Definition:
 Lipids are organic compounds, which have the
following common properties:
1. They are esters of fatty acids or substances
associated with them in nature.
2. Most of them are insoluble in water but soluble in fat
solvents (nonpolar solvents) e.g. benzene,
chloroform, acetone and ether.
Biomedical Importance:
1. Their high energy value (9 kcal /gm).
2. The fat-soluble vitamins and the essential fatty
acids contained in the fat of natural foods.
3. Lipids are found primarily in three compartments in
the body:
a) plasma
b) adipose tissue
c) biological membranes.

Cholesterol
 Sources: Exogenous (Dietary): The richest sources are eggyolk, red
meat, liver, kidney, butter and brain.
 Endogenous: Every cell can synthesize its own cholesterol (from acetyl
Co A). Plasma cholesterol is synthesized by the liver and intestine.
 Forms: It is present either free (nonesterified) or esterified with fatty acid
to form cholesteryl-ester. Free cholesterol contains 27 carbon atoms.
 Distribution of cholesterol: It is widely distributed in all tissues but
higher concentrations are present in the nervous tissue, liver, adrenals,
gonads, skin and adipose tissue.
 Plasma level of cholesterol:
Normally it ranges from 120 to
200 mg/dL (30% as free cholesterol and 70% as cholesteryl-esters).
Importance and derivatives of
cholesterol:
1- It is converted into bile acids and bile salts in the liver.
2- It is the precursor of all steroid hormones.
3- It can be oxidized in the liver into 7-dehydrocholesterol which can be
converted into vitamin D3 under the skin by ultraviolet rays.
4- It is an important constituent of cell membranes. Cholesterol moderates
fluidity of cell membranes:
At warm temperatures, cholesterol makes the membrane less fluid by limiting
the movement of the fatty acid tails of phospholipids (it cannot move to the same
extent as FA).
At low temperature cholesterol decreases the close packing of phospholipids,
increasing fluidity and decreasing gel formation.
Hazards of hyperchosterolemia:
Increased plasma level of
cholesterol predisposes
Atherosclerosis and Coronary
heart disease.
Carotenoids:
1. They are fat soluble pigments yellow to red in color.
2. They are widely distributed in plants and responsible for many colors of fruits
and vegetables e.g. orange, apricot, apple, tomato and carrots. They are also
found in human and animal fats, milk, butter and egg yolk.
3. They are precursors of vitamin A that have an important role in vision and
normal development.
4. They are powerful antioxidants that can help in the prevention of certain human
diseases, such as atherosclerosis or cancer.
5. They enhance immune response against infections.

Simple Lipids
1. Neutral fats or triacylglycerol (TAG)
2. Waxes
a- True wax (bee’s wax): It is ester of palmitic acid (C16) with mericyl alcohol (C30).
b- Cholesteryl esters.
c- Vitamin A (retinol) esters.
d- Vitamin D (calciferol) esters.
Triacylglycerol (Triglyceride):
 They contain glycerol alcohol,
which is colorless, odorless and
has a sweet taste. It is liquid
and soluble in water.
 The fatty acids present in TAG
are usually of different types
(mixed TAG).
Triacylglycerol
Neutral fats are classified into two sub-
groups:
 a) Oils: They are liquid at room temperature
due to their high content of USFA.
 b) Solid fats: They are solid at room
temperature due to their high content of long
chains SFA.

• 8- Plasmalogens:
 Cardiolipins (Diphosphatidylglycerol):
 4 Fas
 3 glycerol
 2 phosphates.
Plasmalogens:
composed of : fatty alcohol in ether linkage at the
position-1, a fatty acid at the position-2 and an R group at
the position-3. The R-group is in the form of ethanolamine
or choline.
importance: Alzheimer Disease.
Hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids
 -Phospholipase D is not present in
humans, but present only in plants.
 Snake venom toxins contain
lecithinase enzyme with PLA2 activity,
when injected into blood, it converts
phospholipids present in cell membranes
of RBCs into lysophospholipids.
 Therefore, snake venom toxins produce
hemolysis of RBCs, which causes death
if not treated by antitoxins.
