a greater health risk for the development of atherosclerotic vascular disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| saturated fatty acids | In eukaryotic membranes refers to stearic, palmitic and myristic acids, that are linear aliphatic chains with no double bonds. Prokaryotes have numerous branched chain saturated fatty acids. (18 Nov 1997) |
| omega 3 fatty acids | A class of fatty acids that have a double bond three carbons from the methyl moiety; reportedly, they play a role in lowering cholesterol and LDL levels. Synonym: omega-3 fatty acids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty | Containing fat, or having the qualities of fat; greasy; gross; as, a fatty substance. <medicine> Fatty acid, a tumour consisting of fatty or adipose tissue; lipoma. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
