Lipid metabolism entails the oxidation of fatty acids to either generate energy or synthesize new lipids from smaller constituent molecules. Lipid metabolism is associated with carbohydrate metabolism, as products of glucose (such as acetyl CoA) can be converted into lipids.
A lipid is chemically defined as a substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether, and chloroform. Lipids are an important component of living cells. Together with carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells. Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids.
Lipids (Greek: lipos, means fat or lard)
- are a heterogeneous class of naturally occurring organic substances
- have a distinguished functional group or structural features
- are insoluble in water and highly soluble in one or more of the solvents: ether, chloroform, benzene and acetone.This property sets them apart from proteins, carbohydrates,, nucleic acids and other biomolecules
- are widely distributed in the biological world
- play a wide variety of roles in plant and animal tissues

introduction to soil stabilization and introduction to geo textiles and synth...husna004
Stabilization is the process of blending and mixing materials with a soil to improve certain properties of the soil. The process may include the blending of soils to achieve a desired gradation or the mixing of commercially available additives that may alter the gradation, texture or plasticity, or act as a binder for cementation of the soil.
Fatty acids are obtained from the hydrolysis of fats.
Fatty acids that occur in natural fats usually contain an even number of carbon atoms (due to synthesis from 2-carbon units) and are straight chain derivatives.
The chain may be saturated (containing no double bonds) or unsaturated (containing one or more double bonds).
A lipid is chemically defined as a substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether, and chloroform. Lipids are an important component of living cells. Together with carbohydrates and proteins, lipids are the main constituents of plant and animal cells. Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Defination-They are esters of long chain fatty
acids and alcohols.
LIPID describes a chemically varied group of
fatty substances and are highly concentrated
energy stores.
They are water-insoluble bio-molecules but
soluble in organic solvents such as ether,
benzene. Chloroform, etc.
Lipids serve as fuel molecules, signal
molecules, and components of membranes,
hormones and intracellular messengers.
3. • Lipids are the constituents of cell membrane and regulate
membrane permeability.
• They protect internal organs, serve as insulating materials and give
shape and smoothness to the body.
• They serve as a source of fat soluble vitamins.
• Essential fatty acids are useful for transport of cholesterol,
formation of lipoproteins, etc.
• Phospholipids in mitochondria are responsible for transport of
electron transport chain components.
• Accumulation of fat in liver is prevented by phospholipids.
• Phospholipids help in removal of cholesterol from the body by
participating in reverse cholesterol transport.
• Cholesterol is a constituent of membrane structure and it
synthesizes bile acids, hormones and vitamin D. It is the principal
sterol of higher animals, abundant in nerve tissues and gallstones.
4. Based on there Biological functions Lipids
can be classified into:
Storage Lipids—The principle stored form of
energy
Structural Lipids– The major structural
elements of Biological Membranes
Lipids are signals, cofactors and pigments
5. LIPIDS are broadly classified into simple lipids, complex lipids,
derived lipids and miscellaneous lipids based on their chemical
composition.
1. SIMPLE LIPIDS: These lipids are the esters of fatty acids with
alcohols. They are of three types: Waxes, sterol esters and
Triacylglycerol.
2. COMPOUND/COMPLEX LIPIDS: These lipids are esters of fatty
acids with alcohols with additional groups such as phosphate,
nitrogenous base, etc. They are again divided into 3 types:
Phospholipids, Glycero phosphlipids, Sphingophospholipids.
3. DERIVED LIPIDS: These lipids are obtained on hydrolysis of
simple and complex lipids. These lipids contain glycerol and other
alcohols. This class of lipids include steroid hormones, ketone
bodies, hydrocarbons, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, mono and
diacylglycerides.
4. MISCELLANEOUS LIPIDS: These include compounds, which
contain characteristics of lipids. They include squalene, terpenes,
hydrocarbons, carotenoids, etc.
7. Storage Lipids include fats and oils, and
wax.
Fats and oils are composed of 3 fatty acids
each in ester linkage with a single glycerol
(Triacylglycerols)
Waxes are esters of long-chain(C14-C36)
saturated and unsaturated fatty acids with
long chain (C16-C30) alcohols
8. Triacylglycerol(Triglyceride) is an ester of
glycerol with three fatty acids.
Its also called neutral fat.
They are stored in adipocytes in animals and
endosperm and cotyledon cells in plants.
A mammal contains 5% to 25% or more of its
body weight as lipids,90%TAG
9. The TAG that contains same kind of fatty acids in all the
three positions are called as simple TAG, otherwise, Mixed
TAG
An example of TAG
10. Most occurring TAGs are mixed, which contain two or more
different fatty acids. TAGs are non polar, hydrophobic
molecules, essentially insoluble in water
11. • Fatty acids are composed only of carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen in the proportion of 76%, 12.6% and
11.3% respectively.
• Fatty Acids are carboxylic acids with hydrocarbon
chains ranging from 4-36.
• Fatty acids are of 2 types: Saturated and Unsaturated.
• Saturated Fatty Acids have no double bonds and thus
the hydrocarbon chain is completely unbranched
• Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double
bonds, usually in the cis-conformation.
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids have 2-6 double bonds.