B- Sphingomyelin:
 This type is present in cell
membranes specially of the
lungs and brain mainly in the
myelin sheath. It contains
sphingosine (sphingol) which
is an 18 carbon amino alcohol.
Fatty acids are linked to
sphingosine by an amide bond
to form ceramide, which is
connected to phoshocholine
to form sphingomyelin.
Importance and Functions of
Phospholipids:
1. Phospholipids are amphipathic
molecules that contain non-polar groups
of fatty acid side chains and polar groups
of glycerol, phosphate, serine,
ethanolamine, choline and inositol. They
form micelles in water.
2. They are good emulsifying factors, important for
digestion and absorption of dietary fats.
3. They are good hydrotropic substances; they
prevent deposition of cholesterol as cholesterol
stones (biliary calculi).
4. They are important constituents of plasma
lipoproteins.
Importance and Functions of
Phospholipids:
5. They provide arachidonic acid for synthesis of
eicosanoids.
6. They are essential for blood clotting, as they
provide the platelet activating factor (PAF), which
is a plasmalogen that contains choline, palmityl
alcohol at position 1 and acetic acid at position 2.
Importance and Functions of
Phospholipids:
7.Lung surfactant is formed mainly of dipalmitoyl-lecithin, the lack of which is responsible for
respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants.
-Lecithin/Sphingomyelin ratio (L/S ratio) is a marker of fetal lung maturity. The pulmonary
secretions from the fetal lungs into amniotic fluid maintains the level of lecithin and sphingomyelin
equally until 32-33 weeks gestation, afterward the lecithin concentration begins to increase
significantly while sphingomyelin remains nearly the same.
-L/S ratio of 2 or more indicates fetal lung maturity and L/S ratio of less than 1.5 is associated
with a high risk of infant respiratory distress syndrome.
-If preterm delivery is necessary and L/S ratio is low the mother may need to receive steroids to
increase the fetus surfactant production in the lungs.
Importance and Functions of
Phospholipids:
2ry Messengers

4. IP3 Calcium
5. DAG and Caicium activates protein
kinase C (PKC)
6. phosphorylation of certain proteins.
• Examples
1. chemical transmitters acetylcholine,
histamine and serotonin),
2. hormones vasopressin and α-1 receptors
3. growth factors
cAMP
1. activation of G proteins
2. activation of adenylyl cyclase cAMP
3. activates the protein kinase A
4. phosphorylation of proteins
5. It can be reversed by
a) Phosphatase (dephosphorelation)
b) Phophodiesterase( cAMP )
6. Examples insulin&glucagon
Importance and Functions of
Phospholipids:
9.They are important constituents of lipid bilayer in cell membranes: membrane
lipids are amphipathic; having both hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region.
Because of their structure, when phospholipids are added to water, they form
phospholipid bilayer, so that the phosphate and other polar groups form heads and
make contact with water (outer layer) and the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails are
restricted to water–free areas (inner layer).
Increased unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) content (at C2 of phospholipids) will
increase membrane fluidity because, the kinks of the cis-double bonds prevent the
packing of phospholipids closely together, keeping them away from each other, and
allow greater mobility. Straight hydrocarbon tails of saturated fatty acids interact
strongly with each other decreasing membrane fluidity.

Short - Acetic acid C2 CH3-COOH
- Butyric acid C4 CH3-(CH2)2-COOH
- Caproic acid C6 CH3-(CH2)4-COOH
Medium - Capric acid C10 CH3-(CH2)8-COOH

- Stearic acid C18 CH3-(CH2)16-COOH
- Arachidic acid C20 CH3-(CH2)18-COOH
Very long - Lignoceric acid C24 CH3-(CH2)22-COOH
Biomedical importance
Increased intake of saturated fatty acids may lead to
increase in plasma cholesterol levels and incidence of
coronary heart disease.
Fatty Acids
 Unsaturated Fatty Acids (USFA):
Fatty acids
Trans Fatty acids:
Trans fatty acids are formed mainly during the hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oils (during the manufacture of margarine).
