| fatty acids | Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (fatty acids, unsaturated). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| fatty acids, essential | Fatty acids that cannot be synthesised by the human body and must be obtained from dietary sources, e.g., linoleic acids and linolenic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, monounsaturated | Fatty acids which are unsaturated in only one position. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, nonesterified | The fraction of plasma fatty acids that are not in the form of glycerol esters. They are also called free fatty acids, but this is a misnomer because they are transported complexed with albumin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, omega-3 | A group of fatty acids, often of marine origin, which have the first unsaturated bond in the third position from the omega carbon. These fatty acids are believed to reduce serum triglycerides, prevent insulin resistance, improve lipid profile, prolong bleeding times, reduce platelet counts, and decrease platelet adhesiveness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, unsaturated | Fatty acids containing one (monounsaturated) or multiple (polyunsaturated) double bonds. They predominate in most plant-derived fats. The number and position of each double bond can be specified, as in the systematic names, or the position of the double bond closest to the methyl group (omega) terminus can be specified to denote functional subdivisions of the overall group, e.g., omega-3 fatty acids. The numbers and positions of the double bonds have been linked to effects on plasma lipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acids, volatile | Short-chain fatty acids of up to six carbon atoms in length. They are the major end products of microbial fermentation in the ruminant digestive tract and have also been implicated in the causation of neurological diseases in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty acyl ethyl ester synthase | <enzyme> Myocardial enzyme; esterifies free fatty acids in the absence of ATP and coenzyme a; the fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III has homology with glutathione s-transferase Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: fatty acid ethyl ester synthase, fatty acid ethyl ester synthase III, faee synthase, faees-iii gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| fatty alcohol | A long chain alcohol, analogous to the fatty acids, of which the fatty alcohol may be viewed as a reduction product; e.g., octadecanol from stearic acid. It is often found esterified in waxes. Synonym: wax alcohol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty alcohols | Usually high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohols, but can also range from as few as 4 carbons, derived from natural fats and oils, including lauryl, stearyl, oleyl, and linoleyl alcohols. They are used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, plastics, and lube oils and in textile manufacture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fatty ascites | <gastroenterology> A large collection of lymph fluid in the abdominal cavity, sometimes secondary to blockage of the main lymph duct or injury to it. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fatty atrophy | Fatty infiltration secondary to an atrophy of the essential elements of an organ or tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty cast | A renal or urinary cast consisting largely of fat globules; those containing doubly refractile bodies (composed of cholesterol) are found in the nephrotic syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty change | The appearance of microscopically visible droplets of fat in the cytoplasm of cells. See: fatty degeneration. Synonym: fatty change. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty cirrhosis | Early nutritional cirrhosis, especially in alcoholics, in which the liver is enlarged by fatty change, with mild fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