14:0 tetradecanoic acid
16:0 Hexadecanoic acid
20:0 Eicosanoic acid
22:0 Docosanoic acid
24:0 Tetracosanoic acid
No double bonds for eg in 18:0, Octadecanoic acid
If one double bond then acid Octadecenoic acid
If two double bonds then Octadecadienoic acid
If three double bonds Octadecatrienoic acid.
Systematic names are based on IUPAC
nomenclature:
15. The most common positions for double bonds are
Δ9, Δ12, and Δ15.
The double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids are
separated by methyl group:
-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH-
In almost all the naturally occurring unsaturated fatty
acids, the double bonds are in Cis- configuration
16.
17. The type of fatty acid that connects to L-glycerol phosphate 3
Phosphate are specific for different organisms, different tissues of the
same organisms, and different glycerophospholipids in the same cells
and tissues.
18. Glycerophospholipid is named for the head group with the
prefix “Phosphotidyl”
Phosphatidylcholine– Lecithin
Phosphatidylethanolamine
Phosphatidylserine Cephalin
19.

21.
22. Cholesterol is a derived lipid. Its widely
distributed as sterols in animals and humans
Its an essential component of cell membrane
Vit. D, hormones and bile acids are synthesised
from cholesterol.
Bile acids are essential for normal digestion
and absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
Most of the cholesterol is synthesised by the
liver
An increase in dietary intake of cholesterol,
increases its synthesis in the body as well
which leads to coronary heart diseases.
Unsaturated fats reduce the level of
cholesterol in blood.
23.
24. Low density lipoproteins (LDL) transports
cholesterol from liver through blood to the
tissues (Bad cholesterol)
High density lipoprotein (HDL) transports
cholesterol from blood to the liver where it
is metabolised (Good cholesterol)
LDL Cholesterol High risk of heart
attack
HDL Cholesterol Low risk of heart
attack
25. Bile Acids are polar derivatives of cholesterol that
act as detergents in the intestine, emulsifying
dietary fats to make them more accessible to
digestive lipases
26. Linoleic, Linolenic, and Arachidonic acids
Essential fatty acids synthesize structural fats
in tissues such as prostoglandins, leukotriens,
prostocyclins, thromboxane which regulate
body functions such as blood clotting,
inflammation etc.
Essential fatty acid deficiency can result in
abnormalities like poor growth, increase food
intake, scale inflammation of skin and
impaired immune response.
Best dietary sources are vegetable oils(corn
oil, sunflower oil) and oil rich fish (Herring ,
Sardine)
27. Major energy
stores in
humans are
Lipids in form of
Triacylglycerols
(TAG)
The advantages
of using TAG as
stored fuels:
28. α Oxidation
β Oxidation
ω-Oxidation
Quantitatively β oxidation of fatty acids is the
most important pathway which occurs in the
mitochondria. However α and ω also occur.
β oxidation of fatty acids occur on the matrix
side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It’s
the most important pathway for fatty acid
oxidation. In β oxidation 2 c atoms are cleaved
at a time from fatty acyl coa molecules starting
at the COOH end.
29. Several enzymes collectively known as fatty
acid oxidase are found in the mitochondrial
matrix catalyse the oxidation of fatty acyl coA
to acetyl coA
Initial Step: Requires an ATP to synthesize
acetyl CoA with the fatty acid
34. Beta Oxidation basically contains 4 reactions:
Dehydrogenation, Hydration, Dehydrogenation.
Cleavage
Each pass through beta oxidation removes 2 carbon
atoms from fatty acids
And produces one molecule of FADH2 and one

Editor's Notes
Low levels of free fatty acid occur in all tissues, but substantial amount can be found in plasma specially during fasting. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the -COOH group, and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind. This could be an alkyl group like methyl or ethyl, or one containing a benzene ring like phenyl.