Sources:
Very small amounts of trans-unsaturated fatty acids are found in butter but the main source in the human diet is from partially
hydrogenated vegetable oils (eg, margarine).
They are present in many commercial baked foods as cakes and cookies, frozen pizza and most fried foods.
Biomedical importance:
Trans fatty acids compete with essential fatty acids and may exacerbate essential fatty acid deficiency. Moreover, they are
structurally similar to saturated fatty acids and have comparable effects in the promotion of hypercholesterolemia and
atherosclerosis.
Fatty Acids
 Cis Fatty acids:
 They are classified according to the number of double
bonds in their chains into two main groups:
 1- Monoenoic acids: contain one double bond.
 2- Polyenoic acids: they have more than one double bond
in their structure, termed polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).
They include two important families which are ω3 & ω6

precursor of ω6 family
α-Linolenic acid (18:3) is the
precursor of ω3 family
Biomedical
importance
Intake has beneficial health
effects as:
-Decreased plasma
cholesterol
Intake of ω6 PUFAs may lead
to:
-decreased plasma
cholesterol
Intake of ω3 PUFAs may reduce the
incidence of cardiovascular disease
as they:
-lower the blood pressure,
-lower plasma triacylglycerol levels
-decrease the tendency to
thrombosis
Fatty acids
 Nutritional Classification of Fatty Acids:
 a)- Essential Fatty Acids: They are not synthesized in our body, so it is
essential to take them in diet. They include α linolenic and linoleic acids.
 Arachidonic acid is synthesized in our bodies from linoleic but in its absence,
arachidonic acid might be considered as an essential fatty acid.
 Deficiency of essential fatty acids produces: Dermatitis in infants, fatty liver,
growth retardation as well as defective sperms, brain and retina.
 b)- Non Essential Fatty Acids: They include all other fatty acids because they
are formed in our body in good amounts mainly from carbohydrates. It is not
essential to take them in diet.
Eicosanoids
 They are characterized by the following
common properties:
1. They are synthesized from PUFA with 20 carbon atoms mainly
arachidonic acid.
2. They have 20 carbon atoms.
3. They are produced by most mammalian tissues.
4. They have physiological and pharmacological actions.
5. They are hormone- like molecules. They are autocrine and paracrine
regulators.
6. The subscript number in an eicosanoid name indicates the number of
double bonds in the molecule e.g. PGE1, PGE2 and PGE3 contain one,
two and three double bonds respectively.

  • 1. LIPIDS OF BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE MADE BY AYMAN MOHAMMED HANY LECTURER OF BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
  • 2.
  • 4. Definition:  Lipids are organic compounds, which have the following common properties: 1. They are esters of fatty acids or substances associated with them in nature. 2. Most of them are insoluble in water but soluble in fat solvents (nonpolar solvents) e.g. benzene, chloroform, acetone and ether.
  • 5. Biomedical Importance: 1. Their high energy value (9 kcal /gm). 2. The fat-soluble vitamins and the essential fatty acids contained in the fat of natural foods. 3. Lipids are found primarily in three compartments in the body: a) plasma b) adipose tissue c) biological membranes.
  • 7. Derived Lipids Fatty acids Steroids Steroid hormone Sex Hormone Male Testosterone 19 c Female Estrogen 18 c Progesterone 21 c Corticoid Glucocorticoid Cortisol 21 c Mineralocorticoid Aldosterone 21 c Bile acids. Sterol Zoo sterol Cholesterol 27 c Mycosterol Phytosterol Alcohol Carotenoids Fat soluble vitamins Vitamin A Vitamin D Vitamin E Vitamin k
  • 8. Cholesterol  Sources: Exogenous (Dietary): The richest sources are eggyolk, red meat, liver, kidney, butter and brain.  Endogenous: Every cell can synthesize its own cholesterol (from acetyl Co A). Plasma cholesterol is synthesized by the liver and intestine.  Forms: It is present either free (nonesterified) or esterified with fatty acid to form cholesteryl-ester. Free cholesterol contains 27 carbon atoms.  Distribution of cholesterol: It is widely distributed in all tissues but higher concentrations are present in the nervous tissue, liver, adrenals, gonads, skin and adipose tissue.
  • 9.  Plasma level of cholesterol: Normally it ranges from 120 to 200 mg/dL (30% as free cholesterol and 70% as cholesteryl-esters).
  • 10. Importance and derivatives of cholesterol: 1- It is converted into bile acids and bile salts in the liver. 2- It is the precursor of all steroid hormones. 3- It can be oxidized in the liver into 7-dehydrocholesterol which can be converted into vitamin D3 under the skin by ultraviolet rays. 4- It is an important constituent of cell membranes. Cholesterol moderates fluidity of cell membranes: At warm temperatures, cholesterol makes the membrane less fluid by limiting the movement of the fatty acid tails of phospholipids (it cannot move to the same extent as FA). At low temperature cholesterol decreases the close packing of phospholipids, increasing fluidity and decreasing gel formation.
  • 11. Hazards of hyperchosterolemia: Increased plasma level of cholesterol predisposes Atherosclerosis and Coronary heart disease.
  • 12. Carotenoids: 1. They are fat soluble pigments yellow to red in color. 2. They are widely distributed in plants and responsible for many colors of fruits and vegetables e.g. orange, apricot, apple, tomato and carrots. They are also found in human and animal fats, milk, butter and egg yolk. 3. They are precursors of vitamin A that have an important role in vision and normal development. 4. They are powerful antioxidants that can help in the prevention of certain human diseases, such as atherosclerosis or cancer. 5. They enhance immune response against infections.
  • 13. Simple lipids Neutral fats (glycerol) Waxes (higher molecular weight monohydric alcohols e.g mericyl alcohol (C30)) Compound lipids Phospholipids (phosphate in addition to fatty acids and alcohol) Glycero- phospholipids Sphingomyelin Glycolipids (fatty acid, sphingosine, and carbohydrate)
  • 14. Simple Lipids 1. Neutral fats or triacylglycerol (TAG) 2. Waxes a- True wax (bee’s wax): It is ester of palmitic acid (C16) with mericyl alcohol (C30). b- Cholesteryl esters. c- Vitamin A (retinol) esters. d- Vitamin D (calciferol) esters.
  • 15. Triacylglycerol (Triglyceride):  They contain glycerol alcohol, which is colorless, odorless and has a sweet taste. It is liquid and soluble in water.  The fatty acids present in TAG are usually of different types (mixed TAG).
  • 17. Neutral fats are classified into two sub- groups:  a) Oils: They are liquid at room temperature due to their high content of USFA.  b) Solid fats: They are solid at room temperature due to their high content of long chains SFA.
  • 18. Compound lipids Phospholipids (phosphate in addition to fatty acids and alcohol) Glycerophospholipids Sphingomyelin Glycolipids (fatty acid, sphingosine, and carbohydrate) Cerebrosides Sulpholipids Gangliosides:
  • 19. Glycerophospholipids: Glycerophospholipids • 1. Phosphatidic acid (Diacylglycerolphosphate): • 2. Lecithin (Phosphatidylcholine): • 3. Cephalin (Phosphatidylethanolamine): • 4. Phosphatidylserine: • 5. Phosphatidylinositol (Lipositol): • 6. Phosphatidylglycerol: • 7- Cardiolipins (Diphosphatidylglycerol): • 8- Plasmalogens:
  • 20.
  • 21.
  • 22.  Cardiolipins (Diphosphatidylglycerol):  4 Fas  3 glycerol  2 phosphates. Plasmalogens: composed of : fatty alcohol in ether linkage at the position-1, a fatty acid at the position-2 and an R group at the position-3. The R-group is in the form of ethanolamine or choline. importance: Alzheimer Disease.
  • 23. Hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids  -Phospholipase D is not present in humans, but present only in plants.  Snake venom toxins contain lecithinase enzyme with PLA2 activity, when injected into blood, it converts phospholipids present in cell membranes of RBCs into lysophospholipids.  Therefore, snake venom toxins produce hemolysis of RBCs, which causes death if not treated by antitoxins.
  • 24. B- Sphingomyelin:  This type is present in cell membranes specially of the lungs and brain mainly in the myelin sheath. It contains sphingosine (sphingol) which is an 18 carbon amino alcohol. Fatty acids are linked to sphingosine by an amide bond to form ceramide, which is connected to phoshocholine to form sphingomyelin.
  • 25. Importance and Functions of Phospholipids: 1. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules that contain non-polar groups of fatty acid side chains and polar groups of glycerol, phosphate, serine, ethanolamine, choline and inositol. They form micelles in water. 2. They are good emulsifying factors, important for digestion and absorption of dietary fats. 3. They are good hydrotropic substances; they prevent deposition of cholesterol as cholesterol stones (biliary calculi). 4. They are important constituents of plasma lipoproteins.
  • 26. Importance and Functions of Phospholipids: 5. They provide arachidonic acid for synthesis of eicosanoids. 6. They are essential for blood clotting, as they provide the platelet activating factor (PAF), which is a plasmalogen that contains choline, palmityl alcohol at position 1 and acetic acid at position 2.
  • 27. Importance and Functions of Phospholipids: 7.Lung surfactant is formed mainly of dipalmitoyl-lecithin, the lack of which is responsible for respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants. -Lecithin/Sphingomyelin ratio (L/S ratio) is a marker of fetal lung maturity. The pulmonary secretions from the fetal lungs into amniotic fluid maintains the level of lecithin and sphingomyelin equally until 32-33 weeks gestation, afterward the lecithin concentration begins to increase significantly while sphingomyelin remains nearly the same. -L/S ratio of 2 or more indicates fetal lung maturity and L/S ratio of less than 1.5 is associated with a high risk of infant respiratory distress syndrome. -If preterm delivery is necessary and L/S ratio is low the mother may need to receive steroids to increase the fetus surfactant production in the lungs.
  • 28. Importance and Functions of Phospholipids:
  • 29. 2ry Messengers DAG &IP3 1. activation of G proteins 2. activation of phospholipase C. 3. PIP2 phospholipase C DAG+IP3 4. IP3 Calcium 5. DAG and Caicium activates protein kinase C (PKC) 6. phosphorylation of certain proteins. • Examples 1. chemical transmitters acetylcholine, histamine and serotonin), 2. hormones vasopressin and α-1 receptors 3. growth factors cAMP 1. activation of G proteins 2. activation of adenylyl cyclase cAMP 3. activates the protein kinase A 4. phosphorylation of proteins 5. It can be reversed by a) Phosphatase (dephosphorelation) b) Phophodiesterase( cAMP ) 6. Examples insulin&glucagon
  • 30. Importance and Functions of Phospholipids: 9.They are important constituents of lipid bilayer in cell membranes: membrane lipids are amphipathic; having both hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. Because of their structure, when phospholipids are added to water, they form phospholipid bilayer, so that the phosphate and other polar groups form heads and make contact with water (outer layer) and the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails are restricted to water–free areas (inner layer). Increased unsaturated fatty acids (USFA) content (at C2 of phospholipids) will increase membrane fluidity because, the kinks of the cis-double bonds prevent the packing of phospholipids closely together, keeping them away from each other, and allow greater mobility. Straight hydrocarbon tails of saturated fatty acids interact strongly with each other decreasing membrane fluidity.

  • 33. Fatty Acids  Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA): Chain length Name CNo Chemical formula Short - Acetic acid C2 CH3-COOH - Butyric acid C4 CH3-(CH2)2-COOH - Caproic acid C6 CH3-(CH2)4-COOH Medium - Capric acid C10 CH3-(CH2)8-COOH Long - Palmitic acid C16 CH3-(CH2)14-COOH - Stearic acid C18 CH3-(CH2)16-COOH - Arachidic acid C20 CH3-(CH2)18-COOH Very long - Lignoceric acid C24 CH3-(CH2)22-COOH Biomedical importance Increased intake of saturated fatty acids may lead to increase in plasma cholesterol levels and incidence of coronary heart disease.
  • 34. Fatty Acids  Unsaturated Fatty Acids (USFA):
  • 35. Fatty acids Trans Fatty acids: Trans fatty acids are formed mainly during the hydrogenation of liquid vegetable oils (during the manufacture of margarine). Sources: Very small amounts of trans-unsaturated fatty acids are found in butter but the main source in the human diet is from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (eg, margarine). They are present in many commercial baked foods as cakes and cookies, frozen pizza and most fried foods. Biomedical importance: Trans fatty acids compete with essential fatty acids and may exacerbate essential fatty acid deficiency. Moreover, they are structurally similar to saturated fatty acids and have comparable effects in the promotion of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.
  • 36. Fatty Acids  Cis Fatty acids:  They are classified according to the number of double bonds in their chains into two main groups:  1- Monoenoic acids: contain one double bond.  2- Polyenoic acids: they have more than one double bond in their structure, termed polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). They include two important families which are ω3 & ω6 PUFA.
  • 37. Fatty Acids 1-Monoenoic acids CH₃ (CH₂)n CH=CH (CH₂)x.COOH - Palmitoleic acid (ω7,16:1) CH₃ (CH₂)₅ CH=CH (CH₂)₇.COOH - Oleic acid (ω9,18:1) CH₃ (CH₂)₇ CH=CH (CH₂)₇.COOH - Nervonic acid (ω9,24:1) CH₃ (CH₂)₇ CH=CH (CH₂)₁₃.COOH 2-Polyenoic acids A- ω3 PUFA: CH₃.CH₂.(CH=CH.CH₂)x.(CH₂)y.

  • 38. Fatty Acids Importance of PUFA 1- They are important for synthesis of phospholipids. 2- Formation of eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, prostacyclins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes and lipoxins.
  • 39. Monoenoic acids Polyenoic acids ω6PUFAs ω3 PUFAs Sources are present in all animal and vegetable oils. Olive oil is a particular rich source. are present in nuts, olives, various oils as sunflower, cottonseed and corn oil. are present in plant oils as flaxseed and canola and in fish oil. Linoleic acid (18:2) is the precursor of ω6 family α-Linolenic acid (18:3) is the precursor of ω3 family Biomedical importance Intake has beneficial health effects as: -Decreased plasma cholesterol Intake of ω6 PUFAs may lead to: -decreased plasma cholesterol Intake of ω3 PUFAs may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease as they: -lower the blood pressure, -lower plasma triacylglycerol levels -decrease the tendency to thrombosis
  • 40. Fatty acids  Nutritional Classification of Fatty Acids:  a)- Essential Fatty Acids: They are not synthesized in our body, so it is essential to take them in diet. They include α linolenic and linoleic acids.  Arachidonic acid is synthesized in our bodies from linoleic but in its absence, arachidonic acid might be considered as an essential fatty acid.  Deficiency of essential fatty acids produces: Dermatitis in infants, fatty liver, growth retardation as well as defective sperms, brain and retina.  b)- Non Essential Fatty Acids: They include all other fatty acids because they are formed in our body in good amounts mainly from carbohydrates. It is not essential to take them in diet.
  • 41. Eicosanoids  They are characterized by the following common properties: 1. They are synthesized from PUFA with 20 carbon atoms mainly arachidonic acid. 2. They have 20 carbon atoms. 3. They are produced by most mammalian tissues. 4. They have physiological and pharmacological actions. 5. They are hormone- like molecules. They are autocrine and paracrine regulators. 6. The subscript number in an eicosanoid name indicates the number of double bonds in the molecule e.g. PGE1, PGE2 and PGE3 contain one, two and three double bonds respectively.
  • 42. Eicosanoids A- Cyclic compounds (prostanoids): 1- Prostaglandins (PG) 2- Prostacyclins (PGI) Anticoagulant 3- Thromboxanes (TX) Coagulation B- Acyclic compounds: 1- Leukotrienes (LT) Anti allergic 2- Lipoxins (LX) Allergic reactions
